    1.4 TSI thermostat housing seal replacement

    Has anyone replaced the thermostat housing seal without renewing the pump drive belt?
    I have a pesky leak on the seal (not the main thermostat cover seal, which is relatively easy) but the pump/thermostat seal. The erwin manual describes a mind-numbing procedure which requires a 'second mechanic'; maintaining 30nm torque on the pump; not holding the torque wrench with the other hand; etc.; etc.; etc;.
    Is it really so bad?
    A VW Golf is like a German art house film, laughing clowns and naked women fighting maddened crows. A Toyota Corolla is like a glass of tap water. Jeremy Clarkson
