Identifying Cabriolet replacement water pump
Good morning! I have an '89 Rabbit Cabriolet (1.8, SOHC, set up for a/c) and have a leaking water pump (unless, by some stroke of luck, it turns out to be a hose connection at the pump!)... My question: Is there a way to determine the type of water pump (the parts stores seem to list four, varying from a 30mm to 40mm hub and different bolt patterns, etc.) used upon this year and particular engine (short of actually removing the covers and pump, etc.)? I realize this is not the ideal way to go about it but with funds being quite tight, the pumps not being in stock (thus the need to know which pump in particular) and not having alternative transportation to use while the car is down, I'd like to be able to identify and order the correct pump before taking everything apart. Is this a pipe dream? <chuckle> Thanks for any help in advance! Johnnie - Clarksville, TN

According to germanautoparts.com there is only 1 pump (though
different packaging). Looks like a 30mm hub. I also have an 89 cab and have ordered a bunch of parts from them (they are fast, the parts always fit, and great). Parts always come the next day to MA.

Yep spend the extra $19 you will save yourself the pleasure of snapping off
the old waterpump cover bolts. The housing bolt are big enough that you have to try really hard to snap them.
