Hehe. It reminds me of the time I asked at reception in a San Diego hotel for someone to unlock the lift so I could get to the car park... >Take a look at >this diagram and tell me which seal we are talking about (give me a >number) > >http://www.eeuroparts.com/images/diagrams/bbeccccf-1125-4557-9a66-6996b73d1a3f.gif > > I think that's a diagram for a B204 engine. I have a B205R which has extra connections on the water pump. It looks like this. http://www.stamp.plus.com/temp/WaterPump.JPG The banjo is marked 26 on this diagram and the offending washer is the one on the pump side of the banjo. Here's what I mean by a dowty seal (2nd item down). http://www.mpsracing.com/products/Earls/PA_Seals.asp Now I come to look more carefully at the original seal though, it's not quite the same as a real dowty. The rubber part is much wider. My replacement was a dowty though. Cheers, Colin.
