Freelander 1.8 water pump

Is it vital to change the water pump??

I've got the engine in bits, Head off, sump off etc do I really need to change the water pump? Oh and do I need to use red antifreeze as opposed to blue?

Cheers

You don't have to change the water pump but it's a good idea while it's all apart. Yes you do have to use OAT, red, antifreeze.

Cool, Cheers for the advice

Is all red antifreeze OAT stuff?

How about this stuff?

That looks like the stuff. OAT- Organic Acid Technology. I think it is all red.
