You'll potentially regret using used parts. It a 4 hour ball achy job, so I'd only fit new parts.

While it is off, check and / or replace the O ring on the coolant rail. Impossible to get off without removing pump and stat. Or rail which is harder !! A new pump comes with a new gasket which requires the old one, if original, to be cut off as...

That was pump noise, likely due to air being trapped in the pump vane assembly. The only safe way to bleed this system (and most modern hydraulic PS systems) is to use the rack to purge the air with the engine off. Only after most of the air has...

Always wise to change the water pump if the pulley is at fault, also you may as well do the thermostat at the same time, change both belts. Gates https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174947881084 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162597598422 ContiTech...

Thanks for your answer. Quick update: lifted the car, replaced the power steering reservoir with a completely new one, fixed a small leak at the quick connector, and tightened the pump hose clamp just in case. I also bled the system properly...
