Replacing the timing belt and water pump on a 2004 Volkswagen 2.0 Beetle(98-05). This is a known problem with these and a metal impeller water pump is definitely recommended vs OE plastic impeller. Don't forget to drain coolant beforehand, I didn't because I thought it was dry. Job went smooth. An extra set of hands would make it easier but can be done by yourself. A mirror could be used in place of the scope i used to set the tensioner. Bent needle nose pliers worked ok in place of the tensioner tool.
