    Hi guys, owner of a 2008 1.3 Copen here.

    Recently, a rattling noise has started to plague my engine regardless of how long it's left to sit. Upon further inspection, I noticed the water pump pulley shaking the belt around.

    I just wanted to ask, do I have to take out the engine to deal with the water pump pulley? Or is there some sort of way to deal with it without going through all that ruckus? :sweating:

    I think it's possible to change the water pump without taking the engine out, but you will probably have go via the wheel well and it will not be an easy job because it's a tight place
