Hey guys, my water pump decided to die today on me while i was driving. Now i found this awesome DIY for an RWD but my car is AWD so im wondering if the procedure will be the same for AWD. Thanks in advance!

Slightly different. But if you follow this guide you will be ok.

I found it helpful to remove the fender liner...gets you access from the side for some of the hose clamps.

Take of passenger wheel loosen passenger motor mount jack up the motor and you will have all the room you need to get to all the bolts and hoses to change the water pump I did it on an xi at least 4 times already lol. It was said to buy new bolts every time you change it but the new bolts are steel
