Water pump position

[maxpower10]

In the middle of a timing belt change and water pump swap. The water pump can be mounted in any position 360° around. What is the correct initial position of it, so I can complete this installation?

About the same angle as in your photos. It doesn't really fit till its turned about right, you will be able to feel it. Ther you have about 20 degrees of adjustment to tighten the belt.

Mine goes in and spins nicely 360. There isn't one good position. Looking at the old bolt marks on the old one isn't really too helpful. I wish that pic was higher res. hard to tell on that drawing.

Odd, mine didn't seat all the way. Pretty good real pic a bit past half way down on this page: http://www.aveoforum.com/forum/f103/...91/index6.html

Exactly what I needed. Thank you!
