my x16xe is losing water, its not the head gasket as weve checked so its either a hose but have checked all the ones i can see but my bro thinks it could be the water pump, can it lose water from there? corsa has only done 58k so are they known to go? also, anyone no how much they are?

Yes it could be the water pump but you have to see where you leak is first, does it leave puddles behind? to change the water pump is going to be expensive at a garage so you want to be sure first

As James said its not that bad to do yourself. Did mine on the x14xe and had it back together in an hour or so.

one is next to the alternator bolts to the back of the head next to the inlet manifold, the other is a pipe that ges through the lower inlet and is held on with a pipe clip between cylinders 2&3.
also check the heater matrix unions next to the firewall.
