Although i did the rebuild on the pump back in 2016 it was Jules who fitted it about a month ago when he did the belts and pulley for me.

Its nice and dry there now. My original alternator had seen a fair few drips of pas fluid through it. My silver cdt connie se now has a new lease of life.

Refurbed pump, fresh altrnator, belts and pulleys, AC totally refurbed by Jules, and my hole welded. Good for another 200k and 20 years I hope.

The hose which connects with a flange to the front side of the pump has a rubber O-ring seal under the flange . This leaked on mine . Don't know if the CDT is the same as the v6 ?
