Hi all. So I took your advice and bought a new auxilary water pump.

Yes- it took this long to arrive

New alternator installed. Now to test it.

I plan to unlock the cluster to check the battery charges. It says 11.3 volts. The battery hasn't been touched in a long time. Is that bad?

Should I drive the car a while, then turn it off and see if the voltage hasimproved?

When I broke the old one, heaps of liquid came out. Now it says "coolant level low". I forgot to top up and "bleed" the old coolant. I started it for like 10 seconds. How does the bleed process go?
