Water pump?

Well ive just got home and check alternator came on the dash as i stopped. Got out and water is pissing all over the place. Im guessing its the water pump that has gone. Is this right? And how hard is it to change? Does the engine need to come out? Ive got to sort it 2moz as i need the car friday. So could do with some advice quick time. thanks

Check the aux belt the water pump might have collapsed so the alternator is not spinning. If the belt is tight it might be a water pipe that's popped. You can do it without taking the engine out take out the evap unit, power steering reservoir and expansion tank and washer tank then you can get to the engine mount as you need to undo this to jack the engine up to get to the pump nicely 3 x 5 or 6 mm bolts and a bit of a wiggle then it's out make sure the o ring comes out.
