Have a search and check the stickers, it's pretty straightforward.
And welcome to the forum.

Which engine? 8v easy as pie, 16v a little more involved but still pretty simple.
Just read the guides a few times, take your time and double check everything if you're in doubt. :y:

For the price just replace the water pump at the same time whilst its apart.
