Water Pump question

I have a 1984 Jetta GL turbo diesel and I need to buy a new water pump and was wondering if there is an easy way to find out whether your existing pump is an 8 hole mount or a 9 hole mount? I mean, if I could feel around the pump, I could count them, but without taking the pump off, I can't access most of the bolts to find out how many. Do the pumps look different? Different manufacturers? Anyway, thanks for any help you can give me.

AFAIK I believe that you will have the 9 hole mount, but the 9'er pump should fit on the 8 hole housing. So no worries! :-) There will be two options for the hub (where the pulley mounts to)though, and you should take the smaller hub. Brands make a difference too! What options do you have? later, dave
