Water pump inlet/outlet

Another silly question - which is the inlet pipe on the waterpump?

From looking at it I think it's the bottom one, but just want to confirm.

Cheers

You mean the engine right ?

Water goes into the bottom, and comes back out on top.

Guessing the extra two bottom pipes are to the heater matrix and the two small ones are air-con?

Race car you see, heaters are extra weight!

So bottom pipe = inlet
Top pipe = outlet
Two medium size pipes on bottom = heater pipes?
Two small pipes (one top, one bottom) = air con?
