I'm about to spend the weekend replacing my waterpump due to a wobbly pulley. I have found so very useful guides on how to do this, but I was a little confused by the gaskets. I found an american thread where they guy said only use the rubber gasket supplied and not both the rubber and paper gaskets supplied. Is this the case or should I fit both as they cam with the new pump?
 
It should have a flat metal gasket. That is all you will need.

It has a rubber one that fits into the chanel on the engine block and a paper one, no metal one. Maybe the later 209 ones has a metal one as its a different pump
 
Only has a rubber gasket - what pump did you buy to have a paper gasket with it - surely not OEM or equivalent?
 
Fitted it the weekend and not too bad a job :) only used the rubber gasket and seems fine so far.

Next onto the crankshaft sensor and then I might start actually driving her :)
