Notes: there are many aftermarket water pumps available, but the savings do not merit their use. This estimate does not include diagnostics, which if applicable, should not exceed 1.0 (or $80 @ $80 per hour). Most water pump leaks are fairly obvious and thus diagnostic charges are often minimal or waived altogether.
If the timing belt has not been replaced, this should be considered at the time of water pump replacement, as there is no additional labor. However, other components such as the timing belt tensioner and/or idler pulley may also need to be replaced. Additional labor is minimal (.5). Parts are fairly expensive, however - idler $79.05, tensioner - $143.65, possibly less ($101.72) depending on vehicle's production date.
Miles are estimated - see notes regarding high mileage vehicles below.... |
