Replacing Timing Belt and Water Pump

David89 · 注册: 2004-07-18

Can anyone help answer thsi? Thanks in advance.

Want to replace the Timing Belt since it's over due.
But the dealer recomended to replace the Water Pump at the same time, which will cost $300 more.

Is it a big deal to replace Water Pump?

They are usually replalced at the same time to save labour cost as they last more or less the same mileage.

What would be total cost (parts and labour), by the way? A pump costs $300? It sounds a bit too expensive. What model is your car?

My car is 1999 camry. The dealer quoted total cost around $550.

if that price is from Toyota dealer, that's pretty cheap.

OMG it's cheap. What labor do they use? Students from college??

Timing belt + water pump for just 550?? or it's only for the water pump?

If it's $550, no private garage will do it since its too cheap for timing belt and water pump.
