time is almost up for my timing belt 105k , would you get a water pump. It increases the price $100-$150.
Im thinking it would be ok to leave it ,but the insurance factor of it is a compelling argument to get it done also.
has anyone got the belt done and left the water pump alone?

 

do it now that it is apart

 

how much are you paaying for labor on that timing belt?
if your water pump goes out next month make sur eyou have that much cash on hand sicne its gonna cost that much to put the pump in....

 

Ur crazy not to do the water pump if ur gonna do the timing belt, its gonna cost you a lot of money to change the water pump seperately, so you may as well just do it now.

Dont cheap out. Use a Honda timing belt too (personally wouldnt trust anything else).

yes, cant beat oem quality
do it at once, you want it to die on you later, then you gonna hate yourself not doing everything the first time.

 

replace the timing belt and the water pump, and also the crank seal behind the pulley.

 

do you plan to keep the car past 135-150k? &lt;--- [about how long wp's last]

 

the labor rate was from $460 cheapest indy shop
the dealer wanted $525 the other dealer 10 miles down the road wanted $655.

Would you pay the extra 80 bucks to have the delaer do it?

All these prices include the water pump.

 

timming belt and water pump kinda go hand and hand when it comes to maintence

 

the water pump is 5 bolts more if you are doing the timing belt. If you do the pump by itself you are looking at the same ammount of labor as the timing belt. If you are going to keep the car, do it
