Fitz Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Can anyone tell me if they know, roughly how much it would cost to change the gasket in the waterpump in an N/A Supra? Cheers Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 Is that from Mr. T himself or just a generic price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kslb Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Just a guess, sorry thought it was a competition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 A lot. probably about £300 from Mr T. The water pump sits behind the timing belt, so its basically the same workscope as changing the timing belt. I'd say it was worth doing both jobs if you are at all close to a timing belt change. Are you sure it’s the gasket that is leaking and not the water pump itself?

pistonbroke Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I had a look at the car, and saw that the water was dripping from the gasket area itself. There is no way of telling whether the pump has failed in some way internally until it's taken off. Either way, the pump has to come off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexJames Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Well, it took me ages to do it so it would probs cost mostly labour unfortunately. I needed to remove the radiator (to have work room) all of the engine cover and pulleys etc... aux belt. belt tensioner to be able to get at a few of the water pump bolts... Make sure who ever does it knows what they are doing though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I was quoted £150 to change the water pump on an NA at a reputable specialist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 That's crazy cheap. The water pump itself is nearly £100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I guess that was for labour.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Cliff, give Derek a ring at Tech One in Sidcup on 020 8302 0600. Tell him I put you on to him, ask for a price to replace the water pump on your NA. get one price with a new pump from toyota, and another just for fitting. I would probably get onto Keron or Jezzybabes and get a low mileage second hand one from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
