Grazer Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 Just got the pressure test done which nicely demonstrated water/coolant pissing out of the water pump at an alarming rate If you'd told me a few days ago my water pump was going to break I would have been pissed off, but compared to other possiblities it's a relief!

I bet! I know how relieved you must be, I was similarly happy when I found out my rad had cracked. As you say, you've had a result there mate, could've been much worse. Mind you, changing the water pump doesn't look like a walk in the park either from what I could see when i was thinking of changing my stat.

Grazer Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 The guy in the local garage said he'd fit it for about £60 - sounds reasonable to me. I'm still not sure which bit is the water pump Am I right in thinking the pump is about £60? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hole was too small at first, but he used a smaller bung before applying the pressure. :eye's watering smilie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy a cambelt and get him to shove that on at the same time cause he has to take it off to do the pump and dont forget to buy the O ring that goes between the housing and the block behind the pump !!!!

carl0s Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 sorry.. my stupidity. There was a thread on here yesterday where the pound sign didn't display properly among other things, because it was posted using UTF-8 encoding but the page didn't specify it. When I read this thread the "£60" looked like a funny triangle but it turns out I had set my browser for Chinese Simplified when I was messing yesterday :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambelt replaced last year. I take it this O ring wont come with the pump then? Where would I get it - toyota? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazer Posted July 31, 2004 Author Share Posted July 31, 2004 Well that's me sorted: Water pump £120.00 approx Timing belt £28.30 Labour £401.25 Total £564.50 Oh well, I suppose it's worth it! They charged for 10hours labour as this gave the price that Toyota had quoted - although they said it took them about 16hours. If anything else goes wrong this year I may have to say bye bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything else goes wrong this year I may have to say bye bye £400 labour??? I had a cambelt done with a full service and brake pads replaced on the front for £360 all in. That water pump must be a right git to take off:( Plus if you have spent that much cash on it recently you will have to protect ur investment with a bit more lol. Thats the theory i used on me busted Omega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
