Water pump blew

Hey my water pump blew the other day and my car is in the shop :mad: ...however the guy hasnt called me back yet on the price to fix it. Does anyone know about how much it will cost?

About 300. Hopefully he does the timing belt at the same time.

300? I did mine in an afternoon and it only cost me like 30 bucks......damn mechanics.....

Mine was 245 with timing belt done. That was before taxes though.

$30 bucks? my water pump cost less than $20. did you get a high performace water pump or something? :)

It was a high guess. I did it like a year go. its just the plain ol OEM pump.

my mom just had that done. i bought the pump and a new timing belt for $30 each, and one shop wanted $250 to put them on. the mechanic was trying to screw me tho cuz he said he had to change the balancing belt too and i know good and well the A20 doesn't have a balancing shaft. i took it to another shop and they did it for $160. He didn't change the timing belt tho, said it looked good...

shoulda had him do it anyway. seeing as how you already had one. wouldnt have hurt.

i wanted him to! dangit i guess i shoulda told him that instead of just leaving it in the bag with the water pump. i figured he'd get the point tho...

I was waiting at a Brakes plus with my friend and this lady was paying..Her total was around 600 dollars. (and that was just for the waterpump and some new hoses) Hopefully they dont rape you like that.

Yea i went to A&A over here in JAX and i got my oil changed, the oil filter replaced and got my water pump replaced for $322, so i guess it was a pretty good deal

well my pump new cost $15 and labor was free self installed and it had no probs afterwards until it died but labor is about $60 hour so about $200~250

besides they arent hard to put on anyway I did mine had no probs! will sell mine for $10 + shipping less than a year old in perfect shape

The part ($25) plus some beer and lots of sweat from this freakin south texas weather, damnit!

any "mechanic" that doesn't insist on changing all the stuff around the water pump doesn't know much about hondas..or they want your repeat biz. Changing the water pump?..all opf the expensive stuff is off the engine already...maybe an extra hour labor..coolant ( or oil) leaking onto the timing belt is just bad news..change it now ( unless you're selling the car)
