172 Water Pump

[JR]

Easy job to replace it ?

The part is about £20-£30 Iirc ?

expected price to pay ? how many hours work is it etc ?

A mate has been told his is starting to weap a bit, but unsure about the above, i didnt know so i thought i would ask on here for him.

Any ideas chaps ?

 

[Fred@BTM]

with aircon?

 

[JR]

yup, he also has a ph 1 172, but hes not on here though, hence me asking for him.

 

[Fred@BTM]

its a wanker

 

[JR]

ok , lol. Am i correct that the part is about 20-30 ? any idea on the labour for doing it ? how long it will take ?

 

[DrR]

Think my waterpump was about £40

 

[Fred@BTM]

4.1hr job according to my book

water pump won't' be that expensive

 

[JR]

rough idea for you to supply and fit then fredrico ?

 

[Fred@BTM]

how did i know you were gonna ask!

please not me! the delicate skin on my hands will be ruined (again!)

 

[JR]

dont be soft, just put a price up.

 

[Fred@BTM]

well what ever the part costs + 4.1 x £45+vat

plus you should change the aux belt

 

[JR]

aux belt has just been done.

 

[JR]

so £216 just in labour. wow

 

[Fred@BTM]

thats his risk then

 

[Fred@BTM]

take it to whoever did his auxbelt? get them to swap it?

 

[JR]

thats his risk then

It was replaced on sat at renault. Would it still be fine ?

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah, but we would want to change it anyway, thats just the way we do things

if it comes in to us, we remove the current belt, swap the water pump, put the same belt back on and "something" were to happen

you get the idea

 

[JR]

yeh that makes sense. where the hell is it located then ? as it seams like a pig of a job.

 

[Fred@BTM]

right down the bottom

 

[len_beach]

I'm having my belts done on Friday. The car is on 50k, is it worth having the pump done as well?

 

[Fred@BTM]

get it looked at
