Hi,
A friend has had a quote from a garage to do the above work. They have quoted:
Timing belt £77
Fitting £168
Water pump £55
Fitting £105
(All inc vat)
My question is (I do not know anything about the 1.9 engines) the two labour charges. I'm under the impression that the water pump is within the timing belt covers so therefore no need for suck a hike just to remove and refit the pump?
Or is the WP located elsewhere on the engine, which could then justify the extra labour charge. He has emailed the garage back and awaiting a response.
I don't have his exact engine code to hand, other than its a 1999 Vw Sharan Auto, 1.9tdi 110bhp.
Cheers,
Dan
