Hi ,
What are your views on whether to replace the water pump when you get the timing belt done ??
My 2015 A4 Allroad only has 33k miles on the clock and has been well looked after. I've been quoted £525 for a timing belt and water pump change by a reputable indie garage who I trust with my car. They say the price is so high due to a new OEM water pump.
I can understand changing a water pump on a high mileage car, but on a car with only 33k on the clock ?? I'm aware of the so called "false economy" of not getting it done, but I wondered how many didn't bother getting the water pump done, and how many had had water pump failures ??
Cheers,
Graeme.
