If you are short of money then leave the water pump, the timing belt AND rollers are more important.

If the water pump is old then I'd change it as soon as you have the money. As said, depends if you are doing it, where time is free or you are paying a garage to do it.

I'd give the water pump a go myself probably TBH or Pete mate would do it on a Sat, he 's not charging what you would call standard garage rates and he lives next door but one so no biggy to go back at a later date

Ok. Thought your 150-160 was for the kit alone

f*ck that, Pete mate has the tools, on you go chap

The Honda has an idle issue and the Clio needs a start up and move about so it doesn't f***ing weld it's self to the drive though

Always a car that needs playing with here

ALZ1307 · « **Reply #55 on:** March 10, 2012, 16:49:15 PM »

Well that's me in the Honda for a couple of days then

Autovaux have sent some random aux belt

and the water pump is on it's last legs

Butcher · « **Reply #56 on:** March 10, 2012, 16:55:32 PM »

Is it the non ac aux belt they've sent? How do you know the water pump is on its way out?

Thought you were doing the cam belt?

Aux belt is a 20 min job (yes, really 20 mins unlike a rear knock sensor) so can't you do the cambelt anyway & replace the aux belt when the right one arrives?

Do the waterpump at the same time, you'll still get a week or two motoring out of it while you wait for parts.

Water pumps aren't too bad, ?30 on the bay

God knows but it's way to short. Cos Pete said he could hear it, I drive around with my rib cage moving.

Cam belt is done, and oil and filter change. Pointless putting it back together when the correct belt and pump will be here Mon

I've told Pete to order one for Mon, can't be arsed waiting, I'm off next week, hospital appointment and sh*t, I just want my car, not rely on borrowing what ever is on the drive

If this was a Mon it would be sorted by now, blooming typical!
