Re: 2004 9-3 Waterpump Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] (#112) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SWEDECAR) on Mon, 19 Apr 2010 12:57:22 In Reply to: 2004 9-3 Waterpump, Dan M., Mon, 19 Apr 2010 05:22:03 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Just did one this week and it came up to about $650.00 parts and labor.
5 hours is the normal time but it is not a fun job and the special tool that should be used is not manufactured properly so you end up having to remove the whole timing cover to reset the balance chain tensioner.
It is three special o-rings needed as well as the pump and they alone are about $40.00 on top of the water pump price which is about $130.00. Timing cover gasket is about $50.00 too.
So all depending on what parts were included in the estimate, it might only be the labor rate that is on the high side.
