beware of garages promising cambelts and tensioners being done...unless they can prove it or have a copy invoice....and if they cant id be getting that, and the water pump done.

Unfortuneately they do not do the sensibly thing and replace the Water Pump automatically while it is all stripped down to do the Timing Belt. Great pity because the Pump is only about £25 but it means a Major strip down to do it.Wishing you the Best and Hope it has been done because if it does leak it ruins the Timing Belt and Adjuster and can lead to Major Engine Damage!!!

Just a thought after reading your other thread. Are you talking about the thermostat that controls the electric cooling fan or the thermostat controlling water flow to the radiator?

The fan thermostat is below the top radiator hose on the passenger side of the radiator, and much easier to get to.

after 3 garages told me it was the thermo turned out it's the water pump as most of you said, i did tell a local garage this, he is fitting it Tuesday. Any ideas where it is and how long should it take. the guy charges £20 hr as he does it after hours?

I could change a V6 water pump in less than an hour

And then some...

Not very quick at working on cars though ;) ;D

Seriously though, if someone quotes any more than 2 hours to change this water pump, they're either not competent enough, or are after the ££ :)
