I bought my car at 91000kms , did a cambelt change then and other normal tuneups but the waterpump was left out.Mechanic told me at the time that it didnt need to be changed since it was fine and I went along since I didn't know much about cars.
Is it just a matter of time before the waterpump would fail or are they supposed to last. What are the implications of it failing? Overheating? From what I gather, if I was to get someone to change just the waterpump now, it would cost quite a bit?How many hours of labour would it be. |

I just did a service at 99500kms and didn't change the waterpump. The mechanic told me that it was rocksolid! I said that when he was about to change the timing belt that he also should change the waterpump, but he said it would last a long time. (I hope)
