i have a 94 st, is the waterpump connected to the timing belt? is it the same labor? because my car overheated and the waterpump went out, i needed it fixed fast so i took it to a shop and he told me that to change the timing belt its a totally different labor and would cost alot more for more labor. i read the walkthough of the waterpump and timing belt change on here but that was a on a gt. anoy

No WAY it would cost $300 extra for labor! He was charging you basically twice. The whole JOB shouldn't cost more than $300 for the timing belt, so $450 for the T-belt and the pump sounds reasonable, figuring the water pump runs around $90 on average. Doing either is labor intensive, which is why you do both together - to kill 2 birds with one stone. That other guy was totally trying to take advantage of you.
