I am finally free from my treacherous school semester and its summer time. That means lots of sun, drinks, and good times with the convertible... That I put away in the winter because of a water pump issue. Ouch... I wanted to confirm with all the engine-savvy 6gc'ers that my water pump was still leaking, so I used good old distilled water in my radiator. Drove fantastically for the day, passed the night test into the working day today, and I arrive home to a slow drip coming from what I assume to be my water pump housing.
I'm a recovering college student so money doesn't come in anything more than a couple hundred a week or so and I know this will cost me money to fix at a garage so I came hunting for tips. Of those of you whom have already replaced your water pumps/ timing belt assemblies, how much did you have to spend? I want to know the appropriate prices to aim for when I go shopping.
