The water pump is probably fine and won't need replacing. But it is always included in a quote for this type of work because it becomes accessible when the cambelt area is exposed.
So it makes good sense to replace it just in case.
That therefore will add a BIT to your expenses, but agree with the others that you really should be in the hands of a good local independant for this work.
And bear in mind, most cars now need cambelts changing - it gets expensive forever "running away" from the problem, unless you lease your car for a couple of years only, then change for new.
water pumps are about £20 to £30 for decent makes from motor factors
i get them under £20 trade price
so its silly not to change this.
id try getting a home mechanic to do a homer
if i was close id do it for £200 to help someone out rather than to make money from them
ok its tax free labour ahem and working out a van so no great overheads. but vat is included in parts
fyi a breakdown of prices so you know how much dealers are ripping you off.
get an indipendant fiat specialist or even ford as its a reskinned KA . aint they?
dayco belt and tensioner about £35
miratec water pump or similar say £25
bosch oil filter £5
4 x ngk plugs £10
hengst or similar fuel filter if needed £8
pattern air filter under £10
oil and consumables i get supplied but say a decent oil £25
long life anti freeze again i get but say £12
parts add up £130
coffee supplied and a swift £70 in my back pocket for a good saturday shift 4-5 hours doing a proper job and service advising on anything i see along the way.
hope you get a cheaper quote lol
it really boils my pi$$ when i hear of someone i know being ripped off from a garage doing a service and charging a fortune by adding on topping up windscreen washer bottle and fitting a phantom blown bulb etc costing crazy mark up prices.
