Re: Timing belt replacement - What else should I get done at the same time?
As I am still weighing the cost benefit of doing this myself vs the covienience of drop off and pick up from the dealer (yes, I know the massive difference in cost), I called the dealership and was told that if the water pump is not leaking out the weep hole that they won't change it. I'm not questioning the issue of pay now or pay later, but am curious to know from you all if it is possible to change the timing belt without draining the cooling system and pulling the radiator. The guy over the phone quoted 370 for timing belt alone and said they don't have to do anything to the cooling system as long as the water pump shows no signs of leaking. If they were going to replace the water pump, it would be an additional 350. Sound right to you all?
