Howdy,
The motor of my '97 Jetta TDI will have 80,000 miles very soon. I change the belt and tensioner every 40k miles (after getting a new engine at 50k
100% covered under the warantee, so the car actually has ~130k).Here is the question. If I have the work done,
- Is it no extra labor charge to change the water pump?
- Should I do it this time or wait ~2 years until I have another 40k miles on it?
- Those of you who have run water pumps until they die, how long should I expect? For what it's worth, I am gritting my teeth and following the manual's advice to not change the coolant ever.
- If GM water pumps at Pep Boys are like , what will I pay for a good one?
regards, Keith Loyd
