How much would a new timing belt and water pump cost?

If its been about 130,000 miles on a 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse how much would it cost to have the timing belt and water pump replaced?



Also, any other parts the might need replacing and their cost?How much would a new timing belt and water pump cost?Its depends on your motor. So i'll assume you have the 1.8L in there and have air conditioning.



3.1 hours labor for timing belt ($79.23)



timing belt tensioner ($26.22)



crankshaft oil seal, add 0.3 to timing belt labor ($15.27)



camshaft oil seal, add 0.2 to timing belt labor ($19.43)



waterpump, add 0.5 to belt labor ($122.02)



optional, drive belts if cracked/dry.



*all prices US dollarsHow much would a new timing belt and water pump cost?is your water pump leaking NO then dont replace it

now the timing belt on the other hand that going to run some money like 800 bucksHow much would a new timing belt and water pump cost?If you just replace the timing belt and nothing else, a shop will probably charge approximately $400 for parts and labor. The timing belt itself only costs around $20, but it's the labor that is costly.



A true timing belt job includes the following:

--Changing the timing belt of course.

--Changing all external drive belts.

--Changing the waterpump.

--Changing the valve cover gasket.

--Changing the crank shaft seal

--Changing the cam shaft seal.

--Changing the coolant.



That is a true timing belt job! That will cost approximately $700, but it is worth it. I know many people who just change the timing belt and water pump at most, then in a few thousand miles, the crank shaft seal starts leaking oil and hitting the exhaust and smoking really bad, then they have to take it back to the shop and replace the crank shaft seal, which costs about $250 because it is right next to the timing belt and it takes a lot of labor/time to go back an replace the seal. In fact that happened to a 1993 Subaru Impreza I once owned. The guy before me replaced the timing belt, but not the seals and once the seal started leaking, it was really bad and I had to take it to a shop and basically do a whole new timing belt job, because I said, the seals are right next to the timing belt. The mechanic even showed me that the timing belt looked nearly new, but the previous owner did not do the seals, so I had to spend hundreds of dollars and do it the right way.

Same with the waterpump. if you just change the timing belt for $400 and forget the waterpump, then shortly after the waterpump goes bad, the mechanic will charge you another $350 to back in there and replace it. Do EVERYTHING as I noted above all at once and you will have a pretty trouble-free running car for a good while. Also keep the reciepts as that will greatly increase the selling price of your car, believe me.



Remember, replacing just the timing belt itself doesn't do you any good, when a little later down the road seal or water pump goes bad and will be paying twice the cost to have a mechanic take the time to go back all the way down and fix a simple seal that cost not more than $20 had you replaced it when you did the timing belt. If not, plan on spending another labor charge of $300.How much would a new timing belt and water pump cost?The only way to find out for sure would be to take the car to an auto repair shop for an estimate.

Expect a very expensive repair.How much would a new timing belt and water pump cost?$550 or so. If you can get the water pump from autozone and give it to the mechanic, you'll save some there.
