focus mk1 1800 petrol zetec - timing belt and waterpump change - amyamandaallen

Hi.

Think the waterpump has gone and Im dripping coolant by the OSF wheel.

I have asked for a few quotes and they seem to think they dont need to take the timing belt off ( I had it changed 8/10 k ago about 18 months ago ) to change the pump but everywhere else I look tells me the pump runs off the timing belt?

Is this correct?

They have quoted £148 to change the waterpump inclusive, that sounds fair.

Just want to check before I commit.

Cheers.

Water pump is driven from poly-vee belt.No need to touch timing belt. Quote looks about right.Hope that includes new antifreeze.
