Parts plus 5 hours labor or so. Book time is 5hrs although they might charge an extra 0.5hr for rusty stuff or something, who knows. Probably around $500 for labor, and about $100 at least in parts. At least. (belt kit-$35, water pump-$40, vbelts-$30, cam seal-$10, frt main seal-$10)

Yup, dont skimp on the "while you're in there" parts... My waterpump failed prematurely after 55k miles. Usually they'll last 100k, or two belt changes. I really wish I had replaced it when I did the T-belt 5k miles before that. I was being cheap at the time though.87 325IS - Delphin Grey/Cardinal

The independent shop by me will do a timing belt and water pump for 300-350, and they can do it well.
500 dollars must be if a dealership does it.Comment
