My SV6 is in with Holden getting a new A/C compressor and dryer fitted . I used them because they were cheaper ( $1200 ) than the other place I got a quote ( $1400 )
While it's being done they ring me to tell me my water pump is leaking and ( with a very sad tone ) advise it will cost me $1100
Now I do believe the Allotec pump is harder than the VT one I have previously replaced ? Is it a fair price and can I do it myself?
I have changed the spark plugs on this engine before so I have had the plennum off ( though it feels like a while ago and it's rather vague )
No way should I spend $1100 , am i right?
PS> I see the red coolant leaking myself but it's been like this for some time, not enough to affect temperatures yet.
