Alloytec 190 Water Pump cost

[Fu Manchu]

I would like to see you replace a water pump on an Audi RS4 in an hour.

At stealerships the mechanic likely does the job in less than an hour. The issue is It's not the mechanic doing the quote at the dealerships it's the service reps.

Try undoing a 12mm bolt anywhere on an R8 in under an hour. 2 or 3 years to find a dropped 10mm socket. I’m amazed anything can even be fixed on them.

Are you sure it is the water pump that is leaking? Very common for the filler neck tube "O" rings to fail and these are cheap and relatively easy to replace. Close inspection of the source of the leak is recommended - to be sure, to be sure.

I’m still floored that someone could charge that much for a water pump to go in. That’s some level 11 trippin balls.
