water pump

[squawk]

Hi all

Noticed yesterday the commodore had a leak under it was a red fluid thought it was power steering fluid, turns out a leaking water pump seal, car has just clicked over 197,000km so i know its general wear and tear,

Has it happened to anyone's cars before? just wanting to know round about how much it may cost, Have it booked in for monday to get fixed


Cheers

got mine done today on my ls1 its a different engine but this is just to give u a rough idea.

I got the water pump for $150 of a forum meber on ls1 but wes quoted $278 from bursons and $320 from repco. The install cost me $170. Dont know about the alloytec but my old man had one done on his vs ecotec and said it only cost him like $200 parts and labour.

I had mine done at about 85,000kms cost me $450. That was after i had been quoted upwards of $600 at another place

did mine at 85,000km too, genuine gm is about 400 odd dollars, i bought an aftermarket for 120 odd, plus genuine coolant, fitted it myself, so i cant tell you what labor costs
