Water pump replacement costs

[Nudist]

My golf diesel passed the 100 K mark early last year. The service schedule advises to replace the water pump at this time. The all up charge for replacement the pump and possibly timing belt was close to $1900. Is this in line with other people are paying. The cost of the replacement water pump was about 800- $900. Are there any cheaper alternative sources for water pump apart from a VW genuine part

Is that from a vw dealership?
A independent vw workshop may be able to bring the cost down

If you do it at the same time as the belt, the additional costs are quite small.

Average price range from an independent is around $1200 for the whole lot. Heavily depends on exactly what parts are needed, as some have different pulley setups which can affect the total cost.

I got a quote from the dealer and one other. The dealer was the lower

PM me your details, and I'll see what I can do.

Well, my Caddy Maxi Life had its water pump replaced during its 105 k service and the invoice breakdown shows the VW03L121011PX Water Pump **O.A.R** listed at $127.80 and a VW03L198119F Repair Kit listed at $400.50. I do not know what the repair kit was for.

That's exchange price on the water pump, hence the X at the end of the part number.

The repair kit is the timing belt kit, so the belt, idlers and tensioner, and probably some new fastners for the pulleys too.
