Alltrack water pump

[heemon]

Hi guys. I've got myself a 2014 Alltrack with a water pump leak. After some advice on recommended parts and approximate costs. I've found a Gates kit #KP25649XS-1 for $600 which I can handle but my current mechanic is claiming that VW have told them 8-10 hours labour to install which seems a bit excessive to me. Curious as to what others have paid to have their water pump/timing belts replaced and approximately how long it took as I suspect my mechanic is trying to bend me over.

Not sure on the engine in the alltrack. If it's a gen 3 then it's worth trying VW for a good will fix. (1.8 with IS12 turbo) post up your engine code which will help with getting the correct information.

Hi

Done timing belt and water pump replacement after my pump gone on 95k. After 1250$ and all day work i got my car. They took engine out in order to replace all parts. Demanding and not easy job at all.

They didnt take engine out to do my B7 but cost approx the same as belt, pump and 105k service was $1513

I would be amazed if they took the engine out as is a pretty big job on its own

I wonder how they replaced taming belt and water pump without taking engine out. Water pump is not accessible at all. Timing belt alone is big job. Someone correct me if i wrong...

Well according to the workshop manual I have for the Passat B7 You remove some inner guard covers, the grooved belt, the timing cover and belt and undo 3 bolts and the water pump is sort of top left on front of block Best described as the top nearest pulley to the front of the vehicle
