I had a cambelt fitted about 10 months ago and the garage didn't do the water pump as they said they tested it and it didn't need doing. As always the ba**hard went about a month ago and they fitted a new one at a reduced rate for me.

Now the car has a water leak on the housing which the water pump fits too. This can only be ordered from peugeot and I'm guessing it is expensive. They have said it will cost another £340 to sort this out. Its a bit suspicious that what has gone is connected does this seem strange to anybody else?

Also that price includes a new CV joint and fitting and VAT

Thanks

Is it the housing or the pipe that goes into the housing? It might just be the seal between the two.

When my cambelt and water pump were changed last year the housing was cracked. The garage showed me it when I picked it up and with them removing the water pump a chunk had broken off but there were other cracks too. They reckoned it was probably due to it being sat under the exhaust manifold and the constant heat cycles it was put through. They didn't break down the costs of parts on the bill but it didn't add much to the total.

I keep thinking about my water pump, I hit 100k now and had cambelt changed 84k and they didn't change the pump!! They said it needs to be changed every second cambelt change, can I expect it to last that long.

Keeping a good coolant mix will help.

Its the housing. They said that the CV boot has a split in it and the housing is directly above the CV boot and they think whatever has caused that has f**ked the housing as well. I feel ripped off as I've already spent more than enough on them fixing the pump itself. Going to get another garage to look at it and give me a second opinion and a quote.
