Thanks in advance Just the water pump or the timing belt as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
15729 Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 I dont think either have been done to be honest so might be worth doing them both? What do you think mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert27 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Yes to both. The timing belt drives the water pump so it makes sense to change it at the same time as the belt to save any extra time/labour. Its only £30 for the pump. Ford interval for the timing belt is 125,000 or 10 years but it's known to be over optimistic. Haynes suggests half that mileage i.e. get it changed at 62500. If it snaps, serious engine damage will likely be the result so best to play safe. At a decent indy garage you'll be looking at £300 ish for belt + water pump. I am about to DIY my own cambelt (focus 1.6 tdci) and I'll post the thread I'll be using as my main guide courtesy of @TomsFocus . It's also an idea to have a Haynes handy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
