Or if the bearing is going the seal will fail soon. Took me & my son about 4-5 hours to do his TD4 pump.
apparently when they did me Aux belts they said there was a leak its not alot hardly notice it but as they were fair with pricing the belts I thought I should get it done along with the thermostat I read somewhere best to do both.
aparently garage says there is a leak its very slight going by water loss which is hardly anything as I have not topped up for quite a while
If you can’t see any leak, and you don’t have any liquid loss, where is the leak ?
Funny you should bring this up, I topped up the resevoir bottle to the full mark-usually have it half way between full and low mark Sunday checked this morning before going out still in the same place checked it 5ish miles later at tesco it has not moved,Now I use to run a garage many moons ago(cavalier mk 2 escorts mk 3 were all the rage) and my Garage mind and my wifeys are wondering if someone is trying to have us over
. I do remember back in the day customers who were not liked would sometimes be sold there own gearboxs back to them when it was only a cv joint also its been sat for a few days and level the same.
exactly our thoughts on the matter, will have to check if they actually changed the belts, can they be viewed from above or should I take off the side of the engine bay cover?
The belts are visible from above with a torch.
morning Nodge and thanks once again,
.does the quote of £867.43 seem realistic for pump and stat housing replacement?? seems a bit much you can probably get a clutch done for that They quoted £470.63 just to do stat housing is that not next to pump? as I said earlier checked again this morning and the coolant level seems to be the same so no leak.No need to go under the car too see the belt. It can be seen when you open the bonnet and you there is a manufacturing date on it
Only the thermostat housing is in plastic. The pump has aluminium housing.
No a quote of nearly £900 for a water pump is expensive, very expensive.
We thought so, probably either do not want this sort of work and if they get the job there quids in.The first garage who did the belts and imagined a water leak. Its seems impossible to find a good local garage. I will go back to using mygarage in Hermitage They are popular is the only problem booking in January at the moment,
I would replace the factory clip with a worm drive clip. The factory bands slacken off as the hose ages, so simply fitting a clip you can tighten will normally solve the issue.
