The Timing of Change

It is always tempting to make changes at the beginning of the year. After all, it seems like a logical time to think about doing something different. But is that really the case? Sure, we can all think of things we would like to change about our lives, but is the beginning of the year the time to make those changes?

  2. I can’t recommend any shops for you, too far away.

    Ask family or friends for good repairers.

    The belt can be purchased as a kit, with seals and tensioner included. The kit will cost about $250.

    The waterpump will cost about $200 for a genuine unit, or about $100 for an aftermarket one.

    Just add 5 hours of labour ( at whatever rate ), and the cost of coolant.

    This is a rough guide for a V6 engine Magna

  4. Depends on if your engine is the 4 or 6 cylinder model.
    The V6 will cost more as you have twice as many cams to time and the water pump sits deep in the engine valley.
