Hey guys just wondering ive been quoted $388 for the fitting of a water pump + coolant for my AU I forte, now i thought this was reasonable until I saw this on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FORD-FALCON-W...1%7C240%3A1318 Am i getting ripped off or is there really that much labour to justify that kind of price for fitting? Cheers |

To do your water pump you need to remove your radiator, which isnt the easiest of jobs... plus the water pump price... plus power flushing... plus conditioner...
$120ish for labour $50 for parts $15 for flush and pressure test $15 conditioner $200 total... thats a rough qoute if my father or I was doing it... and we'd even pressure test the radiator, pressure clean it and maybe even paint it... Add another $150 and you'd have the radiator fully serviced aswell :P

I have to admit my rims were a good price, Advanti Crypts 18'' with brand new tread for 750. Still $750 haha :P
