It should not be, the last time I checked they were about £35.00 they are done on a replacement basis for your current pump. IIRC the price you have put is what you would pay of the old pump is not recycled.

Sounds like a p!ss take to me :mad:

I was told only certain  type of water pumps require replacing at a certain age or mileage.
Something like ones Plastic impeller and the other earlier type wasn't?

Aye plastic impeller ones. They have now been changed to steel impellers to resolve the issue with the blades braking off and going into the block lol!

The main reason for changing them now is the bearings and the seals as they break down over time.

Get their price down, I got VW to do mine when doing the cambelt for £299 they charged me £39 for the water pump part but no labour. So £338 all in.
