So, my water pump is leaking on my 95 LWB Vitara. A mechanic has told me it's not just the seal, but the water pump needs replacing. Any idea how much this would cost, and is it an easy job to replace? |

Replace it and the Timing Belt at the same time if it due to be done or even close |

Thanks - how much for both of these, and how hard/long to fit? |

Local parts dealer wants $80 for the water pump and $120-$140 for the timing belt kit. As per usual, much cheaper on eBay, but not sure of the quality. Reckon I should pay the extra? |

make sure the pump is a GMB and the belt a Gates and youll be apples Given it takes a few hours to do, you only have to do em every 100k and either failing can lead to engine failure its worth spending the extra to get the good parts |

Vitara engines are non-interference arent they? Still, don't want to have to replace it early when an extra $40 could save a few extra hours of work. |

I've tracked down a GMB pump for $59, and a Goodyear belt and GMB bearing in a kit for $79. Pays to shop around! |
