How much time/money to replace the radiator & water pump?

For my 2000 Mazda 626 i4, I know the radiator is about $140 and the pump $60, so I'm wondering about the labor.

How long should it take a professional mechanic to do?

(besides the usual draining, seals, gaskets and all, also need to remove the drivebelts in this models.)How much time/money to replace the radiator %26amp; water pump?Around 2 hours is the recommended charging time for this repair.



Most garages make their money on the product. Their buying price can be around 1/3rd. off retail price (sometimes more). What you are paying is TOP WHACK. We have a Mazda dealership. Our recc. price is $100 and $38 for the items mentioned..........and we make a profit. Many Mazda dealers operate an exchange scheme.... a recon. part for your old unit. This is much cheaper......and they are guaranteed.



If your garage is charging more....... WALK AWAY.How much time/money to replace the radiator %26amp; water pump?200.00 and 2 hoursHow much time/money to replace the radiator %26amp; water pump?2 - 2.5 hours and it would be like $110How much time/money to replace the radiator %26amp; water pump?it should take about 2 hours
