    Which engine? Pumps when bought from an indepenant supplier such as GSF or Otto are pretty cheap as a rule.

    The labour costs would be much greater.

    to give you an idea a spurious water pump for a BMW M50 engine from GSF is about €40.... from a dealer i'd guess you'd be looking at €70 for the pump... :(

    I guess the cost of changing it depends on where it is located, does anyone know if it's behind the timing belt? Is this another BMW plastic impeller?? :confused:

    I paid 100 euro for a water pump for a 04 passat tdi. On a side note I paid 215 for the timing belt.

    And these were from an independant motor factors.

    Were these prices a little high for this car anyone??

    Sorry for dragging up an old thread but I too have a 1.6 mini cooper and the water pump is gone.

    Can anyone recommend a good reputable garage or independent person who I can get to fit a new pump for a reasonable price?

    Thanks

    No need to drag up old threads. Just start a new one. this is 6 years old.
