I know this info is probably out there somewhere but I'm in the middle of ordering a ton of parts and need to know the general amount it'll cost to have the timing belt/water pump changed. If I can get some quick responses that would be sweet. Thanks!

 

somewhere around 600 for parts and 600 for labor. would guess around 1200 for the entire job if you have a shop do it.

 

i paid 750 for parts and labor, and that included timing belt, tensioner, pulleys, and water pump. all oem parts from mitsubishi. the shop i went to was able to get me a 23-26% discount from mitsu? alot better then payin well over a 1000$, im in OHIO which is rather close to NY, so if u want contact IPS Motorsports and see if they could possibly send u the parts at the discounted prices

 

Any suggestions on which belt to get?

 

I like to stick with all OEM parts like belts.

Don't forget to include drivetrain fluids and coolant, etc

Also, around $600 in parts and $600-700 in labor. Call local shops near you like STM for more accurate pricing. I definitely recommend them.

 

I paid 785 for a shop to do it for everything parts and labor all oem Mitsubishi parts

 

oem or gates belt

 

The VIII timing kit is 458 shipped from mitsubishiparts.net right now. Should be 200- 300 labor depending on shop just to do the timing components.

Add coolant, serp belt, etc...

 

Should not be over $1000 (USA) in parts + labor if they are just doing the simple and basic 60k maintenance. just under 500 for parts. 200-400 in labor

 

i did mine myself and all in all with a new waterpump cost me about $300

 

if the shop knws wat they r doing the job takes between 4-5 hours, its definetly not a quick job by ne means, but it is def sumthin that needs to b dne

 

^ don't forget to add the cost of all the drivretrain fluids. Probably another 100 or so..

I need to purchase all these parts myself and am in a great debate.. I am probably going to order the OEM timing kit less the water pump with Gates belts and I will probably get the Gates water pump that costs about a quarter less then the OEM pump...

 

what parts did you end up using for 300$ ?

 

Do tell your secrets.

 

i dont mean to jack up the thread, I have an 06 MR with just 47K miles about 6 years old. should I just wait to reach 60K miles or go ahead and do the maintenance?
