Correct...100,000ks is time for water pump and air condition belt/clutch, this is consistant with mileage...if its a auto do a oil change and filter too.The old pump is on exchange from VW with a new pump ...again normal.....you can buy them outright BUT why would you?..after market pumps are available at about $300 outright...takes about 1.5- 2 hrs to do the job...personally I dont think this is excessive....sounds to be on the money.

Yeah, yeah, good advice.......but when are you going to do MINE, Steve?
