water pumps are about 60-70, pretty easy to replace if you know what you're doing, I found the hardest part was getting the clutch fan off. I'd imagine a mechanic would charge around $200 maybe more.

Just make sure you have a NEW gasket with the NEW pump? Scrape the OLD gasket off and CLEAN the area REALLY good. There is a pipe into the back of the Pump as well, get a NEW O-ring for it (V890066S Genuine Ford part).
One thing, when you drain all that water out and are going to re-fill, put some Coolant back in? best thing for the car all round. |
