Dodge Repair: 2003 dodge stratus se water pump, timming belt, dodge stratus


Question
what all do i really have to have done to get a water pump on. Midas says i will need a tesioner belt,timing belt,flush, and something about a tesioner kit, as well as the acutal pump, they say 800 bucks!!! So can the water pump just be put on and then come back to get that other stuff like a month later. or something

Answer
nope. The timming belt will haft to come off inorder to get the pump out. They say to put all that stuff on because if they go bad because of them having to remove them well wont u be mad because u will haft to spend more money to have them go back in the same place and do most of the same work again and U WILL HAFT TO PAY FOR IT not them because u declined the replacement of those items.
