so my friends going to check out a car 99 3.2 tl I just wanted to know how much the timing and waterpump cost are at a dealer? the seller is pretty firm on his price so maybe if we tell him the cost at a dealer he might lower the price the car has 220km one owner he has all recipts and asking $4900 and he told us timing has to be done and that parts are cheap and so on

I got my timing belt and water pump done for $450 at a shop. The parts are oem as well.

the parts are about 400-500, labor is several HOURS at nearly $100 or more per hour at most shops- in the states it runs from 800 at private shops to 1300+ at dealerships

Plan on replacing all the pullies and belts on the job to do it right- 1500$
Oh and valve adjustment too, add $200 with main job

wow guy! whats the labor rate in Co?

01tl4tl

there is a big differance between a complete 105k miles service, and just replacing the timing belt and water pump
The 105 is a full fluid change and new spark plugs etc along with the belt

Im guessing the car for sale needs everything so thats the prices I stated-- based on ziners reports here

what about calling a shop and the dealer near you? get the actual local price?

OK, I'll take a shot, but you might just call a local dealer and ask.
The job at an Acura dealer might run $1200-$1400. Might be a bit less at a Honda dealer.
I'd guess an independent shop might be $600-$800 with non OEM parts.
Buy OEM parts yourself and the required parts might run $275-$400. Then you need to find someone to install them.
Search timing belt in this forum for more info.
You say the car has 220km on it so I might guess the car is not located in the US. Outside the US prices might vary significantly.
Hope this helps

Fuck acura stealerships they charged me the ol' dirty $30 to replace wipers

Didn't you ask the price first?? If you didn't want to pay it just do it yourself (wipers aren't hard to replace) or go elsewhere.

Hehe, TBH I really don't know. My uncle knew the shop owner and he is really cool. He put in my tranny for only $200 in labor.

My brother-in-law and I just replaced the water pump and all the belts in my 02. It was a bit of a bear to do, but it can be done yourself if you have someone that knows a little bit about cars and you offer free beer and pizza...I believe my Acura dealership mentioned something along the $1400 price tag with a fluid flush. I paid $400 for everything from a guy on ebay that used OEM parts. I got some help from one of the members here, a DIY here, and the service manual. All and all, not the worst thing you can do, but my brother-in-law doesn't want anything to do with getting under my TL's hood again lol.

$1150 at my dealer in the DC/NoVA area (Pohanka). Replaced the belts, tensioners, water pump, and drained/filled the radiator. Not sure if it is the best deal or not, but seemed to be along the lines of what others have paid at the dealership.

my dealer priced my 105 service at the $950 range.

a honda/acura import shop quoted me $450 for the same job with OEM parts
