it depends who does the job it seems. I have been getting some prices to have mine done & the main dealers have all included the water pump without any prompting from me. However, a couple of independents I asked said they wouldn't normally replace it unless it was in poor condition. I now plan to do the job myself & will replace the pump. Not worth the risk of it failing in my view as it can take the belt with it. |

Did your service included replacement of the transmission oils?( Rear, haldex, IRD and gearbox) |

I hope they also replaced the auxiliary belt as that could take out the cam belt as well and engine. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Best price I've had is £350 from an independent. (Cash price, card is more 😁) |

That's the danger the belts and pulleys, if your doing one thing you have to do them all. No point risking it for the extra couple of quid if the result is an engine rebuild.

Auxiliary belt splits due to being old and frayed (like me) and raps itself around cam belt, cam belt jumps off sprockets so engine timing is now stuffed. Pistons hit the valves and garage hits your wallet. Simples. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years FL2 MY13 TD4 GS Current |

The aux belt is on the outside of the engine, and the cambelt is in behind the cover
