Quite correct Jules - I just googled the part number and all results showed "with pump". Well worth the mystery shopper approach though. |

So have discussed the issue with the garage. They have apologised for the mistake and have offered to take the car back for a refund.

Apologises are worthless without action.

The issue I have is that the water pump is not a service item, nor was it due to be changed even if it was. My only argument is that I was told it was done and it was not. They have followed the rules and offered me a refund.

You're quite right, it's best practice to replace the pump, but not essential.

Not so long ago ( or was it) I remember the general recommendation for a water pump change was every second belt, the belts were changed at 60,000 miles. I wonder if a pump were to fail what would be the warning signs a leaky shaft seal, noise maybe. Personally I wouldn't risk it but there again I would do the work myself. |

I think you would struggle to find a professional workshop to replace the water pump without replacing the timing belt and offer any sort of warranty on their work. |

Usually a pump will leak a bit before catastrophic failure. That's in general, no experience with the TD4. |
