How many people have done this themselves and how many have gone to a shop to have it done, what was the overall cost for everything. I just got my car out of the shop and it was 370.18 dollars, the water pump, thermostat, timing belt, serpentine belt, tensioner pully, antifreeze and oil change was all done to my car in one working day. IMO thats one hell of a deal.

Yesterday, when I replaced the one that was done last year ( :rolleyes: ) it took me six hours, but cost $96. � Jon Miconi � 96 Contour Zetec ATX � 80 Ramcharger 360 ATX � 77 Ramcharger 440 ATX
