i need to replace my timing belt and drive belts. i had an oil leak on the left side of my valve cover and now both belts are a bit oil-soaked (and could use the maintainence, regardless) I also need a new water pump because mine is leaking anti-freeze...
now I dont plan on doing the work myself, but the shop i brought my car to wants to charge me $500 for parts and labor to replace the water pump and 2 belts...now after looking on this site here i found 2 different water pumps (both part #G3000-21802) one for $62 and another for $46...the one for $46 says its GMB, the one for $62 doesnt list its brand...and the mechanic wants to charge me $105 for a water pump...so my first question is what is the difference between the 2 on this site for a water pump for a '94 sohc pro...
also, the mechanic wants to charge me $50 a piece for the timing belt and drive belt...on the mazdapartstore website i can find the timing belt for about the same price..$50..but the drive belt(s) i can find for about $20...however ther are like 6 or 7 different drive belts and i have no idea which one i should get..
there are v-shaped and multi-ribbed drive belts and all sorts of different brands...if someone could point out the difference between a belt w/ps and w/o ps is i would be much appreciative..or if you could tell me what part # i needed that would work too...
thanks for the help guys.
