FixWater Pump Replacement Cost
What owners actually paid
The shaded middle is where half of all these repairs landed: $294 – $712. The price on any one car depends on the vehicle — the table below shows the range for each.
What this repair is
The water pump circulates coolant through the engine. Failing pumps leak from a weep hole or bearing, often announcing themselves as a coolant puddle or a whine. On many engines the labor to reach it dominates the bill, so belts and nearby parts are usually replaced in the same visit.

What moves the price
- Belt-driven or timing-driven — a pump behind the timing belt is a timing-belt job — the biggest price fork here.
- While it's drained — thermostat and hoses are often renewed.
Quotes near the low end usually mean belt-driven pump in the open, coolant topped up. Quotes near the high end usually mean timing-belt-driven pump (belt job at the same time), thermostat and hoses renewed.
