At ClickMechanic, our quote engine automatically includes the water pump if it is driven by the timing belt. This ensures that the replacement follows manufacturer recommendations and prevents future failures.

• If the water pump is driven by the timing belt: It will automatically be included in your quote.

• If the water pump is independent of the timing belt: It is not required and will not be included in the standard quote.

• If you wish to replace an independent water pump for maintenance reasons, you can request it as an additional service.
