Water pump 2001 V.W. Jetta --how many hours to fix it?

We need to change the water pump on a 2001 VW Jetta. What is involved to do this; i.e., how many hours? What is the difficult part of doing this? Is there a regular table that figures the hours allowed to do it. I ask because we need a rough idea how much it will cost when we bring it in. And is there a difference in cost between the dealer's mechanic or other mechanic?Water pump 2001 V.W.

The difference between prices between dealerships %26amp; independent mechanics are:

1. Labor rates

2. Parts prices. Some independent mechanic may buy direct from the dealership. Others buy the equivalent part from the Original Equipment Manufacturer



A lot of independent mechanics will recommend to use a water pump with a metal alloy impeller, vs the Original Equipment water pump which uses a plastic impellerWater pump 2001 V.W.
