The auto shop showed me that the water pump has started leaking and needs to be replaced. But, they also tell me that they recommend that I also change the distributor, since the leakage may have gotten into the distributor due to its location to the water pump. So my options are:
1. Replace distributor
2. Replace only cap & rotor on distributor
3. Do nothing to distributor, until there is a further problem
Obviously the water pump has to be replaced.
Are they being straight with me and should I approve replacing the entire distributor along with the water pump?
They gave me the following estimate of costs:
1. Water pump & Installation $700
2. Cap & rotor (parts only) 350
3. Balance of Distributor (parts only) 300
4. Installation of #2 or #3 parts 170
Are these reasonable or should I do some shopping?
