It calls for 2.0 hours labor. As far as parts, aftermarket should be around 50.00; however, a shop will charge retail which will be over 100.00 for the pump, plus coolant, and the thermostat.

Aprox parts 175.00 + 2 hours labor x their labor rate.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.
