I was driving locally and noticed the car was overheating very quick. The car normally doesn't have this problem, it just happened literally overnight. It went to the red section, so I called out my RACQ and they said its the water pump and that I need it replaced. They said it would cost around $400. I asked a local mechanic, they said I would need the timing belt changed at the same time. Two questions is. 1. Could I change the water pump myself? 2. If it needs a timing belt too, can I do that myself also? With getting the timing belt changed as well, it will cost $780, the car was brought for $500. Sad to say I am a woman, this is why I want to know if its something I could attempt at home. Thank you.
