I just wanted to know is if it’s normal to have a water pump leaking at only 66200 miles?
If it's leaking, it's leaking and needs to be replaced. The timing chain replacement is a bogus dealership rip off. Chains are usually good for 100-150,000 miles before replacement. $530 to replace a water pump is Highway Robbery. It is a $50 part and an hour's labor at the most. Find an honest, independent mechanic. Tell him/her you are going to be a regular customer for your services. Establish a relationship. You'll be glad you did.
More normal than it used to be
Hey Scotty thank you so much for responding. Also the Toyota dealer is charging $530 to replace it and while they’re in there they also want to replace the timing belt. What do you think?
@Mrpsychopath11 this is why you should never go to the dealer for services, especially now that the warranty is up. Find a good, honest, independent mechanic to replace the water pump.
Doesn’t your Camry have a chain?
Yea you’re right it is a timing chain. I still feel like their quoting way to much to get the water pump replaced though.
There’s a reason they’re called stealerships.. Why don’t you find an honest independent mechanic (like Scotty) in your area, and have them give you a quote? Ask around your friends & family for references..
If you live in one of the cities mentioned in the link, you can have them give you a fair estimate - https://carkiller.com/scottykilmer/qa/mechanics/
