I don't know about Toronto, but I had my timing belt and water pump replaced in NY for around $300 or so dollars. The mechanic said that it was wiser to replace the timing belt and water pump at the same time. Hope this helps.

Yep I know I saw on the news

Nothing compared to our weather, but we are having rain all the time...
Replacing a water pump at the same time is not absolutely necessary. However replacing (I don't know the word in English) pulleys (?) that hold the belt not everytime you change the timing belt but let's say once on two is a good thing. (Ihope my English didn't sound like chineese

)

Nico I thought you guys are clever there, because you are some top guys in the EU

Weather is not nice here either, when it's not -30c it's raining snow. First it looked like that winter won't come, and then came that fuc*ing frost. Now it's snowing, weather has something against me, because I have to change icoil in the open. Home garage is about 20km away

We have to tow Camry there with 1.3i Corolla...sucks man.
