The mechanic told me that I need to purchase a;
new water pump
fan belt kit
3 litres of coolant
and there was 1 more thing, can you think of what else I might need?|||Timing belt and tensioner? Tube of instant gasket? Tools? Water? Haynes Manual? Tea Bags? Beer?
Most of them would be on my list.
Except the tea bags!|||timing belt|||WP gasket?|||thermostat and gasket if you are going in as far as the water pump, do it all while you are in there, beats doing it all over needlessly|||Neva done 1 on a ford escort really
BUT A TIMING BELT AND MAYBE AN ALTERNATOR BELT DEPENDANT on the setup and maybe you%26#039;l get some seals with it, also mostimes a gasket!|||wate rpump gasket and thermostat|||Change the coolant hoses while you are at it. Thermostat too.|||A timing belt tensioner is always suggested also when the belt is being replaced|||I, too, would change the thermostat and possibly the hoses while you%26#039;re at it, to save future problems and more down time. Make sure you get the gasket with the water pump (and the %26#039;stat).
You might also take the opportunity to flush out the cooling system before refilling.
