    repairpal estimator link states $265 to $408 for water pump, gasket, coolant, clamps and labor. Looks to be about 2.5 hours but need to add in cost of hose and the additional labor and possible more clamps-hose is rubber and not metal-if has metal housing causing problems then price will go up from there. The estimate will vary depending on where you live. Need to add in taxes, disposal fees, diagnostics, etc.
