My 2008 Kluger water pump went at 95000 and was quoted $2000.00 usual story engine needs to come out. However my mate did it in approx 3 hours(licenced mechanic) without removing the engine. Yes it was tight but he had the right tools. He also got the pump at trade price which was $180.00 i was quoted $700 for part. Guess i was lucky he had a go. Toyota know the engine doesnt need removing but i guess it makes it easier for the apprentice they pay $15 an hour.
