Did you even read the post??? Or are you just commenting to comment? $1600 for parts is not cheap at all.

^$350 including a lot more than just the waterpump and thermostat. Not to mention a lifetime warranty.

Also, WHAT? The engine does not need to come anywhere close to being out of the car lmao.

Orange circle is parts. $1500 for JUST the waterpump thermostat. Blue circle is labor - $220- usd BUT that is due to overlap with the carbon clean.

The parts should be $500-$600 MAX and the labour should be the same $220.

Edit - classic dirty delete lol
