Costs of a 1996 Renault Clio Water pump   
Hi,
I've had my wee Renault Clio Oasis 1.2s water pump replaced and after
initially being told that it might cost about £30 for a pump it's
suddenly jumped to £100 (this is just for the pump not labour). I've
no idea how much one might cost in reality but the jump in price caught
me off guard and I was hoping someone here with a bit more knowledge
might be able to comment, I'd hate to think I was being ripped off when
I wasn't.
All the best,
John

You will be ripped off fior Renault spares. Always.

Whether this particular case is an extra ripoff on top of that, I couldn't 
say.

I'll never buy a Renault again!

just a quick check on the PC parts system , pattern water pump costs 21.32
& dreaded tax. and as it won't take more than an hour to fit at say average
35 p.h. you're looking at total of approx 60
