New to the forums Just bought a 3sge G limited few questions?

~cdub~ · 03-16-2009, 09:18 PM

Okay so I picked up a 91 MR2 Glimited from japan and it has a 3sge in it. It had 110k on it when I picked it up now it has 120k and I want to do a good servicing and maintenance on it and have noticed a few issues I would like to get fixed.

For the 120k maintence I plan on replacing the water pump timing belt and the clutch.

1.Now i realize i can use quite a few parts off of the 3SGE but can't quite confirm that the waterpumps are the same. Someone gave me this part number 1610079126 can anyone confirm that this pump will work on the 3sge?

2. What kinda time should i be expecting the shop to charge me for labour for the timing belt+waterpump and clutch job?

3.Any other things i should order parts for before hand while there doing this work.

You want to do the Pulleys aswell id say. They arnt that expensive (Idle and tensioner pulley)
Well it took me a mate 10 hours to do it, but I think the usual time is about 7 hoursish.
Its not a cheap job, assuming you can find a mechanic that will do it. Ask if they have done one on these cars before because if they have it'll be a lot faster than them trying to learn how.
