Dealers, can't live with them, can't live without them. Had I been doing the water pump etc. out of pocket I would not have been near the dealer. I have seen some here report a bill in the order of $1600 for the water pump, belts, t'stat/housing.
They used a $49.95 reman water pump so it will be getting pulled and replaced with the Bavarian upgrade pump at sdome stage.
