OK, I am going to replace my water pump next week.

I am looking for any information I can find on the job but my Bentley is useless and I do not see anything here on-line.

The pumps range from about $60 to $200 at the local parts store.

Questions:

Does anyone have a negative experience with any reman or new manufacturer pump?

Does anyone know of a good DIY?

Beside the pump, fluid, hoses, belt, and thermostat, can anyone suggest other parts that should be replaced?
