I think the timing belt also rotate the water pump like many car. It is engine belt driven. Water pump that is electrically operated probably in race car only since they need all the engine power to rotate tires 

Normally water pump is changed when there is coolant or water leakage sign through the pump 

Hello everyone,

As my viva mileage already reaching 170km, i will need to change my timing belt soon. Perhaps before it reach 180km.
So i did a survey on the price including labour to change the timing belt.

First shop quote me rm160 + rm80 (labour). He said it is original produa belt.

Second shop quote me rm250 + rm100 (labour). He said it is original perodua belt.

Third shop quote me rm350 in total. He said original perodua belt. He said expensive because all change like bearing. 

Why the price variance is too big?

What is the normal price for standard original viva timing belt?

And normally when we change timing belt, it comes together with bearing all is it?

Thanks.

Ya....but dont need to change together both are different part

If your car still under warranty then better go to perodua service center. Later u kena tipu by bengkel biasa then baru menyesal. Kalau dah habis warranty is different story.

8 years already. Its been 5 years i service car outside. But this is first time change belt outside.

if its 8years

would recommend you change

timing belt
v-belt
water pump
radiator hose ( if got extra budget )
engine mounting ( i believe it's vibrating kao kao already )

What is
Vbelt
Radiator hose
Engine mounting -  is it what some people call tepek?

spoke to perodua sc ,

they quoted rm140+ for the timing belt, and around RM50 for alternator + power stereng + aircond belt, labour charge rm120
in total around rm300++ but not exceeding rm350
fair enough, at least peace of mind because confirm it is original

so i guess i will go to perodua sc for this.

Best is buy the part from workshop and take to mechanic. If you are in Klang Valley I can recommend good mechanics and part shops.

Viva has a tough engine and you only need to service those 'sacrificial' items (bearings, belts, mounting etc).

Water pump no need to change. My Kelisa of 15 years still haven't change water pump. It uses a steel impeller directly driven by the belt so it's very unlikely to fail. Some other manufacturers use plastic impellers so ppl sometimes recommend you change it. Daihatsu doesn't have this issue.

As long as you keep an eye on the car, most hoses only need to change if leaking.

8 years is a good time to change mounting (engine and gearbox) but bear in mind both parts and labour is expensive. Changing them will reduce vibration and improve handling and engine response. In the long-term it also reduces stress to your subframe.

Never change mounting at all. But no vibrations feels so far.
Actually how long the original mounting can stand before it requires to change?

Please recommend me a good mechanic around Klang Valley please.  Thanks in advance.
