Hello
How much should I expect to pay to have the cambelt replaced on my 2004 Holden Astra?
Is there any need to replace the water pump?

Hi there,
The water pump is usually replaced at the same time as a cambelt as there is a high chance of leakage after a belt is replaced. Most water pumps are driven by the cambelt and it usually is quoted with the second cambelt replacement interval.
Price for replacement will vary from centre to centre and depends on the parts used, genuine vs aftermarket.
An AA Auto Centre will be best to give you an accurate price. http://locations.aa.co.nz/aa-auto-service-repair
