FWIW the water pump is internal and ran off the timing chain on the G37, so much more work involved getting to it than a M56Malbec 56 Beast wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 1:29 amThe water pump went out on our G37xS and I was quoted $2750 at Infiniti, that's right $2750.

Who and the hell said they'd do it for that much, either I got F**ked or the guy who quoted you has no clue. So it before they come to their senses.

Nissan engineering strikes again. Who are these people and why do they suck so bad.LIBRILZ wrote: ↑Fri Dec 28, 2018 9:34 amFWIW the water pump is internal and ran off the timing chain on the G37, so much more work involved getting to it than a M56Malbec 56 Beast wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 1:29 amThe water pump went out on our G37xS and I was quoted $2750 at Infiniti, that's right $2750.

Well 1750 to do a water pump on a G37 is pricey imo. I would do it myself as it is not that hard, you have to remove the front bumper and everything in front of the engine but the timing cover nor the accessories need to come off.There are plates on the timing covers that allow that stuff to be worked on. Now if you jump a tooth in the process of doing the water pump (pretty easy if you don't watch your slack in the chain), then you're certainly going to make the job take a lot longer and are going to have to pull the timing covers and all the accessories...that would make it a 1800 job imo!Ilya wrote: ↑Fri Dec 28, 2018 9:42 amNissan engineering strikes again.

Water pump internal to the timing chain cover? LOL.
Have to remove the bumper to change an HID ballast? LOLOL.
Have to pull the motor to change the catalytic converts on an M56x? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
F'in engineers. If they had to repair it they'd build it differently.
