Changing water pump on a Ford Escort 2000 model? Can you think of missing item?

The mechanic told me that I need to purchase a;



new water pump

fan belt kit

3 litres of coolant



and there was 1 more thing, can you think of what else I might need?Changing water pump on a Ford Escort 2000 model? Can you think of missing item?Timing belt and tensioner? Tube of instant gasket? Tools? Water? Haynes Manual? Tea Bags? Beer?



Most of them would be on my list.

Thermostat too.Changing water pump on a Ford Escort 2000 model?

Can you think of missing item?I, too, would change the thermostat and possibly the hoses while you're at it, to save future problems and more down time. Make sure you get the gasket with the water pump (and the 'stat).



You might also take the opportunity to flush out the cooling system before refilling.
