How much is to change water pump, thermostat and radiator in 2001 Passat 1.8T? Thanks.?

Get estimates from at least three repair shops. Prices vary from place to place.How much is to change water pump, thermostat and radiator in 2001 Passat 1.8T? Thanks.?Kind of unusual to need a radiator on a Passat. Water pumps are a real problem on VW. Most shops will want to change out the T-belt when replacing the pump. Typical price for T-belt, water pump, job runs in the $800 to $1000 range. That would include the oil seals and antifreeze. Thermostats do go bad, radiators can go bad, but if you are just having an overheat issue, they may not be necessary.
