AI caption · Photo 2668 of 2796

This document is a screenshot of a professional labor time guide (flat-rate estimating software) showing labor times for the procedure 'WATER PUMP – Remove & Replace.' The table lists three engine/drivetrain applications, each with a skill level, standard labor time, and warranty labor time. For a Normally Aspirated FWD application, skill level B, labor is 9.7 hours (8.2 warranty hours). For a Normally Aspirated AWD application, skill level B, labor is also 9.7 hours (8.2 warranty hours). For a Twin Turbocharger application, skill level B, labor is 10.5 hours (8.9 warranty hours). All three entries note the operation 'Includes: R&I Camshaft Drive Chain,' meaning the timing/camshaft drive chain must be removed and installed as part of the water pump replacement — explaining the very high labor times. Below the table an estimate footer shows Labor: $0.00, Parts: $0.00, Subtotal: $0.00 (no estimate lines added). The document does not identify a specific vehicle make, model, or year on-screen, but the applications listed (FWD/AWD, normally aspirated vs. twin turbo) indicate a chain-driven water pump engine design where the pump sits behind the timing chain.
