well, ok, if anyone is still following this- my 1100 tensioner/air pump repair broke down as 540 for the pump, 130 for the tensioner, 50 odd for the idler pulley plus the belt, and roughly 300 in labor.
The only item I can really question is the pump. Yes, they are 270 at ******** or 350ish from Pelican (the gen OEM rebuilt one is 900!) but the car is at a shop, its my driver, and it needed to be done.
So was I robbed? Perhaps-maybe the shop bought a pump for 270 and marked it up to 540. I dunno. Had I the time or inclination to diy it, you can even replace the pump bearing for 50 bucks, but that just wasn't an option in this circumstance.
