a long time to get to it--If you have done some before then you may not have a problem--you pretty much have to get to the timing belt to get to the water pump so they are usually done at the same time--the turbos are a real pain to change which is one reason I settled for a non-turbo (butI'm on the lookout for a clean turbo)--If you take your time and follow the instructions in the FAQ then you shouldn't have much trouble with the t-belt---Good Luck!
