Also how much does a shop charge to fix it?? b/c i'm sick of working on my car for awhile

 

this article from another thread has symptoms at the end of the write-up. What kind of problems you having? Its not hard to change at all, the biggest factor is its messy from the coolant, other than that it can be done very fast. After the waterpump is off, you pull the ballancer and your there. The shops will charge about 200 bucks, give or take a little.
