Re: Water Pump - 11 Hours and $2000?
Yep, the dealer is correct in saying it's a big job and the service manual shows that the only way to get the water pump out is to remove the engine block
I guess that's how Nissan make their money by making a simple maintenance task so difficult.
No need to worry about timing belts mate, you don't have any. All X-Trails have a timing chain instead and it doesn't need to be replaced.

Re: Water Pump - 11 Hours and $2000?
Looking at the diagram I would say the only reason to need engine removal is if there is not enough room between the engine and a body part inside the engine compartment to pull the water pump out of its housing.
Maybe look at this clearance yourself and ask to measure the length of a new water pump to see if there is room and then see another mechanic to ask his views.

Re:
Yeah, that one is definitely a BELT, not a chain
