timing belt and water pump

timing belt and water pump

Postby calixt0 » Fri Jan 20, 2006 5:24 pm

Hello all,

I searched and found all kinds of info but not what i was looking for. I see most people are recommending the water pump when the timing belt is replaced just because its cheaper. My question is how many havn't and needed the water pump replaced within a year or two. My thoughts are 90,000 miles for a water pump isn't much.

My stand it isn't really cheaper if it doesn't need to be replaced. If it really is time I will get it done.

Thanks
Shaun

water pump dies, engine overheats, timing belt shreds due to locked up pump, MAJOR PROBLEMS for your motor. just get it done on schedule if you want your motor to last a long time.

yea my dad got screwed by our toyota dealer with his 99 camry they gave him the whole " oh your water pump looks fine so we didnt replace it we only replaced your timing belt" because they want him to go back and give them a buttload of money to fix everything once it does go.. i am going to make damn sure they replace it while they are in there
