Hello, I have a 94 accord LX stock engine, with automatic transmission. Three different shops told me that I need a new water pump. My car overheats when driven for too long and leaks coolant greatly as soon as coolant is added. So I was thinking about purchasing parts from autopartswarehouse.com and I was looking at getting a waterpump from here. I was also told that I need to change the timing belt if the waterpump is going to be changed so I'm thinking of purchasing a timing belt from the website as well. A question I have is if I need a new timing belt, do I need to buy the "timing belt kit" or just the "timing belt". Another question is, are there any recommendations for what brands, or other websites?

Get the gates kit with the water pump. Rockauto or amazon has it.

Oh make sure your leaking coolant from where the water pump is and not the coolant tube that runs behind the motor or somewhere else The coolant hose has 2 o rings on them. If needed get them from dealer. Cheaper then ebay
