to change the water pump or not to change the water pump that is the question. @92000 mi i decided to change the belt. surprisingly it was in perfect condition. the water pump feels the same as the new one. do i put out the $94(dealer cost) and change the pump or do i risk having to fight the crank shaft pulley bolt again?

 

Just change it. Could save you from an inconvenient breakdown and an engine overheat that could potentially destroy the engine.

 

yeah, when you change your timing belt, go and change the water pump since everything is apart and its easy to get to. like ron said, it could potentially save you alot of headaches in the future

 

its $25 for a reman at autozone with lifetime warranty
