I am replacing timing belt for Honda accord 2000 that has only 75000 miles now. Do I replace water pump also?
planning to by from .importrp.com. Any suggestions?

 

might as well since you'll have it apart anyway. just use oem.

 

It's standard practice to replace the water pump with the timing belt, but I know of people that have near and over 300k miles on their original water pumps. It's up to you, but it is standard dealership practice to do the water pump with the timing belt.

 

Thank you, doood and 1998gsrIntegra. I will replace both and will go with oem. Going to order from importrp.com

 

I placed a phone order with Mike from importrp.com. I received it today. That is superfast. I am impressed.

 

Ordered OEM one as it is 45% cheaper compared to the genuine item. Any recommendation on the coolant brand that I have to buy?

 

OEM lol.

 

Drives like new. I guess oem is a good choice

 

use green coolant, do not use orange coolant ever on Honda's. also do a 50/50 mix water/coolant if you buy coolant that is not already 50/50. recommend replacing water pump and tensioner since your already there, also take a look at your crank and cam seals, if they look like they are leaking/seaping recommend to replace those too since you are already there. if you are doing the t-belt yourself and run into problems taking the crank bolt off get the 3/4 inch drive impact gun from harbor frieghts, it will save you time and knuckles.

 

Thanks PraizEK9.
I used Honda supplied coolant and it was replaced by a mechanic. Car is running fine now.

 

Great i am glad to hear your cars back up and running, nothing better than the feeling of having your car back knowing it is in good shape. keep up on your maintenance and it will last you forever.
