i have changed my timing belt last week with all the tensioners but not the water pump.
my car has done 32000 mile and it is 5 years old (renault megane 2003 1.6)
the belt on this car should be changed each 72000 miles or 5 year and i decide to change it because it was due .
would u think that water pump would still work or soon it will become faulty?Should i change the water pump with the timing belt?Well, if you have the money go ahead...I am sure the pump would be a bit easier to replace with the belt off...but honestly there is no need. The water pump should easily last over 100,000 miles if you keep your antifreeze clean and you will be due for a new belt when the pump goes out anyway. Good luck with the belt change and have a good one!Should i change the water pump with the timing belt?change it just to be safeShould i change the water pump with the timing belt?If you are already going to have it tore down that far, you might as well while you are at it. Otherwise, you'll have to strip the thing down to change it later.Should i change the water pump with the timing belt?water pumps usually last for awhile 85,000 plus.. i have a 99 accord with 155,000 and still on the same factory water pump with no problems but then again i usually put about 600 miles a month
