Im going to change my timing belt for the second time in the next few weeks. I've gotten a few estimates and all of them suggest or include changing my water pump.
I changed my water pump the last time I changed my timing belt at 130,000K.
Is it really necessary to change this part when I change my timing belt? I've been told they do this as a precausionary measure, but I don't want to spend $125.00 on this part if I don't have too.
Also if I don't change it, would my current water pump last me till my next timing belt change.
Thank you in advance for your response.
