Have you ever wondered why a timing belt and water pump needs to be replaced together? It is also recommended by the manufacturer. Here is why:

The water pump is designed as a cooling system component in charge of preventing the engine from overheating, and in most engines, it is driven by the timing belt and it derives its power from the crankshaft of the engine. This means that if the timing belt is in bad condition, the water pump will start to malfunction sooner than later.

You can also save labour costs when replacing these parts simultaneously, because whenever you replace the belt, you must remove the water pump to get to the timing belt.

Another reason why it is wise to replace the water pump with the timing belt is because of water pump seizure. Because of the timing belt that runs through the water pump it’s at risk should something go wrong with the water pump. When the water pump seizes, the gears stop turning with a strong force that will almost always break the timing belt and leaving you with bigger engine damage.
