Water pump
Water pump
I've asked some people around about this. I need to change the cambelt in couple of days and I was just wondering if the waterpump can be changed at at a later date without removing the cambelt. Given the fact that the waterpump is not driven by the timing belt it looks quite possible to be doable but I am not sure. I want to change everything (3 belt and radiator hoses) What you guys think?

The online workshop manual procedure for removing the water pump, here, says to remove the timing belt first. I can only assume it's necessary, but I haven't actually tried it myself to know for sure.

The cambelt needs to be removed to replace waterpump
For the cost of a pump replace it at the sametime as a cambelt.
I thought it was standard practice to replace the water pump and cam belt at the same time anyway?
Waterpump can be changed without removing the cambelt- I've done this with my IS200.
