A Honda timing belt is suppose to be replaced every 90,000 miles but is it necessary to replace the water pump at the same time? How long will a water pump last? I never had a water pump fail on any Honda I have owned. Of course that is probably because I always had it replaced with the timing belt?
your there,cheap insurance,is it neccessary,no but that would be insane.
Thats why you havent had one fail. have to remove pump anyway.
Its not necessary but still you should replace both at regular intervals as prevention is better than cure, To know more, you can call at (204) 275-9256 or visit the link:
It is remarkably frustrating to pay for timing belt replacement then to have to pay for timing belt replacement plus water pump. If the cooling system has only had the proper Honda coolant and distilled water (or premix) replaced on schedule the odds are with you; if not... not. I learned the hard way that conventional green coolant attacks the water pump seal (first source). Really, it is your choice. However, be aware that water pump seizure is not all that uncommon. A friend of the family had a Ford that had a seized water pump when it was 4 years old - the car was out of warranty but still had a year of payments to go. It was a 90-something Escort with an interference engine and she had to replace the engine because the fragments of the valve seats ruined the pistons and cylinder walls. When I was active in Volvo forums a member had a water pump seize a few months after the timing belt was changed and it did $6000 damage. Your choice, but I always change the pump.
