james Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 consider this, if the water pump fails after the timing belt install you will need to redo your work again + more .... make sure the water pump is not making noise basically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Just get a water pump I went to do mine the other week got to the point of taking the belt off and seen pump was leaking so had to put it all back together as couldn't get a pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Defo do water pump and tensioner. For what they cost just do them. Sounds like a common problem leaky water pump. Mine was leaking too when I did my cambelt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
