Wondering if anyone knows the expected life of the water pump on these engines. Coming up to 100k miles and will need to do the timing belt soon.
What are the chances the water pump will last until 200k miles when the timing belt needs to be done next? Would it be worth doing the water pump now since it's all apart? thanks.

 

A quick google search says the part is between $40-60 dollars and the labor is $250-350. Assuming you can avoid most of that labor by paying for a $60 part now I wouldn't chance it even if it might last until 200k.
