Default Replacing the timing belt

Hi
Im going to be replacing my timing belt in a couple of weeks and I was wondering if the water pump is belt driven with it. If so I think Im gonna replace the pump too.


Thanks

not driven by the belt but i recommend replacing it anyways while your there

i tried to avoid doing it and naturally the water pump started leaking like 3 months later and the belt got soaked in coolant

once all the covers and belt is off it will take around a half hour to replace it so why not
