It would be wise to do so, since you have to remove the timing belt et. al. to change the water pump. If you have to take one off,you might as well do both at the same time. If you're brave enough to take on a timing belt, then you might as well replace the water pump. It's 10 years old, so it's questionable how much it's got left.

How to replace a Xc90 timing belt?

This can be a complicated procedure and varies depending on the engine variant. Is it a 5 or 6 cylinder? Does it have intake or exhaust valve timing or both? The timing belt tensioner pulley should also be replaced when replacing the timing belt. The 6 cylinder engine should also have the termostat replaced as well when replacing the timing belt. I may be able to provide detailed instructions if I knew the engine size and year of the vehicle. Also turbo or non turbo.
