if your milage is at or over 60,000 your belt should be replaced.The water pump as a norm is not regulated by milage and may give continual service indefinatly,however the 70.00 price tag over the 600.00 labor to replace(and seeing as how for the most part the water pump forgoes the timing belt and all say if replaceing the water pump definitely replace the T. belt)I'd recommend doing both and resting assured.
i would change it when i change the timing belt, about every 70,000 miles
it is a timing belt and it is quite simple to change.if the belt needs to be changed, go ahead and change the water pump.trust me!!!
should be changed at 60000 miles along with the water pump and belt tensioners
It depends on the motor..if you have overhead cam...then YES. The timing belt has to be removed when the water pump is changed and the cam sprockets have to be set to correct timing when the belt is replaced.
no you do not have to change the timing chain when changing the water pump.
It has a timing belt that should be changed every 60,000 miles. It is recommended that the water pump be changed with the timing belt.
You should have the timing belt changed between 90-100K miles. When you are having the belt changed you should also change the water pump rollers. I had this done on my 2001, the total cast was $950.00
dont know if this helps but i have a 2000 sephia and just had timing belt changed yesterday. on the 2000 they change the water pump with the belt. cost us four fifty for both. dont know if this helps but i have a 2000 sephia and just had timing belt changed yesterday. on the 2000 they change the water pump with the belt. cost us four fifty for both.
I have just purchased a 2nd hand Octavia 2.0L Combi, model year 2006is, it has run approximately 96k km. My question is when is the appropriate schedule to change the timing belt, and is the Octavia like any other car i.e. when you changed the timing belt then it is wise to change the water cooling pump as well. What about the pulley and tensioner shouldn't it be changed together? Change the belt every 90,000 miles. If the belt drives the water pump also change it at the same time. You do not have to pulley or tension unless it is defective.
It is most likely the water pump...If you change the pump also change the timing belt and the timing belt tension pully! I just changed all that in mine and now it runs at normal temps.
Change it every 90,000 miles and also replace the water pump which is driven by the cam belt.
The 2UZ-FE motor does not have a timing chain but a timing belt and it should be changed between 90k and 100k miles along with the water pump.
