When buying a timing belt kit there are some questions: Should I replace the water pump at the same time as the timing belt?<\/span><\/p>\n

The water pump is directly adjacent to the timing belt in most engines. Because getting to the timing belt is such a labor-intensive job, it\u2019s a good idea to take this opportunity to replace the water pump at the same time because of the effort required to get down to either one of these items. Besides,<\/span> both of these items tend to have a similar lifetime. <\/b>For this reason, doing this labor-intensive job at the same time is the smart play.<\/span><\/p>\n

But\u2026 What happens If I don\u2019t replace the water pump?<\/span><\/p>\n

Not replacing all the components during a timing belt change means if the water pump does go at a later point, <\/span>you will have to pay for the same labour twic<\/b>e because probably the water pump has worn out because of use anyway, and will need replacing sooner than later.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why at <\/span>Industrias Dolz<\/span><\/a> we always recommend to get both, the timing belt and the water pump, replaced at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n

The advantage of this dual replacement is to<\/span> offer the best long-lasting repair<\/b> while preventing risks of engine breakage. And last, but not least, more savings for your pocket.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see below this <\/span>three things to consider <\/b>when choosing a timing belt and water pump replacement:<\/span><\/p>\n
