Water Pump Change Interval??

[Erni902]

Hi guys, quick question.

Is there a stipulated interval for changing the water pump? Basically I am going to be changing the cambelt, ps and alt belts etc in the new year and was wondering if I should change the water pump too. I know it makes sense as I will be down that neck of the woods anyway but I only changed the water pump for brand new last year (around 20,000 miles ago)

What do you guys think? Any help/advice welcomed

I have seen a couple of Mitsubishi UK invoices that suggest they change it on every 2nd cam belt change.

I guess it is your choice. If it was my car I probably wouldn't change it again so soon.

Cheers Nick, I did think it might be a bit of a waste of 40 bucks seen as it wasnt done long ago. Just the rest of the belts and stuff this time round then.

Cheers dude
