Hello,

On this vehicle the water pump replacement requires to have the timing belt removed. So, it is a good idea to replace the timing belt while doing the water pump and vice versa.

It can be a labor-intensive process.

Here is a helpful guide that covers the best practices for water pump replacement:

I have attached diagrams for the replacement of the water pump and timing belt below for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
