1998 Honda Accord mileage: 102,000. I took my car in for a tune up and the mechanic said the water pump needs to be replaced when the mileage is more than 100,000. Is that necessary even though the water pump is fine? Will it cause any problems if I don't change it?

If the pump is not leaking, there would be no need to change it, unless a timing belt is needed. We change the water pump on Honda's when we change the timing belt because the timing belt has to be removed to change the pump. We recommend changing the timing belt every 60,000 miles. If your timing belt has never been changed, both the belt and the pump should be changed.
