[quote:1217a67e36="vero"]hello - I need to change a solenoid due to check engine code P0442 and I'm told to also change the timing belt. Should the water pump also be changed or can it last for a while ? - last year, check engine code P1137 = replacement of oxygen sensor - Is it worth making the repairs on that type of car or better to get rid of it? Thanks for input![/quote:1217a67e36]
Hello Vero...
P0442 Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (small leak)
About the Timing chain...
The water pump its drive it by the timing belt and I recommend you to replace it at the same time (new water pump never rebuilt) ..
also check for prices and good service technicians to do the job, 84 K M its not that bad, you can get more miles out of your car with a good schedule tune-up and oil change.
Any car with a schedule maintenance service its good (some better than others) but even the new-ones and expensives have problems with all those sensors that reduce the contamination and increase the efficiency of the engine.
Good Luck!
