Hello,

On this vehicle in order to replace the water pump, the timing belt and tensioner need to be removed as well.
It is always a good idea to replace the water pump, timing belt, tensioner all at the same time give the process that is involved with it.

I have attached the water pump along with the timing belt replacement procedure below.

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