105,000 miles is the factory recommended chande on the timing belt and i wouldnt change the water pump; there is no set interval for changing the water pump, i have driven for 25 years and have never changed one!

It really depends on how you drive the car. Say you do alot of highway driving, you'll need to change the timing belt and water pump at 60,000 miles. If it's mostly city driving then about 80-90,000 miles.

since you are going have to get the belt changed, get the water pump changed too. they both are a pain in the butt to change because its so darn crammed in there. if you do one now and one later, its gonna cost you twice the labor to do it. kill two birds with one stone when you have the chance.

if the water pump goes out and the car overheats, it can cost you a new engine or a rebuild job.

Its definitly time to change it no matter what the factory reccomend's. I think it is 80,000 miles. You have 98,000 on the original and its your best bet to get it replaced. The last thing you need is $1400 in damage because your timing chain broke. So it's definitly worth spending $250 to get it replaced.

check on your belt to see if there are treads left

also it is 60k miles to change it

well im not sure exactly wat mileage its suppossed to be but if i were you id replace thwe timing belt.
