Thanks for the replies but I think some of you may be missing the point here...

I had the cambelt and tensioner changed under warranty last year. I am now due the 40k service, I was just wondering if I need to replace the waterpump now or whether it can wait til the next cambelt change?

If I was having my cambelt changed now then yes, of course I'd change the water pump too.

Leave it be.

If you were having the belt changed with this service, I would say get the pump changed.

Peter cooper have a well written script, as when mine was done, was told the same. Something along the lines of it already has a newer uprated Plastic impeller water pump which was prone to failure as the earlier types.

Whether theres any truth....who knows, but im not worried.Will get mine changed in 2 years time when the cambelts up for another replacement.

Do let me know if it fails before then so I know to change mine.  :laugh:
