At only 122 100km (75,860mi)!! The water pump bearing tear apart, and ball bearing parts and pieces found in the timing belt cover:
 So when you replace your timing belt, make sure to replave or have replace your water pump in the same time! Unles you'll have to make the job twice

wow, hopefully you didn't damage your motor..
this should be a good wake up call for those who are still using their factory installed waterpump. -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
