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

No no, I was asking why they have to be replaced so early, since I haven't heard of this problem in newer cars. Feel me?

Feel me? newer cars need water pumps replaced as well, take for example the chrysler LH engines...V6's with timing chains, used in the: * 1998-2004 Chrysler Concorde * 1998-2004 Dodge Intrepid * 2001-2006 Dodge Stratus sedan * 2005-2008 Dodge Magnum SE * 2001-present Chrysler Sebring convertible and sedan * 2005-present Chrysler 300 * 2006-present Dodge Charger SE (Initially, only fleet models received the 2.7L in 2006) * 2008- Dodge Avenger * 2009- Dodge Journey * 2002- Chrysler Intrepid (Canada) are a timing chain engine, the water pump is behind the chain and driven by it and does need to be changed. it sucks....because a water pump leaks coolant..and the timing chain is bathed engine oil to keep it lubricated. nicely done! lets put the water pump which will leak in with the innards of the engine which is the last place you want coolant to be! -------------------- |
