Hi gents. I've owned my vitara for about eight years and I had the belt changed at 105k and now it has 230k and was wondering if I should get the water pump changed as its the original item. Cheers ray

A lot of bits come out to get to the timing belt,
it makes sense to replace everything in there,
while your at it.

Pretty sure my water pump was original and I only changed it at 210,000 - was mint and I reckon worked better than the brand new replacement...

I wonder how many people have pulled out a perfectly functional genuine suzuki pump when they change the belt and replace it with an inferior chinese copy?

I think it's a good idea to change the pump with the belt, especially at 200K+, but I'd be putting a genuine pump back in.

That's exactly what I did. Replacement had smaller, thinner blades and the whole thing felt a bit flimsy compared to the original, which did look absolutely new. The belt did too, so I guess there's a chance they had both been changed not long before I got it.

Live and learn.
