best to do timing belt at same time as you have to pull cover ect off, so might as well do it at the same time.
not a hard job to replace both then its done for 100,000kms

Intend to replace water pump on my 1996 EFI 16V Vitara (Pump has been been rattly for a while now) Want to know if I have to remove & replace Timing Belt at the same time or can I just replace the water pump without having to pull timing cover & replace belt etc Also intending to replace radiator at same time so should it be necessary to remove timing cover etc I would then consider replacing timing belt etc. Thanks Dusty |

the timing belt tensioner bolts to the water pump so yep you have to pull it all off, its not a big job though if you are familiar with timing belts consider replacing the cam and crank seals while you are there |

Do the radiator as well - makes it easier to get your hands in if it's gone. |

Still gotta pull all the existing stuff off/out, and once done it's all a 100,000km set and forget. |
