About to give the 2.5L non turbo its second cam belt replacement at 160k. 2 questions:
1, should i be changing the water pump as a matter of course? It strikes me as the only bit of the puzzel i may ignore. Im thinking is putting a £30 pattern pump in really better than continuing to use the 14 year old orginal which appears to be fine?

2, cam belts, is it preferable to stick to a volvo belt or is aftermarket as reliable?

I've never had a problem with sticking pattern parts on cars, but the 850 seems to be a totally different beast when it comes to reliability and what you put on it.

Thanks in advance
