Dealers found a way to make more money -- replace the metal water pump at every timing belt change!! Even if it doesn't need it!

The tensioner roller and the idle roller need to be changed, along with the T belt, to get the car rolling again. If there is no play in the water pump, don't replace it. The pumps usually are good for 200K+, and it probably got replaced at the last T belt change. Besides, if the belt moved enough to bend valves, do you really want to throw in a new water pump?
