I just replaced the water pump in our 94 960 with 176,000 miles due to leaking at the rear seal of the pump. I was told at the third timing belt interval that the pump would last to the fourth belt change. I found the pump impeller had receded to the rear and ate an 1/8 inch into the housing. I replaced the hydraulic tensioner , tensioner roller, and idler pulley also. This was 310.00us for all parts and a few hours of time. Cheap insurance to ward off a 1500.00us top end overhaul if the pump had seized. Be sure to have a 12mm offset wrench to get the lower tensioner bolt out.
