[200q20v] Bad Water Pump?

[Peer Oliver Schmidt]

If the timing belt has never been done, DO IT NOW! Sorry for shouting
:-), it was not done on mine, the repair bill was _very_ high.

There is a distinct chirping sound coming from the front part of the
engine
on my 129K 200q20V Avant. Not load enough to hear from inside the car
with
the windows up, but very obvious from outside the car with the engine
idling. I've never had this problem before, but I would suspect a water
pump.

I have service records for the first 100K miles (100-120 are missing),
with
no evidence of its ever being replaced. While looking through for the
water
pump, I also can find no reference to a timing belt change either.

Is there anyway to confirm its the water pump?

I presume if I do the pump I should do the belt at the same time...
