Timing belt job on 87.5 CGT

You should also do the front crank seal while in there.  New accessory
belts are often done at this time, as well.

If your auxiliary radiator is iffy, be prepared for it not to survive
removal and reinstallation... have your mind already made up if you want
to get rid of it or put a new one in just in case.

It should come with the seal.

Sound slike it, yes.

I don't know.

Yes.  As far as I recall, all the 10v i5's use the same water pump
except for a few later type 44 (?) ones that have the super traction belt.
