Timing belt/water pump

[Joe Yakubik <75363.2524@compuserve.com>]

In my quest for info on the 60k check-up someone asked for info on why the water
pump with the timing belt.  I hit "delete" instead of "reply" -- sorry.

Here's what I know about it:  To change the water pump you need to pull the
timing belt, the bulk of the repair for the water pump is labor.  It's one of
those "while you're in there" jobs.  I haven't priced a water pump, so I am not
positive this "repair" is all that cost effective though.
