Go right ahead and order them now. The service papers that came with my
200TQ (recently sold) indicated a timing belt change at ~72,000 miles. No
mention of water pump change, which did make me wonder. The pump let loose
with a gush at 135,400 miles, luckily while parked right in front of my
house.
