Timing belts and water pumps - do you always need to get the two changed at the same time?

I've got to get the timing belt on my 1997 Toyota Tercel done soon. Everyone keeps telling me I should get the water pump and serpantine belts done at the same time, but I had all of that serviced about 15,000 miles back when one of my serpantines broke. Do I need to get the whole works redone or can I get away with just getting the timing done?

Hi there... they have to take off all of the belts to get to the timing belt. Anytime a belt is removed it runs the risk of being damaged. Now considering the all the belts have to be removed even though only 15,000 miles ago you might as well have new belts alround. The cost is really only for the new belts as they have to remove them anyway....

If you just had the waterpump done before, there should be no need to replace it again already. Why do you need to change that timing belt again, so soon?
you can just get away with just getting the timing done to save money...if you just had the serpantine belt done whats the sense in getting it done again.
you should be alright with just timing belt
Follow the recommendations of the owners manual. Why do you need to change the waterpump. If it works don't mess with it. If you are talking about the fanbelts I would replace them at the same time.
just get the timing belt done. who ever does the belt will be able to inspect the water pump and diagnose it to see if you need one or not. most likely not.
Did I understand you to say that you have just had the timing belt changed 15K miles back? If so, then you must have some other problem. The serpentine belt would not need to be replaced again, unless there is a reason, like fraying, or cracking, or some other defect that you can visually see.
There is no need to change the water pump every time you change the timing belt. The timing belt is very important to change BEFORE it breaks, if it breaks during driving you could total your engine block but if a water pump fails your temperature sensor will go up and you will notice a leak.
I'm not sure about your Toyota, but on some cars, the water pump is driven by the timing belt. In those cases, if the timing belt is original equipment, it pays to change both at once simply because you have to take the timing belt off to get the water pump off.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'd just get the belt changed and not give it a thought until the next scheduled maintenance. Just remember what you had replaced, and have it checked when you go in if you don't check it yourself.
just get the timing belt changed and you should be in fine shape.
changing my timing belt and other belts this week going for a greddy kelvar belt as will last for as long as i have car and for years after.And havent got to worry about any extra bhp being to much for it.

But i was also told to change my waterpump at the same time.

I suppose it makes sense as its so dear for a timing belt change i suppose worth paying for once only.
no, however it is wise to change them together because they are both at the same location. it is just saving you labor to do them together. if it cost you 500.00 dollars to do a water pump, it may cost the same to do a timing belt.
