Timing belt change
I have a Volkswagen Transporter 102PS 2010 with 43,000 miles coming up to five years old. It will have its cam belt changed shortly. Will it need a new water pump fitted as as well?

Definitely. New timing belt, tensioner and waterpump. If the waterpump fails it will take off the belt and destroy the engine.
