Since my Sportage just turned 180,000 miles I'm going to have a little maintenance done. I'm planning to have the belts and hoses and the timing belt replaced. One place I got a quote from said they'd do the job for 250.00 plus parts, but he suggested that I consider doing the water pump at the same time.

The other guy said 342.00, including parts. He didn't say anything about the waterpump.

Would members suggest replacing the waterpump now, or waiting until there is something wrong with it?

Thanks.

The KIA isn't as powerful as the dually, but it sure is easier to park.
