==================

I just checked my manual and found no manufacturer-recommended replacement
intervals for the items you mentioned. Therefore, they are not in the same
category as an item which DOES come with such recommendations.

I can't even remember that last time I had a water pump
fail....probably sometime in the early 80's on a Celia that had about
150K on it.

Spending money just to be spending is stupid, And most of the shops
use aftermarket parts which end up failing before the factory part
would have anyway.

Oh, and I just checked the owners manuals for my Honda, Toyota, and
Mazda...and there is ZIPPO about replacing the water pump. I suggest
you buy a better car.

The water pump replacement depends on the car. Some Toyotas have the water
pump under the timing belt and you have to remove all the stuff anyway.
Might as well spend an extra $ 100 while inside the motor. If you only got
150 K miles out of the water pump that means your pump may fail 30 K miles
or so before you go back into the moter for the timing belt.
Timing belts fail and leave you stranded. The alternator can go out and
usually you can still drive for a short distance. If the AC compressor
fails, you just get hot and it can be repaired at any time.
Some cars break the timing belt and the valves hit the pistons and you are
in for major expenses.

Why change oil? Just add some if needed..

I had a Toyota with enough miles on it to replace the belt the second time.
I did not change it as the trade in value was only about what the belt
change would have been. I had decided if it failed to just let the car go
to the junk yard. It did last long enough that I bought a new truck. I
sold the car to a co-worker. I did tell him the belt ws about 20 K miles
overdue and if he did not change it right away not to ask for a refund.
My mechanic wanted to change the water pump and he showed me why. I let
him. He only uses parts made by the makers of the cars he works on for
major parts.

I had one go on a Rover 216 (which had a Honda-built engine) at around
100k - I think it cost me about $60 for the pump and $40 for a new belt
(made sense to do that while I was at it). Took me a couple of hours to
do the work, so it wasn't too bad - the real pain was having it fail at
work rather than home, so I had to get a tow from a friend.

Oh, and I just checked the owners manuals for my Honda, Toyota, and
Mazda...and there is ZIPPO about replacing the water pump.

I don't think I'd expect that to be in the owner's manual; it's more of a
factory manual kind of thing.

On a lot of engines I've seen, the water pump runs at very high RPM,
which is why they have a harder life than a lot of other engine
components. They're not normally expensive, and it's usually trivial to
do the work while the timing belt's being done anyway. Alternators, PAS
pumps etc. don't stop the car from working and are easy to do without a
significant amount of work, so they can just be replaced when they fail.

The whole concept of external vs. internal components hard for you to
grasp? You replace water pump with the rubber band timing belt because
the thing is apart anyway, and all you are paying for is the part. The
stuff hung off the engine is much less labor to change, other than the
evac/refill and pressure test on the A/C.

Sure, only because lots of folks seemed to have totally embraced cheap
instead of value. We use an evil mom & pop place and he will explicitly
offer both the junky parts and the quality parts when quoting a repair.

Even a cheap chinese bearing will last a lot longer than that. It was
not lubricated properly when installed. You should go back and tell
them you want if done again, right, for free.

Or just the roads on which the car is driven. I had a front wheel
bearing replaced on my last company car, it literally lasted three days
before the replacement started making noise. The noise started
immediately after hitting a monster pothole on an onramp; looked like an
asphalt patch, wasn't.

Fortunately, it was replaced shortly afterwards - I didn't want to have
to explain why I needed two new wheel bearings within a couple hundred
miles of each other...

when the a/c clutch on my vette seized, it was either run it and have it
catch fire because the serpentine belt was being dragged over a stopped

Yeah, and why he's at it, he should also get the AC compressor and the
alternator replaced. (rolling eyes).

============

On what planet would the AC compressor make your **necessarily** car
stop running? The word "necessarily" eliminates mentioning the one
exceptional condition under which it might happen, because that
situation is avoidable by operating a switch.

when the a/c clutch on my vette seized, it was either run it and have it
catch fire because the serpentine belt was being dragged over a stopped
pulley, or get it towed. that would pretty much define 'stop running'.




In my former car, a Taurus, it meant "turn off the AC" and things were fine.
So, it all depends.
