I just had my water pump changed on my 01 box with 37k km.

The plastic impellers were still perfect, the pump seems in pretty good shape.

But at least now I've gotten rid of one potential problem...

Also had the low temp thermostat put in.... temperature is now usually slightly above 80 degrees C, goes up to approx 90 degrees when pushed hard (same as prev). No other noticeable difference though.

I changed the serpentine belt at the same time, although it still looked good. And was very glad I did, got rid of the whining noise especially when the weather is cooler or engine is cold..
