I have a 2000S and it is on its third water pump. I changed it out strictly as a precautionary step to avoid any future issues. There were absolutely no outward signs of failure, but after removing it, there were three failed impeller blades. The cost of replacing the water pump is relatively low compared to the cost of a repairing the motor if serious damage happens from a cooling system failure. If your car is on its original water pump, I would put it on the list of things to address in the near future. Waiting for it to fail is playing Russian roulette with your engine.
