Leaky water pump
I have to replace the water pump in my 95 SE. It has 150,000 miles. Is it necessary to replace the timing chain as well? How about the tensioner?
Also, Can anyone recommend a good after market online parts store.

Did mine over last summer on my 96........no chain or tensioner replacement is necessary.
Got my pump from http://www.courtesyparts.com/

Just because it's leaking doesn't mean you have to replace the whole pump. Stephan Max had this problem and when he removed the pump to inspect, he saw the pump itself was in good shape but it was the seals that had gone bad. See if you can get the seals by themselves from the dealership.

This IMHO is not worth it......its not a 5 minute job to get the pump out to change the o-rings.....Imagine cheaping out and just doing the o-rings to have the thing still leak.........been there, done that

BTW I would go ahead and put in a new tensioner. Just my opinion.
