Should you replace the water pump when you replace the timing chain on my 2009 Nissan Rogue. Thanks. ---

Why are you replacing the timing chain on this Rogue? That would not be a routine maintenance item like a timing belt. And no, you don’t have to replace the water pump, it is not driven by the timing chain. ---

Mustangman took the words right out of my mouth. Sheri, would you like to tell us what problem(s) you’re experiencing? ---

It would be nice to know the mileage on the car too. I’m working on my 2006 Pathfinder now and at 160K miles main chain is still in a very good state, I’m only replacing secondary chains and tensioners, which is a known failure on this model if you are talking about chain replacement, you must either ticked a lot of miles or have some other problem, normally chain is not a routine maintenance item ---

I wouldn’t reuse a 9 year old water pump during a timing chain replacement. If you plan to keep the vehicle for a year or two pay for the new water pump. ---

> [@thegreendrag0n](#): > > if you are talking about chain replacement, you must either ticked a lot of miles or have some other problem, normally chain is not a routine maintenance item A large percentage of the cases of worn-out timing chains seem to relate to overly-extended oil change intervals. It would be nice to know the following regarding the OP’s vehicle: > Odometer mileage > Type of driving to which it is typically subjected (urban, suburban, highway, mixed) > The typical oil change interval–in terms of BOTH odometer mileage and elapsed time. > 🤔 ---

If the water pump needs to be replaced next year it will be 2 hours labor and another gallon of coolant. ---

> [@Nevada\_545](#): > > If the water pump needs to be replaced next year it will be 2 hours labor and another gallon of coolant. I understand that, but the OP didn’t say it was **needed** , they asked: > [@Sheri11](#): > > Should you replace the water pump when you replace the timing chain on my 2009 Nissan Rogue. I do wonder though, if you would take this to a shop, would you save much, if any labor doing water pump at the same time as timing chain? ---

No one can predict when the water pump will need to be replaced but the customer will be disappointed if the water pump fails a year later. Why not replace it while the engine is apart? ---

we do not even know the mileage, spare the story behind why chain need to be replaced OP dropped one message and the rest is only a bunch of our speculations from the very low amount of information
