Yes. If the mileage is high enough, it would be wise to change the water
pump as well.

Re: Timing Belt Question
My 04 Santa Fe has 41,600 miles on it.
Had the belt changed to keep up the warranty.

Sorry I didn't catch this in time. I had been replacing the
tensioners with timing belts as a matter of course, but stopped when I
discovered it was a powertrain warranty item. If you're the original
owner and the next timing belt replacement will be prior to or near
the 10 year/100k mark, save it until the next time. Same for the
water pump.

True, but that means it is covered from the 60K belt change to the 100k
mark. You still go from 100k to 120k uncovered with the potential to take
out the belt and the engine at your expense. Consider the risk factor
versus cost to make that decision.

Re: Timing Belt Question
I changed the Timing belt at 41,600 mi. after almost 5 years. I will do
another change right before the 100,000 mile mark or 10 years mark which I
will most likely reach first. At that time I will do both the tensioner and
water pump.This is my wife's car and she does not drive it that much.
One thing is the new belt is real noisy and it is really bugging my wife.
Does a new timing belt suppose to be noisey. It is a winey noise.
