I just got my 90K service done including timing belt/pulleys/waterpump, I was wondering is the waterpump visible to the eye if you just open the hood or is it inside the engine? because a friend of mine took a look and thinks that the waterpump was not replaced...

anyone know?

 

I'm not sure exactly where it is but I assume it is driven by the serpentine belt that runs along the front of the engine. One of the pulley that the belt turns should be the water pump.

 

Well, the part behind the pulley looks the same, that's why im wondering why its not new and shiney?
