Water Pump Replacement.
It appears that the Lexus water pumps need to be replaced between 50-75k miles....interesting. I need a water pump replacement, thermostat, gasket and drive belt per the dealer. I found all the parts but have what may be a dumb question. When the dealer says drive belt, are they referring to the V belt, timing belt, or ? 2007 Lexus is 250. Thanks
They're referring to the serpentine belt. These cars do not have timing belts; they have timing chains. If you're on your original belt, I'd change it. The belts are one of the more neglected things people don't change on cars. Heat, mileage, and age all take a toll on the belt. If any of the groves appear to be cracked, it's time for a change.

Hi ClubLexus,
I have an 2008 IS250 with 130K miles with original water pump and serpentine belt. I checked it every time I do an oil change and everything looked fine. Should I replace it now or wait until it start going bad? Thank in advance. Chris
