SOURCE: Do I change water pump when having timing belt changed
I would go to auto zone and get a diagram and the timing belt and do it yourself and the water pump (no it does not have to be changed everytime the timing belt is changed but if the car has over 60,000miles then it is best to change them both) it is not that hard especially if the car is not out of time just make sure you disconnect the negative side of the battery

It is vitally important to change the timing belt BEFORE it breaks on these kind of cars, because they have interferance engines which basically means if it breaks you are screwed. When changing the timing belt (I would recommend the following)
(1) replace the water pump
(2) replace the alternator and other belts as they will need to be removed for access.
(3) check and replace the tensioner for the timing belt
Most good reputable independant shops can do this at a much better cost than the dealer. Just guesstimating I would put labor at around $300. That is based on a rough estimate of 5 labor hours. Could be more or less (more at a branded dealership)...

It would be hard to explain over the computer.
The best and easiest way to do this is get a Chilton manual for the auto-parts store. The book runs about $20.
It will show you step by step on how to do it. It's the do-it-yourself bible for your car.
This way you have all the pictures, diagrams and other info you need. It's great research material.
