WRX cambelt change
Discussion
2001-2007 cambelt change is at 50K miles. 2008 0nwards between 60K miles to 66K miles.
Water pump issues on newage Imprezas aren't that common although i've heard of a few on pre-2000 Legacy and classic impreza.
I've seen water pumps come off plenty of 100K-120K mile newage scoobs being rebuilt and the pumps still look perfectly serviceable however, come rebuild time you'll replace both oil and water pump as a matter of course.
IMHO i wouldn't be changing the water pump if there's nothing wrong with it just because you're doing a cambelt change. If you're going to do that you may as well fit a new oil pump as well while you're at it even though there's nothing wrong with it.
