  On the AWP 1.8 Liter engine the water pump is not driven by the timing belt but the body of the water pump is under the timing cover and it must be removed along with the timing belt to replace the water pump. About 4.5 hours work. But certainly have accurate repair instructions if you are about to tackle this job yourself.
