Timing belt condition question.
 

Hello,
Not sure if you have seen other of my posts ,
but I'm now working on another S80 (2000 T6) that I bought in the beginning of August for a good price. It has almost 124,000 miles on it now . Question is, I know the Timing belt was changed in 2010 ,then it disappears from car fax for 7 years . Anyways here is a picture of the belt. And can wait till spring time to replace.https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/volvofo...8c3c73f3a3.jpg
P.s. The more I drive the car the better it gets.
Thank you.

I'd replace it. Just those cracks on the outer skin means it is getting fatigued. It's a very critical component so don't let it fail.

Okay, thank you. It'll have to wait till November, I will have the money to pay for the kit . I've done a timing belt before on my 04 S80 a year ago, so at least I know what I'm up against So hopefully it can hang in there for 1 more month. P.s. should I leave the water pump alone if it's not leaking?

You should always do the pump when you replace the belt.

Water pump... timing belt replacement.
 

Okay, on that note. What manufacturer should I go with as far as water pumps. I've heard of certain after market ones failing , I plan to keep the car as long as possible. I'm not paying $300 for a water pump (dealership price) Any suggestions on this would be helpful.
thank you.
