For $167.60, you can get a new Aisin waterpump, timing belt, tensioner, and idler.
I bought those for my 142k engine.

One of the reasons these cars last so long is the quality, and ergo cost, of OEM parts
My OEM BMW water pump was half the cost and much cheaper made than my Volvo with 185k on it now.
