Timing Chain

[toxicturtles]

I have a 93 es300 with 217,000 on it. The timing chain was replaced 70,000 miles ago.

Should I start worrying? Will there be any warning or will it damage the engine when it does fail?

Also, do I really need to have the water pump replaced too?

It's a timing belt. The current schedule is 90,000m

Personally, I wouldn't, but it's your car. No, there is no warning if any tiiming belt, or chain just breaks on any engine.

or will it damage the engine when it does fail?

In this engine's case, no. The engine will simply stop running. You set the timing correctly & put a new belt on if that happens.

Also, do I really need to have the water pump replaced too?

God I would. People are down right abusive to cooling systems. Flush the coolant, change the thermostat, change the 2 pressure caps while you're at it.
