Servicing help
As some of you may have seen my project thread my cars going having some work done on it in 2 weeks having new turbo,manifold, injectors, tmic, cone filter all fitted now as my car has hit 60k it's time for a new cambelt which will be fitted along with a full service now here is my problem I've been recommended to change the water and oil pump while the cambelt is being done but work have just laid off 6 people and it's not looking very good for the rest of us, so don't want to spend the extra for the oil and water pump when I could be made redundant in the following weeks so could I get away with not replacing the oil and water pump ?

The water pump is driven by the cambelt so if it fails then it will do the same damage as if the cambelt had snapped.
If you wanted the water pump doing in the future then it will cost the same amount in labour to remove the cambelt to get at the waterpump.
Not sure on the oil pump tbh

I believe the model of car dictates how important the full service is, I was advised with my blob STI that its common practice to simply check the oil pump and tensioners/pulleys for wear and if they are fine simply change the belt, I was told water pumps are reliable on newage cars and didn't often require changing at 60k, obviously it would be best to change the lot if money grew on trees but it doesn't.
