🛠️ Inspection Frequency:

✔️ Every 20,000 - 30,000 km – Check for leaks, noise, and overheating.
✔️ During Timing Belt Change – Replace the pump at 100,000 km if your Hilux has a timing belt.
✔️ Coolant Change – Inspect the pump when flushing coolant every 40,000 - 60,000 km.

📌 DIY Check:

Look under the engine for leaks.
Listen for grinding noises near the water pump.
Feel the hoses for weak coolant flow engine should be warm.
