Once I noticed that my water pump started leaking, so I told myself that =
I would replace it the next day. Half an hour later, on the way to work, =
the waterpump shaft failed, and the fan chewed right into my radiator. =
No peace of mind for me that day! {:~-(

Well, I think you got a bad component from the factory. The design is =
sound.
I'm replacing both the idler and tensioner along with my water pump at
about 225,000 km (135,000 miles) as preventive maintenance. I'm still =

glazed a bit on the back. Modern serpentine belts use Kevlar =

so as long as it's not slipping, they rarely fail. I carry a spare just =
in
case (actually had changed briefly, but the new one was noisier).
I checked all the bearings by rocking the pulleys, and only these two
displayed any play at all. The (120A heavy duty) alternator was fine, as
was the A/C compressor. The water pump wasn't leaking a bit either, but =
I
think it was "time". A bit of peace of mind, anyway.
Good luck,
