Go along with Robby, also been around the block a couple of times, 80K miles has been typical for a water pump to go out with these single drive belt systems, another stupid idea. That tiny little water pump sees the same force of the heavy load put in by the power steering pump, alternator, and especially the AC compressor. The more you use you AC compressor, the shorter your water pump life will be.
Those old cars I posted had separate drive belts for this heavy stuff. Single drive belt systems are the key problem for water pump failure and most use a bronze bushing that wears letting the seal leak at the first sign. So check my reservoir frequently, also a good idea to lubricate the hood release frequently so you can check it.
Takes all the power I have when a car salesman tells me I only have one belt to change when I feel like wringing his neck. What an idiot.
04 Cavalier was a far superior design, water pump was driven off a very low tension timing chain and thus had a very long life, but required a special 80 buck tool to replace it. Noted this on the 1.4 L engine, back to the single drive belt, whatever happened to history? So knew I would be replacing it at the 80K mile point if I drove it this far.
Also received that 150Kmile/10year free replacement letter, thought that was rather generous for the water pump. Also at this time, 80K miles replace those limited lubricated bearings as I call them in the alternator, AC idler pulley, tensioners, and idler pulley if equipped. At this time, that grease is rock hard, and if not taken care of, could leave you stranded someplace in subzero weather, if that single drive belt breaks.
Water pump is key, if that doesn't spin, that aluminum head will crack due to over heating, then losing the electrical for a dead battery, all thanks to single drive belt system.
