Water pump???

Hello all, I truly hope I'm explaining this correctly...my power steering and alternator belts broke and well the pulley the fan is connected doesn't turn, my bf says "the water pump is bad" I refuse to believe that, is a new pump with maybe 30,000 miles on it and 700.00 to fix it. So, my question is is it really the water pump? Which I thought the timing belt drive the water pump, at least I think that's what I recall from changing my timing belt bout 40,000 miles ago?...
Any tips or info, I'm really not wanting to do the water pump. Also, if I do should I really Change the timing belt again as well?
Thank you and I hope all of this makes sense to everyone.

 

If you have the 3.4L, then yes, timing belt turns the water pump. You'll know if the water pump is bad because it will leak through the weep hole, and at that point you'll need to replace it along with the timing belt.

 

Sounds like you just need a new fan pulley.

 

Sounds like the fan bracket pulley, which goes out a lot on the 3.4. The bearing seizes up and the pulley won't turn. It's directly in front of the water pump. If you order it new from Toyota, it comes with the fan clutch and both belt pulleys. It's ridiculously expensive.

There are some aftermarket options out there for the fan bracket by itself, though.

 

I agree with the other comments. I am a diesel mechanic by trade and I just recently replaced the timing belt myself. The fan pulley provides one of rotation points for the belts and the only thing they power steering and alternator belts have in common, aside from the crank. The water pump is driven by the timing belt and does not drive the fan belts

 

What does a bad Fan clutch pulley or bracket sound like? I have this awful sound that I can’t find. Changed the fan clutch and it’s still there and it’s in the fan clutch area and I was thinking it’s the pulley for it, just don’t know what it sounds like. I can post a video of my 4Runner. If anyone can help that would be so helpful!!!
