I broke the Fan/alt belt today - what are you using on your car?

And NAPA Premiums seem to be good as well a Gates. I've raced for years on both.

As for the moan from the water pump, it sounds like the seal. It may be hard with age or dry for some odd reason. Keep an eye on it. If it starts to go, you normally will see coolant weeping from the drain hole on the underside of the pump snout.
