Seems it may be 60K miles or 10 years. Seems waterpump may not be driven by cambelt so you may not have to do the waterpump.

I did google bro i got different types of answers some say 60k some say 80k and some say 100k lol

Ignore the mileage.

Your car is now nearly 13 years old and if it's on the original belt there's a good chance it will be perished to buggery.

Get it changed sooner rather than later if you intend to keep the car for any length of time.

nah not my car didnt buy it as i went and saw it didnt like it, it didnt look healthy i decided to find a decent honda jazz for a cheap price and stick with that
