yeah i thought it will be good idea to change timing belt as well while doing water pump as it will be easy to do then. Hope it will solve the problem

Another way to check is by feeling the top hose and also your heating inside the car wouldn't be working........

If yours is not over heating you need a new coolant bottle as the sensor fails.
