The reason for suggesting a water pump together with timing belt is because it is right there in plain view but it is not needed because the timing belt runs over it.
Just the same with the coolant thermostat. When the timing belt is removed it it a lot less labor to reach the thermostat and it might be a good idea to do that at the same time.
But all these extra parts brings the price up and it can sometimes be difficult to defend the cost to a customer when another shop throw a timing belt on for a couple of hundred dollars.
The Volvo engine though uses the timing belt to drive waterpump and since the replacement interval on the 99 and up Volvo timing belt is 105K miles it is a good idea to do the water pump at the same time.
