T-belt question

[crashed97tsi]

I have a problem that is going to result in either a water pump change or a headgasket change. Either way the t-belt has to come off. Now the belt and equipment only has 26,000 miles on it. Can I reuse it or do I have to buy new timing belt stuff. Please le t me know as soon as possible. I'm in a very tight situation here. Thank you

You can reuse it btu I would put a new one on just for good measure. Then you wont have to worry abotu it and you wont have to change it for another 50k. Its really your call. You could do either.
