Default Water pump change - what belts have to come off?

My newly acquired phase 1 v70 2.5tdi is happily peeing itself on a regular basis due to a knackered water pump, parts are on their way and I have an offer of help and a two post lift to make things a bit easier. My question is regarding the three different belts. Obviously the auxiliary belt and cam belt have to come off and will be changed but do I need to mess around with the diesel pump belt? I am conscious that retiming the pump can be a pain so if I could just leave that end alone it could save hassle. Would just fitting a new cambelt put the timing out? Or is there a trick to how you fit them to retain the timing? Belts were last changed a couple of years back so not concerned on it’s life and will maybe do it later in the year (my health is t great at the moment so the less hassle the better). Any help much appreciated.
