Serpentine Belt

[Ldub]

Is it just me that is confused here?? (It wouldn't be the first time LOL.)

I always thought that our water pumps were driven by the timing belt, not the serpentine belt??
And if it is the timing belt they are talking about, then you certainly cannot see that.

Is this another case of "old timers disease"??

Yep, you are correct sir. It may be they're looking at the cooling fan drive,assuming that it's driving the water pump....

As far as I can see in Barts timing belt how to, it looks like the timing belt is driving the water pump, I botched that one...

JNUVX, take a look in the how to section & see what you think.

If it's as you've described, you should be able to follow the how to to step 17 & have the source of your problems on the bench.

Sorry for the misinformation...

Good catch PK...

i think the idler pulley may be the one in question here

its located right near the water pump (above the tensioner), I thought it was my water pump at first too..
