In my opinion i wud change the cambelt any way, even if the previous owner told me that they had, people do tell porkies,
SOURCE: Describe your 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser timing
Replace the belt at 100k with a new water pump pulley and tensioner. It would not be a bad idea while u r in there to replace the center motor mount. When the mount fails it is a pricey fix not a bad Idea to replace it since you have to remove it to do the belt.

hi from uk could you please verify ? you intend to diy cambelt change ? also has belt been removed already ? or has belt failed/broken ? the belt change is not too difficult to change/renew and is advisable to renew belt and tensioner and the water pump too as it is driven by c/belt to eliminate having to strip down again in near future due to possible pump faiure/leaking ? belt replacement is approx120'000miles or 8 years service ? however if belt has failed ?? then as this engine is what is known as interferance this means there will be piston/s to valves contact resulting in possible valves damage/bent ? the renewal of c/belt etc should take approx 3 hrs if you are confident/tooled and would save $$$$
SOURCE: need correct position of pulleys
there will be a dot or an arrow like a v they will go face to face at the center of the pulleys facing each other. call the dealer to make sure thats right. manual will walk you through this
