SOURCE: water pump replaced

timing belt has nothing to do with changing the water pump and that engine should have a timing chain anyway.... assuming it is the serpentine belt:

there should be a belt tensioner. A pulley that is spring loaded and keeps the belt tight. It wouldn't have any grooves in it like the other pulleys. get a wrench on the center bolt and pull it clock-wise, put the belt on, then release. It is easier to do with two people. make sure you route the belt correctly.

You need to locate the tension pulley and by moving it with a wrench you will have enough slack to finish the job BE CAREFUL it can require a lot of power to release the tension

MY 1998 VW BEETLE IS OVERHEATING ALSO IT SEEMS AS IF THE TIMING BELT IS SLIPPING OFF THE PULLY WHEEL. WHAT TO DO
The timing belt is routed around the water pump and if it is slipping off the pulley, your water pump is not correctly cooling your car. Have the timing belt and water pump replaced.

Hey the water pump just went in my 1998 toyota rav4 2litre. how do i go about replacing it ? i cant find anywhere on here
Your water pump is driven by your timing belt, can not be seen with out remove timing belt cover, to replace you will also have to remove timing belt, if timing belt has not been replace best to replace it now also, timing belt should be replace every 60,000 miles. make sure before removing timing belt that you mark where all pulley gear's are at, so when you install the timing belt back on there in the same place as before you move the timing belt, no need to mark water pump gear,good luck,hope this was very helpful.

Where is the water pump located. 1998 dodge neon
The water pump is driven by the timing belt. If its leaking replace it NOW. If the pump locks up, the timing belt will break and your valves will bent. and then the car will not be worth fixing. Replace the pump, belt and the tensioner. Dodge may have a redesigned tensioner and cover, buy all parts from the dealer.
