Need timind belt diagram 2002 dodge intrepid 3.5 ES i need replace water pump and need put back the timing belt

you have to release the tensioner as it is in neutral position what you need to do is push in on the tensioner and let go it should tighten the belyt as when you push it in past the lock you will see it come out quite a ways

These usually have timing belts, if the water pump isn't making nose, leaking or dragging, put it back on. If it does have a timing chain in it, put new timing gears and guides in it as well, easier to do while you already have it apart. Check your power steering pump to make sure it is not leaking or the bearing isn't dragging, if so replace. Replace the thermostat while you have it apart. Check all hoses and belts to see if they need to be replaced while your at it, you will have most of them off anyway. Definitely check the serpentine belt that runs everything on the front of the motor, if it is cracked or worn, replace. Better to do it now rather than along the side of the road. Hope this helps you.

In the 2.7L V6, the water pump is driven by the timing chain. I'm pretty sure that in the 3.2/3.5L V6, it's driven by the timing belt. In both cases, it's a lot of work to get to, as you have to remove everything on the top (intake plenum, valve covers) and front (belts, pulleys, idlers, p/s pump, and timing cover) of the engine. Then, after removing and replacing the water pump and timing chain/belt, you have to make sure that the valve timing is exactly right, and reset the chain tensioner on the 2.7L.

A lot of work. Unless you're very comfortable with working on engines, leave it to a professional. You'll save yourself a headache (not to mention some busted knuckles). ;-)

a timing belt. the water pump uses it to turn it and you got to take it off to change the pump anyway so you might as well get a new one.also the hydralic timing belt tensioner should be replaced at the same time just to be sure.you will need anti freeze of course as well

Hello trimaineiman: My name is Roger and I will help you. A couple of things you should do is replace the water pump while you have the timing belt off. Should the pump fail later it will do severe engine damage to the engines valves. Next This engine is not a free wheeling engine. Should you put the belt on and the valve timing oi not correct. Severe engine damage will occur. By that I mean Valves in the head will be bent and/or piston damage will occur. Here is a picture of the marks. It is the best i could find. Good luck on your repairs. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer as this way I know it was helpful. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

The water pump is driven by the timing belt you will have to remove the timing belt to replace it. It's located under the timing cover.

This a dificult and time consuming project. Suggest you purchase you a repair manual which gives you diagrams and detailed instructions for this type of repair. Difficult to explain procudure in writing.

did pump lock up & fried the belt? water pump should still work if belt ok

on the front of the engine driven by the cam belt

the water pump is timing chain driven and to replace it requires serious disassembly of the engine. it is a 13 + hour job and is not for the casual mechanic
