We are having a rattling sound and have discovered that it is the air (smog) pump on our dodge caliber, 2008. None of the dealers in our area claim that this vehicle has this type of pump and claim it is either the pulley or the a/c pump, etc. My father, who used to be a mechanic as well as another mechanic that works at Advanced Auto Parts both have discovered that it is in fact this smog pump, however we need a diagram of the engine due to the naming of the parts.
Go to auto zone and find the hanse repair manual for you car if that doesn't work find a chilton manual one of them has to work and if all else fails go to a junk yard and get another air pump don't drive it to much if the pulley on the air pump seizes your stuck!

SOURCE: replace water pump cost
the time to replace is 3.8 hours. multiply this by the shop flat rate and this will give you a labor rate. call some local parts houses to find the price on the pump, dodge gets around 98dollars hope this helps, depending on when you last changed the timing belt you ight want consider doing this at this time as it has to come off to change the water pump. this is an interference engige if the belt breaks it will damage the valves, you should only have to pay for the belt. hope this helps if not ghet back tome and i'll try to help you further. please rate my fix, as i strive to the best Thanks Ray
