Can you give me a step by step instruction guide on how to replace the water pump, timing chain, and any other essential parts needed to replace a busted water pump. I have a 2005 Chrysler Sebring TSI 2.7L...

First, I am not a Chrysler mechanic, but have replaced several water pumps. Unless you know you need a timing chain, you likely do not need to replace that. Water pump is pretty easy to replace. Pull belts off, un-bolt the water pump, and pull it off. Scrape the old gasket off. Paint new water pump mating surface with gasket sealiing stuff, apply gasket, paint back of gasket with more sealing stuff, then bolt it up. Replace belts, and done.

My 2001 olds sil mini van keeps overheating :( we have replaced the water pump temp sensor thermostat and flushed it with Prestone Super radiator flush and put in peak antifreee 50/50 so to not mess up...

How long can you drive it before it gets hot ?
Are you positive all of the air is out of the cooling system ?
You could run it without the thermostat to check for a blockage in the system that would prevent flow. If the block is full of coolant, and the water pump is pumping it thru the passages, you should have heat.

There is slack in the belt around the water pump and the thing that the water pump sits on is really loose someone told me the bands in the water pump have gone out is there any way to fix that without...

A water pump would not have bands.
If the water pump pulley is loose, the bearing may have failed. If that is the case, the water pump would need to be replaced.
If the serpentine belt is loose, the tensioner may have failed.

Water pump went out

what do you need to know.This is a hard pump to replace. you need to change timing belt when you do this, as I believe the pump is driven by the timing belt. It would be better for a garage to fix this one.

My SAAB 9-5 2.3 Automatic (V Reg) cuts out at low speed

Take a look at the accessories belt.... does the battery and/or check engine light's on? This belt activates water pump (check temperature gage...), power steering pump (heavy steering...), a/c compressor (a/c working?) and alternator (battery recharging)... of course!

Hope it will help you, even if my english isn't terrible...

New saabgirl.
