I do not recommend you to change the timing belt. If you have basic knowledge you have to have included together with your question at least the year of the Plymouth Voyager besides the type of engine. Usually Plymouth Voyager 1996-2000 comes with 4 different engines (4 cyl, 6 cyl 3.0 lt, 6 cyl. 3.3 lt and 8 cylinders) and the procedure to change the timing belt is different. I guess in the 4 cylinders engine water pump have to be removed in order to change the timing belt but you will decide if you change or not the water pump: Is it the original factory water pump and how many miles you put in it? if you already replaced it, how many miles ago? you keep your cooling system clean? You will decided if you keep the same water pump or replaced it.

    But how if he already change the water pump a while ago?

    Usually I have changed the timing belt because water pump failure.

    Since the timing belt broke before water pump I'm thinking he already have the water pump replaced.

It is recommended because if you have to change the water pump belt change since you have to remove it and you save work in the future as we recommend changing the camshaft seals and crankshaft as it saves time and money

How do I remove oil pump on 2000 Plymouth voyger
The oil pump removal procedure for Plymouth Voyager 2000.
A oil pump is usually located in the oil pan. If you want to change the oil pump and replace it with a new one, roll up your sleeves and get ready for some dirty work.
The procedure to remove oil pump is as follows:--
  • Drive your vehicle up onto ramps or lifts so you have room to work as you pull out the oil pump. You could also use a jack, but make sure you brace the front wheels so they don't roll. In addition, set the emergency break firmly into position so the car doesn't roll.
  • Remove the engine front cover then drain the engine oil and take out the oil pan. It is under the engine and looks like the bottom of the motor.
  • Unscrew the oil pump mounting bolts with a wrench and proceed to remove the oil pump itself by pulling it down and out of the engine. Avoid getting any contaminants into the oil pump assembly while removing.
The Water pump removal procedure for Plymouth Voyager 2000.
The water pump is the heart of the Plymouth Voyager's cooling system, circulating the coolant. When the water pump is faulty, it can cause serious damage to the engine of your Plymouth Voyager.
  • Disconnect the negative battery cable.Place a drain pan underneath the radiator. When the engine is cool, drain the cooling system from the radiator into the pan.
  • Remove the right inner splash shield and the accessory drive belts. Support the engine underneath and remove the right motor mount with the bracket.
  • Take off the front cover and remove the timing belt along with the timing belt idler pulley. Also remove the camshaft sprockets, the rear cover to the timing belt and the alternator with its bracket.
  • Loosen and remove the bolts to the water pump and remove it from the engine.Install the new water pump after inserting a new o-ring gasket. Tighten the bolts to 105-inch lbs. Make sure that the pump can move freely by rotating it by hand.
  • Replace all components in reverse order. Tighten the camshaft sprocket bolts to 75 foot pounds and the timing belt idler pulley to 45 foot pounds.
  • Refill the cooling system with coolant and reconnect the negative battery cable. Start the engine and check for leaks when it reaches normal operating temperatures.

Loud noises coming from the cooling system could be a sign that your water pump needs replacing. A leak in the coolant may also be an indicator. You can expect that a water pump will need to be changed every 70 to 100 thousand miles or so in a Plymouth Voyager vehicle.
Thanks. keep updated for any more query.you can rate this solution and show your appreciation.

Where is the water pump located on a 99 plymouth voyager, 3.0Lit?
It is driven by the timing belt. You'll need to support the front of the engine, remove the mount and timing covers. The pump sits in the center between the heads and has a tube running into the back of it that sometimes is difficult to get out. If you are uncomfortable with setting up the timing belt you may want to have a professional do the job.

Where is water pump on 1997 plymouth voyager??
Unfortunately it us under the timing cover towards the top of the engine. It is a pain to get at and it is recommended that you replace the water pump with the timing belt as it is very labor intensive.
