I can't say that water is your problem, I have never heard of water doing this. I would start by checking to see if your tension-er is creating enough tension. It is possible to put an oversize belt on a vehicle which would cause the belt to be loose.Poor pulley alignment is another possibility. Good luck! R.K.
Yes, it will come off if driven through an large puddle of water. It had happen to me with my 1998 T @ C.
If the belt is too loose or not there then yes - the water pump runs off the serpentine belt. If the belt is too loose or not there then yes - the water pump runs off the serpentine belt.
On a 3.3l the water pump is driven by the serpentine belt. On a 3.0l the water pump is driven by the timing belt.
the belt is ether too old, or a faulty component that is being driven by the belt.
Check the allignment of all the pully's.
it could be a serpentine belt or accessory belt.
Wash it off with water.
No, an accessory belt is not considered a serpentine belt. However, a serpentine belt is considered a specific type of accessory belt.
when serpentine belt breaks alternator and water pump stop working along with power steering pump
You lose the functions of your power steering pump, water pump and alternator.
The water pump on a 2001 Pontiac Sunfire is driven by the serpentine belt, not the timing belt. The serpentine belt powers various accessories, including the water pump. It's important to check the condition of the belt regularly, as a failure can lead to engine overheating.
If it's a "chirping" noise, then you don't have the belt tight enough.
