    is this a real question? something seized and the belt died - probably because you ignored terrible noises

        You don't have to be "a car guy" to look under the hood to find a broken belt.

        you can limp a few miles home or whatever but the battery will die. if your water pump is belt driven it might overheat - don't do that cause it may wreck the engine. just look under the hood at all the belt driven accessories - one of them is probably not spiny anymore.

            it's on the timing belt afaict so it wouldn't run at all without the waterpump

            Water upmp isn't timing driven, it's not a honda engine. it's either an opel 2.2 i4 or an isuzu 3.2l v6

            here are pics i took

            Don't drive it, the water pump is belt driven.

            why did you say the serpentine belt ran the water pump? it clearly does not

            u rarted? clearly the 'fan pulley' is the water pump

            the fan pulley is the fan. the water pump pulley in the other diagram is the water pump. not too complicated

            if it was the timing belt the engine would be at the minimum useless and at worst wrecked.
            note: I have no clue if the rodeo has an interference engine

            Timing belt has nothing to do with this issue, you're just confusing OP

            That's what I'm saying
            It can't be the timing belt because the engine dies without one

            nobody said it was the timing belt that broke. we just weren't sure what belt ran the water pump, which turned out to be the serpentine belt

            And I'm saying that's impossible for it to be the timing belt because the engine would die with it broken
            How hard is this to understand?

            do you understand saying that is of no value? we know it's not the timing belt. at no point was there any ambiguity regarding that. literally, i mean actually literally, nobody asked. from the beginning we all knew that.

            Not only absolutely moronic, also a liar. Read this and say that nobody said it was the timing belt again

            it's on the timing belt afaict so it wouldn't run at all without the waterpump

        Tensioner pulley bearing fricked off and took the belt with it.

          so does it just need a bearing or whole new tensioner

            Whole tensioner, it's sold as a unit.

            ok. well o'rilleys has the belt but the tensioner had to be ordered.
            funny thing is a few weeks ago i rolled it and i was stuck in WY fixing it for a few weeks, now on the way back to WI the belt broke in SD. looks like an easy fix based on a youtube vid i just watched. remove the fan & radiator, then you can get at all of it.

            I always ordered belt and pulley kits. They're relaitvely cheap and you prevent getting fricked by a 25 year old bearing that's worn to shit

    Sounds like you lost your belt. Either from the belt snapping from wear/age, tensioner is weak allowing the belt to walk, misalignment or a pulley decided to frick off

      the bearing broke on the tensioner and the belt went thereafter

        Just went back through the thread. Had a similar thing happen to an idler pulley. The bearing took a shit and the pulley exited the engine bay

    ok actually the water pump is run by the timing belt, so i can drive it i guess.
    found this searching online, same diagram comes up over and over when i search for 6vd1 timing belt routing

    Accessory belt fluid is out. You need to refill the belt applier and maybe top off the tensioner lube.

        Depends on the store, some put the blinker fluid in lighting isle and the AB fluid and lube in the oil isle. Some put these accessory fluids in the same isle.

      Did you change your tensioner too? When my belt slipped, I didn't. I just replaced the belt and the tensioner pulley bearing.

      I was so proud, first proper DIY job done. I'm starting to love working on cars in my garage bros.

        only the pulley. i would have to wait for them to order the whole tensioner otherwise
