I’m sure doing the swapping tomorrow morning when the engine cools down, and will check out your video too. Honestly, it doesn’t seem hard at all-I’m just hoping I have the tools I need 😉

Aaron, you’re right it’s not a turbo, and the timing belt/water pump was replaced at the dealership where I bought it. They charged me 1,307.00 for seal-wpump,belt, tensioner, bracket-torque reac,antifreez,crank seal,lower front motor mount-what do you think? I’m guessing the radiator was ok back then as they usually advise of other needs. Thank you for this chart and your advice. This is very helpful.

Karl, Thanks for this advice. I trust the mechanic’s expertise, but his prices always compare higher to others; maybe it’s because of the location of his shop. I checked the fan today after arriving home from work which is about 13 miles away and the fan wasn’t running and the engine felt extremely hot (pretty much untouchable) I made a stop at the advance auto parts and they have both relays at 12.99 ea. in stock. But I think I’m going to get a couple more estimates first from references I got from friends’ mechanics and will make the point they check the relays first. One of the recommended mechanics already quoted at 300.00 so that’s -100 🙂 Thanks again, your warning is timely, i really need to take care of this tomorrow. My PT Cruiser is 2003.
