I'm having my timing belt, kit, and water pump replaced. As I buy the timing component kit I'm having trouble determining if my 2001 Plymouth Neon ( 2.0 I4 GAS SOHC Base Sedan ) supports using either a manual or hydraulic timing component kit. The auto store tells me the mechanic has to take it apart first so he can find out, but I need to save time, get the right info, and get the right part. Help. If it helps, I already purchased the timing belt and water pump. I just need the correct type of timing component kit.

The timing component kit comes with the belt And water pump already to piece out the tensor seperately will cost you more.I always use the kits with the belt water pump tensor idler pulley and tensor pulley. Your best bet would be to ask the dealer if they can see which tensor it is from the vin. Otherwise your going to have to pull the timing cover to which it is.

Airtex part number awk1253 that kit comes with the hydraulic tensor And if you have A mechanical tensor it will convert yours to the hydraulic one.
