I need a routing diagram for a serpentine belt on a 1997 Ford Escort with a 2.0 liter engine. Replaced the water pump and the serpentine belt is cracked.

The picture is for a zetec. Let me know if wrong diagram?

Hi Pennie:
Try checking with your parts supplier. They will match the belt # for your vehicle. Sometimes there will be a diagram on the belt packaging. If you have the belt and you know it's the right one, here's a way to figure it out. One side of the belt will be smooth, the other has ridges. The ridges will be on the inside. Pulleys with grooves will have the belt ridges fit into them. Pulleys that are smooth will have the belt go under them so that the smooth side contacts the smooth pulley. They call it a serpentine belt because the belt snakes its way around the pulleys.
Hope this helps.

i wasnt sure what engine you had hope this helps good luck

1) Start with the alternator.
2) Forward to the smooth idler
3) Forward to power steering
4) Down to A/C compressor
5) Back to crank pulley
6) Forward around tensioner
7) Back glancing off of water pump
8) Back glancing off of ribbed idler
9) Up around alternator (where you started)
Good luck!

They have all the belt routing info for any vehicle with a serpentine belt.
Hope this helps....

Go on the Dayco belts web site. They make serpentine belts and a pretty good data base of belt diagrams for any vehicle they make a belt for.

2.0L Engines
See Figures 11, 12 and 13
The accessory drive belt for 2.0L engines has no provision for manual belt adjustment, since these engines use an automatic belt tensioner. Drive belt slack is taken up by the automatic tensioner.
Movement of the automatic tensioner assembly during engine operation is not a sign of a malfunctioning tensioner. This movement is the tensioner self-adjusting and is required to maintain constant belt tension.
The belt tensioner has a belt length indicator. If the indicator marks are not between the MIN and MAX marks, the belt must be replaced.
