Where is the water pump located on a 2001 Chevy Cavalier?

The water pump on a 2001 Chevy Cavalier is located at the front of the engine, near the timing belt (or timing chain, depending on the engine). It's driven by the timing belt/chain, meaning it's usually tucked in somewhat, requiring some disassembly to access it properly.

To be more precise, you'll need to know which engine is in your Cavalier (2.2L or 2.4L). The location is generally the same, but slight differences might exist due to engine variations. Consulting a repair manual specific to your Cavalier's engine would give you the most accurate location and access information.
