1. Your Owner's Manual: The most straightforward approach. Your owner's manual should have a diagram of the engine compartment, including the serpentine belt routing.
2. Online Repair Manuals: Websites like Chilton's, Haynes, and AllDataDIY offer repair manuals (often for a fee) that contain detailed diagrams and instructions for various repairs, including serpentine belt replacement. These are usually more comprehensive than what you'll find for free.
3. Online Parts Websites: Sites such as AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, and Napa Auto Parts allow you to select your vehicle's year, make, and model. They often display diagrams of the serpentine belt routing when you search for a replacement belt. Look for a diagram or illustration related to the belt's location.
4. Google Images: A search like "2002 Chevy Venture serpentine belt diagram" might yield helpful images. Be cautious, as the accuracy of user-uploaded images isn't guaranteed. Look for images from reputable sources if possible.
5. YouTube: Search for "2002 Chevy Venture serpentine belt replacement." Many videos demonstrating the replacement show the belt routing clearly.
Important Considerations:
* Engine Size: The 2002 Chevy Venture came with different engine sizes (likely a 3.1L or 3.4L V6). Make sure you specify the engine size when searching for diagrams or parts, as the routing might vary slightly.
* Accuracy: Always double-check the diagram against your own vehicle. Minor variations can occur due to manufacturing differences or modifications.
If you can't find a diagram, taking a picture of your own engine bay *before* removing the belt can be invaluable for reinstallation.
