Check your owner's manual for the service intervals, but general rule of thumb is change your timing belt and water pump every 60-80,000 miles.
the water pump is under the timing cover, if you replace the water pump, it is also a good time to change out the timing belt... Honda recomends changing water pumps when you change the timing belt...
need help on changing 95 Honda accord ex water pump and timing belt.
You do not have to change the timing belt to replace the water pump. You do have to remove the timing belt cover to be able to access the bolts that hold the water pump on.
It is behind the timing belt coves and you will have to take the timing belt off to change the water pump out
70,000 is standard on timing belts. Change the water pump at the same time because they die at the same mileage.
At a Honda dealer expect to pay around $900 to replace the belt, water pump, and install fresh coolant. At an independant shop it can cost as little as $350 but $500 is about average.
the water pump is turned by the timing belt and it is recommended that you change the belt at the same time as the water pump
I have the very same car and was just about to bring it in at Honda for a timing belt and water pump and oil change. However, once I arrived at Honda the person told me I am a year early for the timing belt change. I have 125,000km. She said for my vehicle its 160,000km or 7 years to change the belt. I was shocked and am now researching this...that's how I found this question. GL
Timing belts last about 70,000 miles. You should change the water pump while you're in there; Honda likes to drive them off the timing belt, they wear out about as fast as the timing belt does, and since you're in there anyway...
2006 Civic has a chain, no replacement necc. but the water pump still has to be looked at!
70,000 miles is a good distance for a timing belt replacement. It's also a good distance for a water pump replacement, and most mechanics change them at the same time.
I think there is only one on the 4 cylinder (1.6 and 1.7). Just behind the timing belt. You change the water pump at the same time as the timing belt.
