When do you change the timing belt on a Honda Civic 2000 EX?

Answer 1

New Answer HeadlineI have a 2000 Civic EX and have followed the maintenance schedule quite religiously. All of my maintenance has been done through a Honda Dealership. They told me that even though the manual says x amount of km (sorry not sure what the owners manual says offhand), that I should change it at 160,000km, which I did. AnswerI have a 2002 Civic and my mechanic told me 90,000 miles. The owners manual says every 110,000 miles. Does anyonoe know how much it should cost?

I own a 2002 Civic Ex and took my car in for repairs at the dealership for a right wheel bearing and dampeners. My car had 108,000 miles on it. I was told that it would be $700.00 to replace the timing belt which was a tedious job. Which need to be done at a 105,000 miles. I'll write back later with all the details of what it all comes with. They charged me $550 for what I came in for. $400 of it was on labor. It only took them 3 hours to do the work. No way is a Honda tech worth $133 an hour. There economy cars not Porshce's.....
