Best Answer

The other belts and pulleys you are referring to are probably the belt and pulley system that turns the engine fan. This is a completely separate system from the timing belt, which is located deeper inside the engine and maintains the even spacing and timing between the combustion within each piston/cylinder compartment. These two pulley/belt systems are in no way connected.

At what mileage does a 1995 Honda Civic Ex need a new timing belt What is the cost?

90,000 miles. Honda dealers will charge around $800 because when this is done you will want to replace the water pump, idler pulleys, belts, etc. Why? Because this is such a pain to do (much has to be dismantled in order to get at the timing belt) that it is better to do it all while you are doing it.

There is no timing belt. It is a timing chain. I have 130,000 miles and have not had any trouble. It will start making noise when it is time. Unlike timing belts which will break, timing chains wear out slowly.
