Do u have to change the water pump, belt , etc around 100 000 miles in a 2001 civic and how much does it cost?

i have a 2001 civic and a guy at express lube told me ill need to change the timing belt and some pump and a couple other things and they would do it for around 500 dollars i dont know much does this sound right? Thanks for the helpDo u have to change the water pump, belt , etc around 100 000 miles in a 2001 civic and how much does it cost?Under normal conditions, replace the timing belt at intervals

of 110,000 miles or every 84 months.

If the vehicle is operated at ambient temperatures

under 20掳F or above 110掳F, replace at 60,000 mile

intervals.



Parts: $19 - $28



Timing Belt

Labor: $227 - $289

It sounds a little high to me! you can call other shops and ask for an estimate, ask everyone you know for recommendations or ask at some of the auto parts stores for a recommendation for a good honest mechanic!



other items that may be changed at this time are the other drive belts, water pump belt, alternator belt, ect, but this should not add much to the cost because they need to come off anyhow to get to the timing belt! Water pump should not need changed unless it is bad!Do u have to change the water pump, belt , etc around 100 000 miles in a 2001 civic and how much does it cost?it sounds about right and very late actually, honda recommends that be done at 80,000 miles. you could do it your self, but if you have no experience do not risk it.

Your timing belt may suggest around 90,000 to 100,000 depending on driving conditions. A new timing belt is about $35 from your local auto parts store.



Although the timing belt wraps around the water pump pulley, the water pump should be inspected first not replaced without a reason.



If there are traces of coolant leaking behind the pulley, the water pump should be replaced ($40 from your local auto parts store). If there are traces of coolant leaking along the edges of the water pump gasket, only water pump gasket should be replaced (just $4 from your local auto parts store).



Since it is more difficult to determine the condition of the timing belt tensioner, it may be a good idea to replace the timing belt tensioner ($60 from your local auto parts store) .



If express lube charges $500 for this job, then they're pocketing about $365 for labor. I would consider $150 labor charge more reasonable.

If you save yourself money and buy these parts yourself, the rest is labor charge if you don't have the tools. Shop around for the best shop on installation cost.



Good luck!
