Correa trae el 1.0. Tanto el 1.5 como el 1.6 creo que llevan cadena.

Hello everyone! Have you changed the belt?? Mine is asking for it now, at exactly 6 years or 100km, at Honda they charge me 2,000 euros, whereas at the trusted local workshop it’s about 500 euros, what have you done?

Ah!, mine has a timing chain…I thought all Honda Civic X had a chain…

Well, or whatever chain it is, have you changed it already?

Man, as far as I know, the distribution chain doesn’t have regular maintenance or a scheduled change like the belt. It’s designed to last the entire lifespan of the engine…or so I understand…

Have you changed it already?

No, no, I have no idea… unless I’m told otherwise, of course!!

Well, you have to change it when the car is 6 years old.. if it fails, you might as well throw the car away, man..

First news… but I think we are mixing topics, as I told you, what is usually changed is the “TIMING BELT,” not the CHAIN… let’s see if someone else can enlighten us…

Correa is, I just checked, and yes, it needs to be changed every 6 years.

Okay, well, I didn’t know there were models of the HONDA CIVIC X with a belt…

Yours is also like mine, timing belt and you have to change it every 6 years.

The 1.5s have a chain, the 1.0s have an oil-bathed belt.

The 1.0s need changes every 6 years or 120k km as I understand it. The 1.5s don’t need the chain changed (I assume it has its own maintenance, no idea, I have the 1.0).

[quote=“Ris, post:16, topic:8897”] The 1.5s come with a chain, the 1.0s with an oil-bathed belt.

The 1.0s need changes at 6 years or 120k km as I understand it. The 1.5s don’t need the chain changed. [/quote] Good thing someone came to bring some sense to the topic xD For the 1.5s, which have a chain, you only need to adjust it at 120K km.

I changed it in June since the car was 6 years old. I think it was the timing belt + oil change, it cost me about 1600 I believe. The materials were around 500 euros + 8-9 hours of labor.

Isn’t that at the Honda? God, I’ll take it to a regular workshop and they charge me 600 euros, those at Honda are overcharging.

976 euros + VAT are being charged around here in Asturias. The difference is in the labor cost, which is not the same if they charge you 50 or 80… in 8 hours that’s already 240 euros more.

Buuuuut with the belt issues and the recall, I’m not taking any chances.

Morrillu: Make sure they change everything necessary…
