Bought my 06 ex with navi home, have a question belt or chain and when do you need to replace it>

 

I don't know the answer, but i have a question of my own. You haven 06 Civic, why do u want to know how to replace it?

 

When to replace just wanted to know......

 

Chains never have to replaced. Timing belts should be replaced every 60,000 miles.

 

ok, but is it a chain or belt?

 

I dunno. But if you plan on doing any work on your car, get the factory service manual. I'm not sure how much they run, but i would imagine its under $100 and if you do your own work its worth it. The service manual will tell you how to change anything on the car and you will be able to see if it has a chain or belt. I'm leaning towards belt b/c the Civic is an entry level car and using chains is alot more expensive b/c the chain has to have a lubrication system and the chains are more expensive to produce. I know that the S2000 uses a chain.

 

'06s have chains now. They never need replacing.

 

thank you!
