Honda Civic (2001 - 2011) - Replace the Timing Belt

[@ChristopherLuongo]

I’m sure glad they reminded me to open the hood before starting the job.

[@johnbabu4670]

Thanks to haynes for the wonderful video. I tightened the waterpump bolt to the torque mentioned in the video 104lbs and the bolts broke. I checked the honda manual it says 12nm. Happy days

[@jaswindersingh1738]

I just did timing belt water pump valve cover gasket and all other gaskets tensioner as well first time thanks for making videos like this 2003 honda civic Es1 1.7 automatic from Australia

[@andrewwalz1748]

After following the video I was able to successfully replace the timing belt, water pump, and valve cover seals/gasket. One thing the video does not show is removing the ABS module, although you don’t need to remove it to carry out the repairs, but it definitely opens up the space for easy access to the timing belt/water pump if removed.

Very good video. Haynes manuals are very useful.

[@alltsab]

From 2006 up to the present civic doesn't have timing belt FYI

[@JonBorpa]

Really really?

[@beavermunch5097]

Goofed up the title of the video… let’s go Brandon

[@strker10]

Yes, 07 and up they use timing chains, much much better than belts honestly

[@MrTyler2121]

22:00 is the timing belt install.

[@Glenn7719]

Disconnects the battery, jumps in, turns ignition on and everything lights up?

[@ClassicGBodyGarage]

and start the car to warm it up to drain the coolant system......

[@majedmaliki6783]

Is it just me, or was that tensioner spring installed upside down @23:13??

[@bmw2fix770]

Mating surfaces. not pronounced correctly BUT otherwise...the narrator does a great job. It otherwise is a Really nice DIY.. take care and be extra careful with the spark plug tube seals in the valve cover. ( maybe take a few cellphone pictures..Have done quite a few timing belts on many cars.... must admit Haynes does a great job on certain cars...our library is full of them....mostly really old manuals.. Modern cars are not made to be worked on unless you have some tools and skills.

[@zzpro110]

Very useful

[@sheraldfernando7631]

Thanks for the good ideas

[@oleloonline]

The title of this video is incorrect. My 2009 Honda Civic has a timing CHAIN. Thank goodness I didn't start ripping it all apart before double-checking!

[@darascorp1315]

The tensioner spring is mounted upside down. It has the up mark on one side.

[@jakesnake4998]

great video

[@jrppemarti9762]

29:00 is there gasket particle wrong side of the engine

[@johnperez93640]

No need to completely remove the valve cover. Just raise it slightly enough to remove the top timing cover.

[@rampageblizzard]

if you're doing a timing belt replacement, you might as well get the valve cover off and put a new gasket in there.

[@looking_33]

@@rampageblizzard cheaper and easier the better for me

[@rampageblizzard]

@@looking_33 there are no extra steps involved ( besides a few bolts.), and a valve cover gasket is like less than 20 bucks.

[@looking_33]

@@rampageblizzard I did the whole job without removing any of the accessories (alternator etc) or valve cover. just loosened the bolts until it raised a cm. most of this video is unnecessary waste of time. Took off the crank pulley and timing covers thats it

[@rampageblizzard]

@@looking_33 well, if it works for you, good. I’d be unsatisfied if I did the job that way. lol. Hope the new belt serves you well though

[@d0xiiee]

got a 2001 honda civic lx with a crank but no start situation boutta check the timing chain. doesnt sound out of time so hopefully its nothing serious

[@gavinalvarado4333]

How was it ?

[@Jakegarc1a]

@@d0xiiee this year and model does not come w/ a timing chain. It’s a timing belt.

[@ElLoboferoz787]

Can you make a video of a 98 lexus gs 400 timing belt change

[@zacharydeangelis]

The 2011 Honda civic does not have a timing belt, it has a chain.

[@adammiller7621]

Why did it start by removing the passenger side front wheel "remove appropriate wheel" yet all repairs were done on the driver's side

[@jonathan3982]

Belts and pulleys are on the passenger side man. Removing the passenger side wheel gives easier access to the pulleys.

[@hasankara1105]

super

[@kirillpushkin]

Jesus, he completely disassembled the car just because of the belt...

[@agnosticmanquestionsall2409]

😂 Engine replacement not only belt omg

[@looking_33]

@@agnosticmanquestionsall2409 they made this way harder for themselves. unnecessary

[@avail64]

Valve cover gasket and O-rings: they don’t just “pop” out if the car is old. There should be a warning. You need to heat them up with a heat gun to work them out. If not you will make the mistake I did and tear them up and it will take many painstaking hours to get all the pieces stuck done in the ring.

[@ranger178]

this looks nothing like 2007 honda civic

[@ThatHondaGuy2]

You are correct! This is a 7th Gen Civic (2001-2005). Honda introduced the new body style in 2006.

[@johnperez93640]

Removed the wrong wheel in the video.

[@jonathan3982]

No he didn't. I suggest you watch again and put your eyes on 👀

[@looking_33]

50% of the things in this video are unnecessary wow
