Default 1996 Honda Civic????????????????

I think the car has a timing belt but not sure. It's got a little over 100 thousand miles. Just wondering if I should have it checked?Thank's.

Yes it does, and you should have done at every 60K miles or 100k miles depending on what the owners manual suggests. The amount of work to just have it checked is close to replacing it.

well 100 000 miles = 160 000 km (I'm form Canada), and your supposed to change it every 50 000 miles or so or about every 6 year (depending on the distance you travel)so if it hasn't had a replacement since '96 its time.PS if the timing belt breaks down it'l cost around 5 time more than the cost to replacing it. And its not cheap to replacing the timing belt to start.okay hopefully that kinda helps you out

6th generation Honda use timing belt. Checking takes too much time (have to remove valve cover) so most mechanics would not do it for free.Supposed to be replaced every 100K or so. Replace the water pump and all V-belts.

Well, my mom ran her 1990 Accord to 220,000 miles on one timing belt (not a good idea, but possible). Anyway, I wouldn't call it WAY overdue. The manual will want you to play it on the safe side, because changing the timing belt in a Honda engine means possibly preventing complete engine failure I replaced my '96 Accord's at 109,000. So yeah, do it sometime soon.

Yes, get it checked. You will probably need your timing belt and water pump changed, both recommended every 60,000 miles
