Ummm... seeing as honda sells the B16A belt for 90 bucks, I can't see them charging 5 for labour.

Name of the Honda dealer please - I have some work for them on my Civic.

Can someone tell me at what intervals should the timing belt be changed?

100,000km and 200,000km?

[Alpine]

100000 or 5 years whichever is first.

[Baopham]

buy it and do it urself! remove nething that is in ur way, twist the crank so first piston reaches TDC, u can tell this by the markings on ur camgears, take off and replace... urrm.. i guess il be changing mine soon, ill prolly do a write up.

A mechanic did mine. I bought the timing belt from Honda for $70 and he did the labour for $70.

$450 is an absolute joke.

Why would I lie about it? I got it done @ Doncaster Honda (Melb). I've even got my invoice right next to me. Although I only have a D16Y4, but I dun think timing belts any different?! Maybe the customer service guy gave me the wrong price! :p

i got charged $100 for the timing belt plus fitting when i put my civic for its 100,000km service at peter warren honda warrick farm.. but that was just part of the major service.. total service with everything else cost me $700...

$95 thats bloody cheap, most ppl charge $100 just for the labour.

Hannys quoted me $220 :rolleyes:

Guys you have to realise the effort that’s involved in changing the timing belt. It’s a 2.5hour job at least. You have to take the rocker cover off and drop an engine mount to get the belts off.
