How Much does it cost to replace rotors on a 2005 honda civic?

How much should it cost to replace 2005 Honda Civic water pump and timing belt?

  • My 2005 Civic ran hot during 98 degree weather- yesterday- one time- with a/c running. When I took it in this morning, they could not find a problem but recommended I replace the timing belt and water pump (car has 101,000 miles). Does this sound logical?

  • Answer:

    Page 149 of the owner's manual says to replace the timing belt at 110,000 miles. Page 160 says the timing belt should be replaced at the intervals shown in the maintenance schedule [on page 149]. But replace the belt at 60,000 miles (100,000 km) if you regularly drive your vehicle in one or more of these conditions: In very high temperatures (over 110°F, 43°C). In very low temperatures (under 20°F, 29°C). It cost me $300 to have the belt replaced on my 96 Accord at an independent mechanic who specializes with Hondas. Most dealers in my area want anywhere from $650 to $800 to do it. It won't have any effect on the car running hot so I would suggest replacing the thermostat and inspect all the hoses and flush the cooling system.

$800-1,000? Sure if you go to the Honda stealership to do it. A mechanic should be able to do it for less than $600. When I had my CR-V's timing belt changed, it was $525. So for less than $600, you should still be getting the timing belt, waterpump, seals changed. Also, since they are doing that, they also change your other belts at the same time. By the way, your Civic's timing belt should be changed every 110,000 miles according to Honda so you shouldn't even have to change it just yet. The overheating could be a bad thermostat. Are your fans working as they should? Do you have a coolant leak? Check your coolant level. There are many things that would cause overheating. If it is your waterpump, then do the entire timing belt service. If not, don't bother with it and save your money unless you want it done now. That's my 2 cents worth.

for the shop about $800 yourself about $100 If you do do it yourself be suree to use a manual(you cann get one from the dealership), and consult someone who has done it before.

Don't listen to everyone who is saying do it yourself. If you cant diagnose those problems yourself you arent ready to replace your timing belt. if you dont have your timing right can will blow your engine within 30 seconds and have to replace the whole thing. You shouldn't need a new belt but if you have a mechanic that is a friend of yours have them take a look at it. Alot of shops try to rip people of and sell them things they dont need, dont fall into their traps. Hope this helps!

it does sound logical. you should change the timing belt every 70-80000 miles. your water pump is probably on its way out.

yes, about 800-900 at the dealer. call all dealers for discount, they usually have like 10% off for timing belt job.
