Hi guys. Sorry for digging out this topic of its grave. I found this topic while googling for some more information to compare with my Haynes Book on how to change the timing belt. This coming May I will be changing the timing belt in one of my civics. I will be doing it myself...

Hi All, Today I had a go on the IACV and I did it without taking the TB apart. As I don't have any TB gasket, therefore, when removing the TB, the gasket might get ripped. Also as I don't have any gasket sealant, (I will order a TB gasket and some gasket sealant just to have it for the next...

Thanks RonJ, your help is much appreciated. As I said earlier, I will try to take apart the IACV without taking the TB out unless it gets too fiddly so I take the TB out. I've already called honda and they don't have the gaskets in stock but they can order. Out of curiosity I asked how much...

Thanks for your help. To be honest I was about to ask if anyone knows the torque specs for the bolts. As I have 2 torque wrenches, fitting the bolts with the precise torque is not a problem. My issue is if anything needs calibrating as I will take the throttle body out even not dismantling it...

Hi all. My honda which has a D14Z4 engine, is suffering from a low idle. From what I read on the internet, the iacv needs to be cleaned. The thing is, on this engines the iacv is located under the throttle body and it is in an awkward place to work or fit tools there. I was wondering that...

two 6th gen here from 2001. one with 84000 miles and the other one with 66000 miles

ok thanks. you are worst than me, you are everywhere, lol

Thanks for your quick response and knowledge. The car is now reaching 85k miles, do any of those sensors need to be changed or cleaned at some point/mileage? I would prefer to change or clean them if it needs to rather than to be left at the road side waiting for assistance at some point.

Hi all Another day I was cleaning a bit in my civic’s engine compartment and then I started wondering what these 4 devices/sensors are or whatever name these things are called, what they are and what they do. I will try to upload a picture and starting from the left to the right I put some...

Hi guys. Thanks for your help and advice. Whatever I will be doing, either changing the coolant or just testing it I will do it just after next week because from today I'm off on holidays. Thanks to you all.

My coolant was done 3 years ago when I had the cam belt and water pump changed. I already done 20k miles in it since and no problems. My dilemma now is I don't know if it worth spending money in some sort of tester or just buy straight away the coolant and change it, as long I buy the right one...

Thanks guys. Hard to say now if the coolant I have at the moment in the car is dark green or blue. I need to check that. Should I run the engine once or twice with fresh water untill warm before putting the new coolant?

Hi all I own two 6 generation civics and I would like to change the coolant or at least check it how good it still is. In One of the civics I don't know when the coolant was changed because I just own the car for about 2 years but the other one the coolant is about 3 years old. In the...

Hi guys, my wife today was having some difficulties to start my civic to go to work. The car has a new bosch battery that I fitted myself last May. Today was minus 2 degrees here where I live but for the last few days the temperature was a bit lower than that and the car was starting as usual...

Another day I went to Honda dealer and I was told that they need to order a new remote and then to find some code somewhere around the mirror and then to make it work. The cost was around £300.00 As far I understood, the code can be found in that thing, receiver I think, near the mirror...

Hi guys. Having problems here with my remote. My honda is the model from 96-2001, I can open the doors with the remote but I can't lock it, have to use the key. Was thinking to pop in some scrap yard and find the key fob and receiver, what you guys think? It can work?

Hi guys, I need some help with the track rod end outer, I need to change them both in my civic. After checking on the internet, I found one site where they are reasonably cheap, just under £6.00 each. Is it the normal price or should I go for a bit more expensive ones? Any recommendation? At...

Hi guys, Here in UK the 6th generation was sold until March 2001. Honestly I'm really surprised that it can be the struts or what we say here in Europe, shock absorbers. I always thought when they get messed up, the suspension would go softer but at the same time the car would go lower because...

Hi guys, about a month ago I bought my second 6 generation civic, from the same year as the other one, 2001. This civic it seems to have an issue in the rear suspension compared to my other civic, if I measure from the tyre to the arch of the rear wing, there is a bigger space. When driving in...

I've got a Civic 1.4 sport model from 1996-2001. I'm thinking to buy another one for the wife but I saw the same one as mine but with different engine,it is a 1.5i vtec. Apparently it is a bit more powerful. What do you guys think about this one? Many differences between one and another one?
