    If you don't have the service history or know when it was last done then get it done asap....AFAIK it Should be done around the 60k miles. Well I got my 96 civic done at 62 & 120k.

    The majority of older Japanese cars(civic included) run a 60k miles/100k kms or 5 year interval, so if your has never been done, your 21k and 9 years overdue:eek:

    Unlikely the original belt would last that long, so it's probably already had at least one change.

    While on the subject,
    97 Civic EK2
    Engine D13

    What would need to be changed ? Just the belt?
    It has been done already but if it were only the belt then would be worth it.

    well lads sorry for the late reply wasnt near the laptop til now,

    ye i had a look it says it was changed at 107'000km so there's 132'000 km now so how often would you need to change this iv done roughly 25000 miles since it was last changed..

    its a 1.5 vti civic for the person who asked.

    is it time to change or can i go another 25000 miles?

    cheers for the help
