2000 Civic Timing Belt or Chain??
I was at a local dealer today looking at a 2000 Civic EX. It had
66,000 miles . The salesman told me that you don't have to change the timing belt because it had a timing chain. Is that correct? |

No. Hmmm, I had a salesman tell me variable valve timing had to do with the transmission... I didn't laugh till I got home. __________________ Note: To reply, replace the word 'spam' embedded in return address with 'mail'. N38.6 W121.4 |

That salesman needs to talk to one at my local dealership. He explained
that the "i" in "iVTEC" is what makes the engine able to rev high without overheating. With VTEC being such a valuable trade mark for Honda, you'd think they would sit their sales people down and explain to them what it is. Liam Devlin wrote: > > Elmo P.

When I bought my first new car (87 Nissan Pulsar, still running at 175k
miles) I was asking a lot of questions...silly stuff like, does the car have power steering. The salesman actually told me I was doing too much research!

The things some of these guys claim! ;) For the record, it was a Nissan dealership.. The kind salesman was attempting to sell me a Nissan Murano with a continuously variable transmission. CVT and VTEC and valve timing all sound alike after awhile. You'd never believe it, but we didn't buy a car there. __________________ Note: To reply, replace the word 'spam' embedded in return address with 'mail'. N38.6 W121.4 |
