Doing test A,C,D
According to Honda Civic 2001 manual after 48,000km (mine now 47500) I have
to do these things beside changing the oil rotate tires. 1) Inspect and adjust drive belts 2) Replace air conditioning filter 3) Replace air condition cleaner element. I want to do these by myself this time. I am not sure what of these I can do it at home (with help from car manual, instructions from you/websites etc) and which one can not be done at home (I suspect the first one). The reason I want to do it beside saving money, learn something, and I have the time to do it, so why not. Any help/direction/advice etc about how to do all these above would be very much appreciated. |

Thanks for the info, buddy. But swapping out the AC filter still doesn't require any tools. > > 3) this is also very easy, look at the manual to see where to unscrew the > > bolts and swap out the air filter. > > Again using a screwdriver AKA a tool. <g>. Again, thanks for the info. Note that I did not say anywhere that #3 didn't require tools. It requires a socket wrench. |

Yeah, you'll need to buy the filters. Look in the maintenance section in the manual for the parts and instructions. Sorry, I don't have any experience with drive belts. |

Possibly not, but, to get to the A/C filtre does require the use of a screwdriver. To remove the glove compartment. |

No. 1 open hood and look at belts with the motor running.. look to see if they loop- swing out when rotating??? probably not, then turn motor off and feel the belts to see if they are loose.. thats all the dealer would do.... No. 2 look in this news group for 2001 honda a/c filter replacement, it was there 7.27.03...... i just read it.... No. 3 I dont know what a a/c cleaner element is, but cant be much other than pulling out filter and putting new one in..... |
