Does the 2013 honda civic have a timing belt or chain?
@Terrence B: Do not know who gave you a thumb down. This is what I've found on the Net:
"If I remember correctly, all Civic models from 2006 on have a timing chain. Pre-2006, it's a belt… Except for the 7th-gen (2001-05) Si hatchback which had a chain.
This is corrected information as I checked on Techinfo.honda.com Techinfo actually says that the "3-door" Civic had a chain from '01 to '05. I'm assuming all "3-doors" were Si's."
James M. This isn't the D and B-Series engine era. All Civics after 2005 have timing chains. Heck, back in 2002 Civic Si with the K Series engine even had a timing chain. Most manufacturers have gone back to timing chains due to them being practically maintenance-free.
Not sure what the thumbs down is for but call a Honda dealer and you'll see that I'm right.
@liverhuuyen… You're correct. The only hatchbacks offered here in North America were "Si's" for that vintage
Terrence B is right. 2006 and up Honda Civics have a cam chain and do not use a belt. Your 2013 has the chain which should last the life of the engine if you change the oil/filter as outlined in your owners manual and use the correct weight oil.
Just look at the motor on the side with the drive belts. If the area behind the belts is plastic you have a timing belt. If it's metal it has a timing chain. Now you know you don't need any information about a motor to know what drives the camshafts.

- I have a 99 Honda civic has new distributor computer timing belt ect still want fire? I have a 99 honda civic has new distributor plugs wires computer and timing belt and all relays are good i can't figure out why it want fire turns over fine was running good but i parked it and it has been like this every since
- I have a 2000 Honda Civic with 140,000 miles on it. Do you think the timing belt has been changed? I read somewhere that they are supposed to be changed at 105,000 miles, or seven years. My car has a lot more miles than that, and twice the age. Do you think the belt has been changed before? Or is it possible it's the original belt? Would the original have lasted this long?
- Have a misfire in cylinder 1 on 99 Honda Accord lx. I change the timing belt. One I change the belt I turn the car on and it turn on normal? A couple minutes later I noticed the misfire can't tell from looking engine. I noticed it for the exhaust. No smoke was coming out. Took it apart to look at the timing and everything lines up. I saw the spark plugs and wires on cylinders 1 and 2 still no difference. Any ideas.
