Cam belt

hello i have a 2004/53 ep3 with 64k.... is it correct that the cambelt was due @ 60k?

No, it doesn't have a cambelt. It uses a timing chain which will last the life of the engine provided it's service regularily.

You're not reading it wrong it's the site that's wrong, and not just on the cambelt.

Thats why i was a bit confused when you said it had a chain, but thanks for setting me straight.

Being nice I thought id email them, they have rightly pointed out that it covers all civics not just the EP3 but they are aware and the website will be changing to have columns added for the EP3/EK9 and also the DC5.
