No problem with the car but advised to have the timing belt changed after 100,000 miles (car has 122,000 miles now) I guess it involves other belts and water pump also. Sound right to you? Thanks, Gary

    Honda recommends replacing the timing belt on your 1998 Civic at 105,000 miles - you are over due. Repairs can be become very expensive if the belt were to brake. Replacing the water pump and accessory drive belts is commonly done along with the timing belt. It all sounds right to me.
