Everything has been easy to get to and work on this 1997 Honda Civic except the thermostat. If I had the right extension the thermostat would be easy to replace. I will buy the extension I need.
A friend of mine who owns an older Honda Civic said it is a good idea to replace the coolant heat sensor because they can go bad and not read the correct temperature.
Within the next year I will probably replace every engine belt in the car, put a new water pump on and replace every radiator hose also. I'm planning on driving this car a very long time and the goal is to never break down. Plus I probably will drive this car on some long distance trips next summer.
