Its an automatic civic 1.7l Non vtec 2000 model




i dont know much about honda's and have not had time to check out the car itself, but i thought id ask you all because you'd probably experienced this before

Problems:

1) it makes a LOUD whining noise when shes reversing (AT transmission)

2) when she starts the car it makes a EEE EEE EEE EEE noise, soudns like a squeaking belt, however noise goes away after a few minutes

if i were to lube the belts should i jsut use WD-40?

any help would be much appreciated!

 

NAPA sells a belt dressing but its better to just replace the belt that stuff dries the belts out anyway

 

Ya it sounds like its the accessory belts. Get them replaced, and keep in mind that they will make noises if they are too tight or too loose.

Oh and by they way a 2000 civic is a 1.6L from the factory

thats why i was tryin to figure out walmart also sells some stuff like that my bud used it and it went right away. only took the full can to do it

 

The whirring noise in reverse is normal...reverse is a straighcut gear and so it makes that funny noise...normal on all cars.

 

any bar soap will fix a squeekey belt just start the car and hold the soap along the belt and move around till sound stops
