some how my sister's bolts broke on the alternator and messed up the serpentine belt..

i got a new serpentine belt but can't figure how to route it, can anybody give me a diagram or something.

i've search and only found the 2.0L one's nothing for the r18a1

help!!!!!

 

whats the length of the belt, a/c?

 

Didnt Honda have a service bulletin for that problem. The dealership was replacing the tensioner bolt and re-routing the belt in order to take off some stress. The TSB is 09-007. Call the dealership give them the VIN number if that bulletin applies tow the car over and have them fix it.

 

belt is 15/16" x 76 7/8"

 

i'll check up on that....thanks

 

i search and search and finally i came up on this, this is exactly what i'm looking for...and maybe some where along the way somebody else might be looking for it also, here u go...

 

This will be very useful.

Good find.

 

Another thing you might look for (for future reference).....usually the serpentine belt routing info is on a label somewhere in the engine bay. I haven't looked for it in the Civic so I am not sure where. Last car I replaced the belt on (mustang), the routing info was on the plastic panel at the front of the engine bay....right over the radiator next to the hood latch.
