184,000 miles when finally decided to change ours.. and it looked fine and could have gone a lot longer. Did the tensioner and the water pump at the same time.

Yours sounds bad, but is it the timing belt that sqeaks?

Psh, not me. I'd rather do another one on my Civic. At least that engine bay hasn't been a big FeO2 experiment

Daaaang. Wish I could say that. I was having issues with the rear calipers so I was changing the pads / rotors every year for two years. Now they don't even work...

I just bought a 2002 with only 36.5k on it...do I need to be concerned about the timing belt due to age? It has such low miles, and it's not recommended to be changed for a LONG time still. Any advice?

I figure if I make it anywhere near 100k I'll be doing pretty darn well. It's certainly something to keep an eye on though, I'm sure.

I changed mine at a little under 100K miles and the belt looked in great shape. The water pump's bearing was very gritty though.
