Q: How do you program a keyless remote for a 2002 Honda Civic Ex?
we recently got a used 2002 Honda Civic, but it did not come with any keyless entry remotes. we are planning on buying one or two remotes off of ebay, but we are unsure of how to program them and also where the FCC ID is located on the car. we checked on the frame of the driver-side door where there is a manufacturers label and a car information label, but could not find it. does anybody know how to program a 2002 Honda Civic keyless entry remote? or where to find the FCC ID on the car?

A: knowshon is right. If the vehicle had the key less entry system at one time it will work, but if the system was never there or if someone removed it , it will not work. If the contorl unit is there u just have to follow that procedure and it will work. Good luck!

Q: Can the 2002 Honda Civic LX Sedan be fitted with side airbags for front and rear passengers?
Can the 2002 Honda Civic LX Sedan be fitted with side airbags for front and rear passengers? And is there any website that I can find such information? Thanks.

A: Theoretically, it is possible but definitely not feasable. It’s not only the airbags that need to be installed, it’s also the computer components and impact sensors that need to be added. It might be a little easier but still obsenely expensive if honda offered a standard Civic modification with additional airbags but in this case, it would be cheaper to sell your car and replace it with another model.

Q: How can I make my 2002 Honda Civic Coupe look and drive more sporty on not too crazy a budget?
I have a 2002 Honda Civic Coupe Ex, white, not a scratch. I’m looking for some ways to juice up its power and make it look a little more sporty. (purchased this car for my son as a gift for finishing grad school. Would like it to appeal to a 24 year old male.) Any ideas? I’m not on the biggest budget but want to do what I can. Thanks!

A: As far as looks, you can lower it some and get aftermarket wheels for it.

For power, you can install aftermarket parts like a cold air intake, headers, and exhaust.

Either way, you’re spending some good money. Doing both will cost you a lot.

Q: How much would a transmission cost for a automatic 2002 honda civic?
I am having problems with my 2002 honda civic and will most likely need to get a new or rebuilt transmission. Does anyone know how much a new/rebuilt transmission plus labor would cost for a 2002 honda civic? Thanks for your help! : )

A: over 1000

Q: How much does a new transmission for a 2002 Honda civic cost, with installation?
I have a 2002 honda civic with a manual transmission, I have a real strong feeling that the transmission is about to go. How much do you think a new one is going to cost with installation?

A: The cost varies depending on which auto shop your getting serviced at. I’m going to go out on a limb and say you’re located in New Jersey? In that case a good place to start would be: http://www.autorepairinnewjersey.com/Category/Auto-Transmission/ But, make sure the cost involved isn’t anything larger than the sum of what your car is worth.

Good Luck!

Q: What is the lifespan of a 2002 Honda Civic EX?
What is the lifespan of a 2002 Honda Civic EX (Si model in Canada) if well maintained, following the factory recommended maintenance schedule? I am currently driving it with 175,000 km and would like to know how much longer can it run for? Thanks.

A: Yeah, 300,000 is a good bet. Don’t count on getting there without a few minor and maybe a moderate problem, but with the proper maintenance it should prove to be a dependable car through 300,000

Q: How much can I sell my 2002 Honda Civic Dx for?

Q: What is a fair price for this 2002 Honda Civic?
I am planning on buying a used 2002 Honda Civic LX from a private owner. The car has only had this one owner, and the car has been in one accident where someone rear-ended him. A new bumper was put on the car.

The car has an automatic transmission, power windows and doors, keyless entry, functioning air conditioning and radio, no scratches on the outside. It has about 43,000 miles on it.

The owner is asking for $9200 for the car which is a little more than I would want to spend. Is this a fair price or should the price be lower/higher?

I’ve consulted Kelly Blue Book but would like an educated estimate as well. Please only serious answers!
The car is a dark green and the interior is in great condition – the driver only drove it to a subway stop and back.
Also, I don’t know if this would have an effect on the price, but the car (and me) is located right outside of Boston, Mass.

A: Depands on color condition of tires interior and whether its what you really want around 6500 to 7500 is a fair price in my area for that same vehicle!

Q: How much will a sunroof cost for a 2002 Honda Civic?
Hey everyone, I was just wondering how much a sunroof for a 2002 Honda Civic would be? I acutally saw a Honda Civic with 2 sunroofs, that is my inspiration, but Im curious about the price. Not sure if I should go to my local Honda dealer and just ask them, but I live in Augusta, Georgia. Not sure if I would want to drive to Atlanta for the best deal either. Thanks for your help!!

A: i wouldn’t trust a sunroof unless its factory installed

Q: How do I know if my clutch is going bad in my 2002 honda civic?
I have a 2002 Honda Civic manual transmission and I think my clutch might be going bad how can I know for sure?

A: get out on the street and when your doing about 15-20 mph shift to 4th and floor it. If the car revs up but doesn’t seem to try and pull then the clutch is bad. If the car lugs and trys to pull the clutch is engaging and good.

Q: How much is a new transmission for a 2002 honda civic sedan?
I have a 2002 civic sedan with a blown transmission..
The dealer said $3,500 for a new transmission with 3 yr warranty & $2,500 for a used junk yard transmission with 70k miles with 1 yr warranty..
I know dealers overcharge so what really is the price of a new transmission?
Because i have $2,500 of disposable income & dont wanna blow it on a used transmission..

A: Although dealer prices are typically higher that is your only source for a NEW transmission. A rebuilt one (or rebuilding yours) will cost you probably just as much. AND don’t have a Honda tranny rebuilt by just anybody – get one from, or ship it out to a shop that specializes in Honda transmissions. It will probably cost you about $3,500.

So, if your car has somewhere over 70,000 miles on it, and you plan to trade it in within 3 or 4 years, get the used one. If you really plan to keep this car for another 5 years or longer, buy the new one.

Consider also that Honda transmissions are very very good, it yours failed in a 2002 civic, something happened to cause that failure. Make sure it doesn’t happen again.

If you like to gamble, work with a small mechanic shop and try to find a salvage transmission from a private party (not a wrecking yard) for less and get no warranty.

Really the difference is you are paying for the warranty. No warranty – $500 to $750. 30 day warranty $750 – $1000. 90 day warranty $1000- $1500.

I bought an automatic transmission for a civic project off Craigslist. Picked it up in an Arco parking lot. No documentation. The guy said it had about 70,000 miles on it. The guy said it had been under his deck for 4 years. The guy said there was nothing wrong with it. I gambled $70 plus a lot of labor and have 40,000 miles that I’ve put on that car since with no problems.

Good Luck

Q: Where is the coolant temp sensor in a 2002 honda civic si?
I have a 2002 civic si 2.0 i-vtech. troble code on obd2 testor says coolant temp to low to regulate. Everything points to a bad sensor.but i dont know where to find it. Any help would be great thx.

A: the electronic coolant temp sensor should be in the right side of the cylinder head below the air cleaner bellows. Take the air cleaner off and look down to side of the cylinder head. The ECT has a two terminal connector on it.

If your diagnosis leads you to replacing the sensor you need to make sure that the o-ring for the sensor is replaced when you install the new sensor.

I think that the code for ‘too low to regulate’ could also be caused by an engine thermostat that is hung open.

hope that helps

Q: What is the best deal for Extended auto warranty for 90-100k used 2002 Honda Civic and the price I can expect?
Is it cheaper and effective to get warranty through dealer? or online sites, like http://www.warrantydirect.com/. If I bought the vehicle from individual sales (not through dealer) then will it still be cheaper and effective to get warranty through them?

I know that most warranty won’t cover vehicle that has got milage beyond 100k.

A: There are so many ways to go with extended warranties that it is really your decision…benefits offered and prices vary all up and down the scale, so it would be best for you to look at as many as you “want” to, and compare the coverages/restrictions vs. prices…

You might try searching for a warranty comparison site too, I think they are out there in the ether world…

And yes, there are warranties over 100,000 miles, you just have to find them…

Now they are asking $11,700

4 door Sedan
47,000 miles
sunroof, CD player, power windows/locks
The dealer price was $12,700
They came down to $11,700
I had a mechanic check it out and he said it runs well
There was only one previous owner. Judging by the years and mileage I think it was mostly city miles put on the car

Good Luck

Q: blue light/LED flashing in honda civic 2002 hx?
I just bought a used 2002 honda civic hx, it has a blue LED that keeps flashing when I turned off the engine, the blue LED is on the left side of the dashboard, next to the “cruise” button. What the hell does the flashing mean? Also, the “coinbox” is broken, what is the coinbox for anyways? Is a broken coinbox an indicator that the car is stolen? Thank you so much.

A: I believe it is the security indicator.

Q: How can I get a replacement key for 2002 Honda Civic?
I have lost the one and only key that came with our used Honda Civic. I have read that the key will need to made by a dealership since it has a chip in it. Will the car need to be present to make a new copy of the key or can they make a copy with just the VIN? I would rather not pay to have it towed to the dealer.

A: if your 02 civic has the immobilizer system (and it probably does), then your keys have a chip in them, and your car has a receiver in it.

if you want a new key, you have two options.

1) get a copy made of your current key, and have the chip in the copy matched to the chip in your existing key.

or

2) have a new key cut for your car, and have the car re-programmed to recognize the new key.

since you don’t have any keys to copy, you’ll have to take your car to the dealer. the dealer can cut you a new key off the VIN, and they can program your car to recognize it.

it is possible to start a newer honda with an properly cut but unrecognized key, but there is a specific set of instructions involving the brake pedal to allow the car to start. your local dealer may or may not be willing to give you that info, it can be very difficult to do properly.

Q: how much i sell my used honda civic vtec engine for?

A: go on blue book and get the price. Or call a used store and find out how much they sell them for. Then go 200 or 300 lower. Good Luck

Q: Can a 2008 civic honda emblem be used on a 2002 civic?
So, my rear emblem on my 2002 civic coupe was stolen and I was looking for replacements. The only replacements I can seem to find are the new generation 2007-2008 model emblems or really old ones for EG6 or EK. I was wondering if I could just use the 2008 emblems since the rear of the new civic sedan looked like the same slope and curvature of my car.

A: no

Q: 14″ rims on 2002 Honda Civic EX?
I recently bought a used 2002 Honda Civic EX, and just found out that I have 14″ wheels on it, where the manufacturer calls for 15″ (it’s written on the inside of the front door). I want to find out if having smaller rims than what the car is built for is dangerous or can cause damage, or is it common pracitice to have 14″ rims on a car that call for 15″ (the car dealer said that it is common to have smaller rims, which I find hard to believe).
thanks for any help,
Y

A: With smaller rims you have less ground clearance.
but wait if you have high profile tires then the it should be ok.
but its always recommended to have the right tire size.

since its a used car i’ll tell ya exactly what must have happened.

the dealer must have bought it at an auction and it must have had its tires worn out and would have had nice alloys.

so the dealer to make little profit would have sold the original honda alloy rims to some to make $$$

and then gone to junkyard picked up the 5 lug or 4lug whatever tires from there for very less bucks and put em on.

maybe since the tires are new you wont find a difference

so now you know what you have to do.

take it to a proper mech, get em balanced and ask him if you need to change the wheels

The carfax report for the car is clean, but

http://www.carfax.com/car_safety/ratings/SRR.cfm/year/2002/make/HONDA/model/CIVIC/trim_id/2002HONDCPFCIVIC_EX

Transmission & Driveline An occasional problem on this vehicle is failure of the second gear clutch in the Automatic Transmission. This may cause the Automatic Transmission to slip, and the Check Engine Light to illuminate. Also, when the Automatic Transmission is rebuilt or replaced, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software needs to be updated. The cost to replace the Automatic Transmission is estimated at $1800 for a remanufactured Automatic Transmission and $318.50 for labor. The cost to update the PCM is estimated at $65 for labor. All prices are estimates based on $65 per flat rate hour and do not include diagnostic time or any applicable sales tax.

Im afriad if the car has this problem. Is there any way to check to make sure the car is good?

Thank you.

A: look for another civic

Good luck!

Q: I banged up my car’s doors, what should I do?
It’s a black 2002 Acura 1.7 EL (A Honda Civic in a tuxedo for your Americans, as it’s a Canada only model)

155 km on it

No fundamental mechanical problems, and runs beatuifully, gets great mileage (35 mpg)

the car has a resale value of approx. 9-11k

i bought it for 12.5k in 2006. paid in full.

I just scraped/dented up the doors on the rear and front passenger’s side of the car while driving out of an underground parking lot and trying to avoid a truck that was coming down an on-ramp. my dumb.

anyways, here are my options:

a) get it fixed on the low for a $1000

b) go through my insurance (i have a $1000 deductible) and get it fixed nicely, new panels everything…

c) sell the car and take it out of the re-sale value, and buy another car (i can afford it, and im only willing to pay in full)

d) keep driving til the wheels fall off and try to ignore the constant ugly reminder of my mistake

What would you do?

it’s not just a scratch..

it’s a dent on the front passenger door

dent on the rear passenger door

and a dent on the rear panel

and a nice white scratch all the way through, lol
a bodyshop was like if i go through insurance, their quote was nearly $3000

A: Things like that would annoy me. If your insurance rates wont go up go through them if not find a good body shop and see if its worth it compared to blue book value to do it. If not then sell it. but id try to get it fixed.

http://www.carfax.com/car_safety/ratings/SRR.cfm/year/2002/make/HONDA/model/CIVIC/trim_id/2002HONDCPFCIVIC_EX

Transmission & Driveline An occasional problem on this vehicle is failure of the second gear clutch in the Automatic Transmission. This may cause the Automatic Transmission to slip, and the Check Engine Light to illuminate. Also, when the Automatic Transmission is rebuilt or replaced, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software needs to be updated. The cost to replace the Automatic Transmission is estimated at $1800 for a remanufactured Automatic Transmission and $318.50 for labor. The cost to update the PCM is estimated at $65 for labor. All prices are estimates based on $65 per flat rate hour and do not include diagnostic time or any applicable sales tax.

Im afriad if the car has this problem. Is there any way to check to make sure the car is good?

Thank you.

A: look for another civic

Good luck!

Q: WHere is the best place to oreder honda civic parts? I have a 2002 ex i need replacement parts?

A: If your looking for OEM Honda replacement parts, a dealership can be expensive. All oem parts are available w/ diagrams showing detailed pieces (small bolts, plastic pieces) on www.TheHondaPartsStore.com . If your looking for larger pieces (brake rotors, calipers, brake pads, radiator, etc) a lot of the parts are found in AutoZone, and are quite good. I would reccomend autozone if you dont really care about the brand. Personally I have to get all OEM, if not, repitable aftermarket racing parts for my Honda. Never settle for cheap parts if your budget can surfice. Be good to your honda, and it will be good to you =) Hope this was helpful!

Q: Need VERY cheap HONDA CIVIC PARTS?
I just got into a car accedent…insurance had run out. Everything is coming out of my pocket and I need to find a hood, driverside light, bumper and basically everything for front drivers side, oh and air bags. I have a 2002 Civic dx 4 dr PLEASE HELP!!!

Q: I need to repair or replace the transmission in my 2002 Honda Civic (122k miles) Which is the best option?
-Repair the tranny (which is covered 2yrs/24k miles) $2500
-Install a used tranny with 22k miles on it $2250 installed (6 mo parts coverage)
-Install a used tranny with 74k miles on it $1250 installed (30 day parts coverage)
It is manual.
I had two different places tell me a similar thing. With similar price options.

A: there all way to expensive and being an 02 model there should be a good few trannys floating around, its only around $200 – $300 depending on where you go to replace a tranny, find your own tranny, the auto repair shops put about 30% on top of cost price, but in your case its sounds more like about 150% on top, call local honda or asian auto recyclers or any second hand/used parts supplies and ask them for a price you may have to haggle abit but they will come down in price, they often do, find a good one and call a workshop and ask them how much to fit a tranny and that you have one already and i guarantee you, you will be pleasantly surprised what the total is..

Q: which type of octane gas should i use on my 2002 honda civic?
i’ve been using regular 87 octane because i have no performance parts just stock.

A: Yea, use standard 87 octane. Its basically all the same, so your best off with the cheapest Occasionally run a higher grade through it if you want too, just to clean out some sludge and what not.

Q: How do you open the door panel of a 2002 honda civic to get to motor or window regulator? Please?
How much does the part cost and is it tough to do?

A: you take out the window switch, inside mirror trim, and the screws, and pull the panel off. Motor and Regulator are one unit, It has a cable type. If the cable failed, you probably have drag from the window channels, you will need to clean/ maybe replace them too, or you’ll kill the new one. unless the civic’s an si, the whole unit’s only about $75. for an si, it’s about $225.

Q: Help with a honda civic 2002 broken tail light cover?
I’ve got a busted honda civic 2002 passenger side brake light cover.

How much would it reasonably cost to be replaced at a dealer, vs. at a garage… breaking out parts and labor… just so i don’t sound dumb when i talk to them.

and how much is the part really, and would i be able to replace it myself with regular tools?

thanks so much

A: Buy it from a salvage yard for 1/2 of new and do it yourself with normal hand tools.

Q: How much would it cost to have a transmission replaced on a 2002 honda civic Lx?
I would appreciate the amount for a transmission new (part), refurb (part) and the cost (hours and price) of having a professional do it; if oyu guys wouldn’t mind! Also, would prefer if a mechanic could/would answer! THANKS!

A: About $1500 and 4 days for the shop to do the job

Q: How do I get the panel off the door on my 2002 honda civic?
How hard would it be for a non mechanic to replace the window motor on passenger front side? Do I need special tools?Where do I start?Is the part expensive?THANKS for any info

A: I own both a 2002 Civic and Accord and while I haven’t had the door panel off the Civic, I have had the rear drivers door apart on the Accord to replace the window regulator. Thinking about that experience combined with what I would expect in the Civic, you should be able to do it with just basic tools, screwdriver… metric wrenches.

The most important thing to remember is DON’T FORCE IT. If it doesn’t do what you think “it” should be doing stop and check your actions before you break something… with so many plastic clips and fasteners you’ll save yourself time with a little caution.

Now, if my memory serves you should be able to find the seam at the bottom of the door and loosen the panel there, then work your way around the edge – there should just be clips every so far that just pull away from the door with a little pressure. There are probably about eight clips holding the door panel down to the actual door. As you pull the door panel off, watch for all the wiring, there’s probably quite a bit if you have power door locks, windows, etc.

For the motor once you have the panel off, disconnect the wiring to the motor.. there’s probably a multi-prong plug with a “clip” which you have to depress to get it to let loose. When you take the motor out be careful as the metal outline of the door can really tear up your hands. Once you’ve got the old motor out figuring out how to put the old one back should be easy to do (manuvering the new motor into the door can be a pain in the butt).

I’m not sure as to the cost of a new motor… my guess would be it’ll be something you can only get from the dealer so expect $75 or more.

Also, I did not disconnect the power when I worked on my window regulator but it’s probably not a bad idea to disconnect the power to the windows by removing the fuse for that system.

Good luck.

Q: Does any one know how to reprogram the ECU on a honda civic ex 2002?

A: Hondata

Q: Can anyone give me an estimate for body repair for a 2002 Honda Civic LX?
I was recently in an accident in my 2002 Honda Civic LX (my fault unfortuantely, it was raining, I was braking to go around a curve, and my car hydroplaned into the other guy) and there is some damage to the front of my car. The bumper will most likely need to be replaced (front drivers side was partially pulled off about 6 inches), the front fender is dented (looks like it could be hammered out), the drivers side corner of the hood is bent (about a half inch of it) and the headlight cover is shattered (possibly need a new headlight, but doesn’t look like there’s any damage to the wiring and the bulbs are still working and in tact). I don’t care about paint, but I do need my bumper reattached/replaced. Anyone know a ballpark cost and possibly a good body shop in the Northern VA area? If I can save money by buying the parts myself that would be awesome.

A: Ballpark……about $1500+ for a decent job.

Q: Honda Civic 2002 4 door sedan rear tire bearings?
How much does it cost (part labor) to replace the bearings on my two rear wheels. Prolly a pothole i hit. Sound increases as i speed up.

A: You may have a bent wheel or a tire out of round. I doubt it;s a wheel bearing. Have a shop put it in the air and spin the rear wheels. Good Luck!

Q: where can i find cheap front struts for 2002 honda civic?
im fixing a car and looking for the cheapest 2002 honda civic front struts… i found them for around 100$ each.. are they cheaper anywhere else.. online stores?

A: Two sites you should check out
Its unusual for struts to blow out on a 5 year old civic. typically they’re good for much longer. usually you’ll have tire cupping as an indication of a bad strut. you can’t see when there is a gas leak from a cartridge but in most cases if the gas leaks out past a seal the oil follows shortly and you’ll find oil leaking from the struts is about the only indication of a ‘bad’ strut other than the tire cupping.

Here are two references for you; I’ve used both and they seem to have the best prices and service levels

autoparts warehouse
http://www.autopartswarehouse.com
they have KYB struts for $87. that brand is one of the best; also available through tire rack

Q: Is it OK to use premium gas on a 2002 honda civic sedan?
I use to use shell regular gas on my 80,000 mile civic but now with gas being so cheap i have started using shell premium gasoline. Is that Ok for the car or a bad thing?

A: it is fine to use either, the computer in certain circumstances will advance the timing slightly more if you use the higher octane fuel, it does after all react to pre-detonation knocking, which might give you a slight advantage, however, for regular driving there is not an advantage to purchasing the more costly fuel….

Q: How to program a keyless entry remote for 2002 Honda Civic?
I just bought a 2002 Honda Civic LX. I want to get a key fob for keyless entry. Does the transmitter to use a key fob come standard on this model? And what model key fob would I need? Will it open the trunk/where should I look to see it the car has an actuator for this feature?

Also I went to Lowes to copy the key. They said since it has a chip in it I have to go to the dealer to get a key. I just wanted a copy for the doors, but they said “we’re not allowed.” Where is the cheapest place to get a copy with a chip, or is anyone “allowed” to copy a key with a transponder chip just for doors.

Thank you in advance!!

A: on the 2002 civic the Keyless Entry was standard on the EX model and an available dealer installed option on the LX model. the factory keyless entry could not be installed on the DX model because the DX has manual door locks.

If the car is an LX you need to have the dealer order and install the keyless entry system. (you can install it yourself if you’re comfortable with working on the car and taking the dash panel apart; otherwise, have the dealer do it) The keyless entry includes the transceiver/control unit that is at the heart of the system and the remotes. The control unit plugs into the existing harness or uses a factory ’subharness’ for all the connections. It is a factory accessory that is made for the car and requires no modifications to install. I had one installed on my daughters 2003 LX and you would never know it didn’t come with the car.

On the key issue, the only place you can get the key is at a Honda dealer. The chip will have to be programmed to match the existing key if you want it to start the car. You can have the key duplicated to open the doors without starting the car by taking the key to any local locksmith and having them do it. Most locksmiths and all dealers require proof that you own the car before they will duplicate the key because of liability issues.

hope that answers your questions

Q: is it possible to get a cheaper price on a 2002 honda civic LX its $6,000?
THE CAR SELLS FOR $6000. ON THE AD IT SAYS IT HAS 105,000 MILES ON IT, BUT ON THE CAR REPORT IT SAYS IT HAS 176,000 MILES… ARE HONDAS STILL RELIABLE WITH THAT MANY MILES IF VERY WELL TAKEN CARE FOR? I NEED A HONDA OWNER OR EXPERT TO ANSWER THIS. HELP!!!!

A: you can always go to those govt car auction to get a good deal. my dad got a honda with less than 9k at the time which was 01 and was the same year for around $10 thousand. but always bring someone that knows alot about cars with you to get a car.

Q: Clicking sound problem in my shift knob / shifter when in Park – 2002 Honda Civic ex auto trans?
I have a 2002 Honda Civic EX Auto Trans. When the car is in Park there is a clicking/popping sound in my shift knob. I can feel something is moving.

Yet when I press brake or when the car is in reverse, neutral, drive, or any gear..this doesn’t happen. Car drives fine and no slip on transmission, I have been driving this car for more than 6 months. It just annoy me a bit and want to know if it can be fix for cheap. Or if some1 can identify the cause to this problem to me.

I asked my mechanic he said he have to open it up and see what is the problem. I ask him how much he said it depends on # labor hours.

Thanks for your help.
10 hours ago – 4 days left to answer.

It doesn’t just click once. The clicking sound continues non stop. Sometime it click once every 20sec sometime it click non stop every sec.
The problem is the shift interlock mechanism is moving on its own (thats how the continous clicking sound are make), is there any solution to this?

A: that is the shift interlock mechanism. it is a solenoid that keeps your shifter locked in park when you leave the car some where. i have heard this happen in a few different cars but i have yet to see it as a problem or see a solution to it.

Q: What is the best deal for Extended auto warranty for 90-100k used 2002 Honda Civic and the price I can expect?
Is it cheaper and effective to get warranty through dealer? or online sites, like http://www.warrantydirect.com/. If I bought the vehicle from individual sales (not through dealer) then will it still be cheaper and effective to get warranty through them?

I know that most warranty won’t cover vehicle that has got milage beyond 100k.

A: There are so many ways to go with extended warranties that it is really your decision…benefits offered and prices vary all up and down the scale, so it would be best for you to look at as many as you “want” to, and compare the coverages/restrictions vs. prices…

You might try searching for a warranty comparison site too, I think they are out there in the ether world…

And yes, there are warranties over 100,000 miles, you just have to find them…

Q: 2002 Honda Civic Cold Air Intake?
Does anyone who understands intake systems better than me know whether or not buying an EP3 COLD AIR INTAKE which is about $200 cheaper will have near the same results as a K&N one? I know that K&N is the top brand and manufacturer.

A: From what I understand, the intake is just metal tubing and will give you the same results.

The real results are in the filter, so get yourself a reputable filter and slap it on your intake. You should be good.

Just don’t stick with the filter it comes with, I bought an Ebay intake a while back and the filter it came with started shriveling up so bad it started ripping.

Q: 2002 honda civic Si?
it has 64000 miles and the dealer is asking 8900 but the kelly blue book value is 11000 do you think there is somthing wrong with the car or are they just pricing it cheap

A: They may just not want it. Like everyone else, test drive it, and drive it HARD, like you stole it. Accelerate, brake, and corner hard. Take it to a mechanic and ask his opinion. CARFAX it.

Q: Hey, I have a 2002 Honda Civic DX. I nailed a curb at about 40mph. There is no shaking, but the tire clicks.?
Actually, my friend who I let drive nailed it trying to get off the highway too late for the exit. Basically, we nailed that thing at about 40-45mph. So I thought the worst. But all we heard was a clicking and the steering was more or less exactly as it was before (I took the reigns after said accident). We swapped the spare on and the inner edge and outer edge of the rim (this is a cheap-o stock rim) had significant bends in them. It looks like the inner bump on the rim could’ve been knocking the caliper/brake pads and that was causing the knocking. Any advice on costs and possible outlook? Everything drives straight and true (given that I’m rollin’ on a 10″ spare, at least) so is it possible that the only damage was to the rim?

A: You should remove your caliper, brake pads, caliper mount, and brake rotor. Inspect the bolts and screws to see if any of them have loosen, stripped, or snapped; replace if damaged. New bolts should cost less than $10. Use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts back to specification.

Also check the brake rotor shield to see if it has been bent against the brake rotor – just bend it back.

If there’s still some clicking, your CV joints may have been damaged. It will cost $70 for a new axle with CV joints. You’ll need a strong impact wrench to loosen the axle nut and a ball joint remover to lift the hub off of the bottom arm joint.

Good luck!

Q: How do I get my parents to get me a sports car?
I’m 16, i’m asian, and i’ve had my eye on the 2002 toyota celica (stock)

now, i know what you’re thinking ( teenager + sports car = death). thing is, i’m a good driver (99% on drivers test, never speed more than 2 mph over speed limit), and i’m relatively responsible by comparison (i don’t want to sound like i’m bragging, but it’s fact). I qualify for good student discount (3.97 cumulative GPA, 7 AP classes, etc.), and the car i’m looking at is relatively inexpensive ($6,000; could probably haggle down to ~$5,000 or so). Unfortunately, i can’t pay for the car or the insurance, because getting a job would “interfere with my studies ” (asian parents, remember). My parents want to get me some POS 1990 jeep cherokee, but i’ve seen those, and those crumple into tiny metal balls when they hit anything bigger than a rabbit (supposedly, even the celica i want does better in crash tests).

so, basically, what i’m asking is what to tell my parents to try and get me that car. If it’s way too much to ask, are there any better alternatives (i only really care about the chassis; i couldn’t care less about the engine, turbo, etc.).

thanks

p.s. please don’t say honda civic; i could throw a rock out the window and hit 20 honda civics from where i’m sitting

A: Several methods you may think about.Like call your local insurance agent or do some researches on the internet,you should get the idea.

Q: Best place to buy 2002 Honda Civic SI OEM fenders NOT from the dealership?
I just need a drivers side fender because I kinda hit a tree. No way I’m going through a dealership for one because they just jack the price up. It doesn’t even have to be a real Honda one. As long as it’s for the 2002 Honda Civic SI
We don’t have public junkyards around here. You have to have a permit to deal with cars or fix them or whatever in order to go into a place where you pull your parts. So, that’s out of the question. Already tried.

A: salvage yard or dealer that is your options or search for it online

Q: What are the best speakers to buy for a 2002 Honda Civic coupe?
When I bought the car, the stereo was replaced but I would like to replace the factory speakers with after market ones.

A: If you are going with mid range speakers for the doors and back then go with pionner or alpine,if you are going with subs then go with Kicker Comp subs.

Q: would you rather buy 2002 honda civic for 5 grand or 2005 honda civic for 6 grand? (mileage same)?

A: Probably the 2005 honda civic because it is newer and only $1000 more!

Q: What would you pay for buying a 2002 Honda Civic EX 4-door sedan?
What would you pay for buying a 2002 Honda Civic EX 4-door sedan, 67,000 miles, single owner, well-maintained, one scratch on side of passenger door, Automatic transmission, FWD, power steering/windows/locks, keyless entry, CD player, cruise control, ABS, sun roof, front and side airbags, alarm system, snow tires with alloy wheels from a private seller? Or where would you start the negotiating price?
The seller is asking $10k for the vechile.

A: Wholesale reports

You would probably pay $1800 to $2000 above wholesale.. Hope this helps

Q: What would you pay for buying a 2002 Honda Civic EX 4-door sedan?
What would you pay for buying a 2002 Honda Civic EX 4-door sedan, 67,000 miles, single owner, well-maintained, one scratch on side of passenger door, Automatic transmission, FWD, power steering/windows/locks, keyless entry, CD player, cruise control, ABS, sun roof, front and side airbags, alarm system, snow tires with alloy wheels from a private buyer? Or where would you start the negotiating price?
The seller is asking $10,000 for the vechile.

A: well if you look on the kelly blue book site, the prices would go as follows:

Excellent
$10,870

Good
$10,155

Fair
$9,220

So take a look at the condition of it and see what it falls under. Im assuming from what you say it probably falls into either excellent or at least good. I would say start at $8500 at go up. I wouldn’t go over the kelly blue book price though. Get a carfax report if you can too, make sure its got non accidents or anything reported.

Q: I just bought a 2002 honda civic and i was wondering what i can do to take it faster?
I am looking to boost the power on my 2002 civic. what can i do and where can i get the best deals?

A: you could get an adjustable muffler/tailpipe. you can adjust it to let more or less airflow in, thus increasing/decreasing torque and horsepower in the engine

Q: Is better to buy a brand new Kia Rio under warranty or buy a 1998-2002 Honda Civic with 80,000-100,000 miles?

A: And the answer is….a 10-20000 mile used car coming out of fleet service, these cars are eligible for manufacturers service contracts which always use NEW parts to cover any service claim, not used or rebuilt—-CARMAX service policy, and most other non factory.
You should find a very fuel efficient dependable car, might have to search a bit for an import since most do business with U.S. manufacturers, but regard less the best buy

Q: How to buy a Honda Civic Type R in the USA?
I would like to know how to buy a 2002~2005 Honda Civic Type R (RHD NOT LHD I would just get a SI and K20 swap it if I wanted a LHD).
Were to buy in the USA or how to import one.

Allso if you know a price range.

Thanks

A: I’d rather take the LHD K20 swap, bot that’s just me. I tried japaneseusedcars.com, and the cheapest RHD Type R was 1,450,000 yen, which is approx. 12,378.10 USD. So, it’s your choice. Me, I like this one. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda-Civic-JDM-97-CIVIC-HATCH-TYPE-R-MOTOR-EK-FAST_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6256QQihZ019QQitemZ290044562828QQrdZ1)

Q: How much to put in an AC unit in a Honda civic 2002?
Hi I am planning to buy a honda civic 2002 with 115 miles on it. I like the car but the only issue I have with the car is that it doesnt have an A/C unit. Weird!!!
Now my question is how much does it cost to put in a A/C unit in a Honda civic 2002? whether its even possible/practical? i would really appreciate if anybody could give me an estimate of expenses

A: if buying all the parts new and getting it put on you are looking a about $2,000-$2,500 total cost with labor.

Q: How to program a keyless entry remote for 2002 Honda Civic?
I just bought a 2002 Honda Civic LX. I want to get a key fob for keyless entry. Does the transmitter to use a key fob come standard on this model? And what model key fob would I need? Will it open the trunk/where should I look to see it the car has an actuator for this feature?

Also I went to Lowes to copy the key. They said since it has a chip in it I have to go to the dealer to get a key. I just wanted a copy for the doors, but they said “we’re not allowed.” Where is the cheapest place to get a copy with a chip, or is anyone “allowed” to copy a key with a transponder chip just for doors.

Thank you in advance!!

A: on the 2002 civic the Keyless Entry was standard on the EX model and an available dealer installed option on the LX model. the factory keyless entry could not be installed on the DX model because the DX has manual door locks.

If the car is an LX you need to have the dealer order and install the keyless entry system. (you can install it yourself if you’re comfortable with working on the car and taking the dash panel apart; otherwise, have the dealer do it) The keyless entry includes the transceiver/control unit that is at the heart of the system and the remotes. The control unit plugs into the existing harness or uses a factory ’subharness’ for all the connections. It is a factory accessory that is made for the car and requires no modifications to install. I had one installed on my daughters 2003 LX and you would never know it didn’t come with the car.

On the key issue, the only place you can get the key is at a Honda dealer. The chip will have to be programmed to match the existing key if you want it to start the car. You can have the key duplicated to open the doors without starting the car by taking the key to any local locksmith and having them do it. Most locksmiths and all dealers require proof that you own the car before they will duplicate the key because of liability issues.

hope that answers your questions

Q: What is the best amp to buy ($200-$350) for a 2002 Honda Civic LX coupe?
I installed two after-market pioneer speakers but I dont think my car’s deck can support it so I need to get an amp.

A: it depends on what you will have hooked up to the amp. Most head units can have an amp hooked up to them. If the speakers you bought are midranges or tweeters, you wont need much power. If they are subs, you want to try to match the their power rating to the amp. example: 400w sub—–>300-400w mono amp (both rms), double for 2 speakers

Q: Where can i buy a second hand automatic gearbox for a 2002 honda civic 1.6 executive.?
The automatic gearbox on my Honda civic has gone and i’ve been told that a new one would be £3,000!!! I’ve been trying to find a second hand one for ages and just cant find one – i need your help desperately please!

A: Hi Sugababe. Have you considered a third option? Have your existing gearbox rebuilt. I don’t know where you are, but a couple of links in my area (Manchester) are:-
www.automatictransmissions.co.uk (John Lugo, a long established and well trusted firm, and John himself is a great guy)
www.carvertrnsmission.co.uk (another Manchester based firm, but I believe they do mail order)
Also try Exchange & Mart, Auto Express,Local yellow pages. £3k sounds a hell of a lot of bread to me sunshine.Good luck

Q: I have a 2002 honda civic, trying to buy an exhaust tip. What size should I buy? and what size is the orginal?

A: The size varies by trim line, but the stock tip is fairly small, like 1.5 inches.

Honestly, unless youre going to install an exhaust system, I wouldnt go any bigger than two inches.

Q: What is a fair price for this 2002 Honda Civic?
I am planning on buying a used 2002 Honda Civic LX from a private owner. The car has only had this one owner, and the car has been in one accident where someone rear-ended him. A new bumper was put on the car.

The car has an automatic transmission, power windows and doors, keyless entry, functioning air conditioning and radio, no scratches on the outside. It has about 43,000 miles on it.

The owner is asking for $9200 for the car which is a little more than I would want to spend. Is this a fair price or should the price be lower/higher?

I’ve consulted Kelly Blue Book but would like an educated estimate as well. Please only serious answers!
The car is a dark green and the interior is in great condition – the driver only drove it to a subway stop and back.
Also, I don’t know if this would have an effect on the price, but the car (and me) is located right outside of Boston, Mass.

A: Depands on color condition of tires interior and whether its what you really want around 6500 to 7500 is a fair price in my area for that same vehicle!

Q: Should I buy a cold air intake system for my 2002 Honda Civic Dx or is it better to just buy a better air filt?
Ive been hearing a lot of negative things about installing a new col air intake system on any car and the only time you get the benefit of the extra horse power is if you are racing at 100 miles an hour. so is it better to save the money on the intake system and just buy a really good air filter? Will the air filter improve horse power and gas mileage?

A: You won’t feel any gain, its a small amount of power. A cold air is too much of a hydrolock risk on a DD. Either just change the filter or get a Short-ram.

Q: Where can I find instructions online (with pictures) for removal of a factory stereo for my 2002 Honda Civic?

Q: Can a Honda Civic 2002 ex coupe get its lower control arm bushing replace?
I have a 2002 honda civic ex coupe. And my front lower control arm bushing is wear out. Can I just replace the bushing for this car? or do I have to replace the whole control arm. (I heard some car control arm bushing cant be replace so i want to make sure before I order the bushing online.)

A: I had an acura (honda) and i had to replace the whole tierod because the bushing did not come separately. However, on my Nissan, the bushing did come separately. Since your car is a Honda, there maybe lots of cheaper aftermarket bushings and/or control arms available for your car and most garages can make this repair quickly and cheaply (labor).

Q: where can i find cheap front struts for 2002 honda civic?
im fixing a car and looking for the cheapest 2002 honda civic front struts… i found them for around 100$ each.. are they cheaper anywhere else.. online stores?

A: Two sites you should check out
Its unusual for struts to blow out on a 5 year old civic. typically they’re good for much longer. usually you’ll have tire cupping as an indication of a bad strut. you can’t see when there is a gas leak from a cartridge but in most cases if the gas leaks out past a seal the oil follows shortly and you’ll find oil leaking from the struts is about the only indication of a ‘bad’ strut other than the tire cupping.

Here are two references for you; I’ve used both and they seem to have the best prices and service levels

autoparts warehouse
http://www.autopartswarehouse.com
they have KYB struts for $87. that brand is one of the best; also available through tire rack

Hope that helps

Thank You.

A: go to autozone or the local car scrapers yard you maybe able to find the original shock or strut just did my back ones yesterday and used the auto zone ones and striped the parts off the old ones to replace the new struts

Q: How many different VTEC motors did a 2002 Honda civic EX come with?
I know this Civic is a 1.7 Liter. I am trying to order Seals for the VTEC assembly. And I’m seeing all these different seal configerations.

A: There was only 1 as I see it. The D17A2.

Q: Need an estimate on replacing a car hood for a 2002 2dr Honda Civic LX?
Need to know what price to expect when I take my car in for repairs. A ballpark estimate would be great, I know an exact estimate is not possible online. I just need to know if my tax check would cover the repairs. The hood needs to be replaced on a white 2002 2dr Honda Civic LX. Thanks!

A: I`M IN ONTARIO CANADA I DID ONE LAST YEARS IT COST ME $ 255 WITH PAINT SO IT WAS $ 120 PART AND THE REST WAS FOR PAINT AND LABOUR

Q: What is the best deal for Extended auto warranty for 90-100k used 2002 Honda Civic and the price I can expect?
Is it cheaper and effective to get warranty through dealer? or online sites, like http://www.warrantydirect.com/. If I bought the vehicle from individual sales (not through dealer) then will it still be cheaper and effective to get warranty through them?

I know that most warranty won’t cover vehicle that has got milage beyond 100k.

A: There are so many ways to go with extended warranties that it is really your decision…benefits offered and prices vary all up and down the scale, so it would be best for you to look at as many as you “want” to, and compare the coverages/restrictions vs. prices…

You might try searching for a warranty comparison site too, I think they are out there in the ether world…

And yes, there are warranties over 100,000 miles, you just have to find them…

Q: Does any one know how to reprogram the ECU on a honda civic ex 2002?

A: Hondata

Q: 2002 honda civic ex coupe transmission?
i was thinking of buying this car it drove nicely but i looked it up online and many people were saying that there were transmission problems with it failing and slipping and i realized while i was driving it i was holding the gas down to about 50 mph and i gently took my foot off the gas and it seem like it downshifted abruptly and i lost speed very quickly. it didnt seem normal as compared to my current car, which i know has a transmission that is fine. maybe its just me cuz im not used to driving a honda, but is that normal or is that a sign that the transmission isnt going to be good

A: the transmission is failing you get it fixed as soon as possible or get a new one

Q: 2003 Dodge Neon SE or 2002 Honda Civic Si?
ok, i am currently stationed in italy, but will be moving to virginia this saturday. i am looking at cars online because i will need to find a car as soon as i possibly can when i get there. I am expecting a child, so obviously i would like a good reliable car. the neon is a 4 door, consumer ratings arent too bad, and there has only been 5 recalls on that model (plus there’s crash test ratings on the site for that vehicle). on the other hand the civic is nice too, only 2 door (which is a little more inconvenient if transporting a baby seat, but its do-able), however it has 16 recalls on that model no crash test ratings on the site (which is the same site as the neon is on) BUT consumer ratings are great! if anyone has any experience with either of these cars to recommend one, i would greatly appreciate the feedback!

A: Honda Civic is typically more reliable. The recalls that are shown on the cars.com are mainly for headlights which, is not a big deal.

I suggest to look up www.autotrader.com for cars being listed in your area. Here are some of the cars you might want to consider:

Toyota Corolla
Nissan Altima
Ford Focus
Mazda 3

Q: Honda Civic 2002 Shift Lock?
I have been doing a lot of research online about my shift lock problem with Honda’s. I’ve checked the following items in my car and I still can’t get my car out of park:

1) the brake switch (Good All brakes lights works)
2) the shift-interlock solenoid (Looks good and clean)

I am not getting any power going to shift-interlock solenoid or the automatic power light which leads up the shifter at night.

Please help! I’ve checked all of the fuses and they all look good.
John I did what you asked me to do, but still no blown fuse. I am tried of this problem.

A: sometimes they put a over ride switch on it its usually under the steering wheel or its next to the shifter. it s got a small cover on it, take it off and use somthing to press in there and it should release it. try that. that or look for a fuse thats blown

Q: Where can I order a new car hood online?

I have already tried “junk” dealers in the area and they have only older Honda cars. Thanks!

A: try this site:

Q: honda civic stereo help?
im installing a honda civic 2002 year model

im helping a friend put in a subwoofer and amp in this car and ive installed a sub before but it was in a easy to take apart toyota. this civic has a ton of panels and im not sure how to take them off without damaging the car. does anyone know of a walk through online to help me take off the panels? Thank you very much

A: First thing you need to do is remove the piece of the dash that has the lighter plug and pocket. It is held in using only clips. A good way to remove it us to insert your fingers of your right hand into the pocket palm up and stick your thumb in the lighter plug. Grip and it should pull straight out, it takes a bit of force.

Get down low and you will see two screws towards the right side of the opening. Remove these so you can pull out the part of the dash that houses the radio and AC controls.

To remove this part of the dash, it is best to reach up inside the dash and find something to push this part out enough that you can get your fingers under it. It takes some force to push this out; it is connected with 5 clips. Once it is out, remove all the plugs, and remove the 3 screws that hold the climate controls in. Now you can remove the stock head unit and install your new one.

Q: Replacing a Honda Civic Serpentine Belt Tensioner.?
Hubby was driving to work and the serpentine belt on his Honda Civic Si 2002 Hatchback came off, luckly he was parking when it happened. This stupid car has been into Honda three times in the past couple of months and each time some other part has to be replace. (AC compressor, water pump) Now this belt comes off, and I find out that this belt is connected to both those parts, honda says to bad for you now pay us more. Anyways my question is how long can the car run without this belt (to get it to a shop without being towed) and is this gonna be costly? I can’t seem to find any prices online for the tensioner (which Honda also replaced), the belt is still intact so that probably doesn’t need to be replaced. Needless to say we are taking it to a different shop than Honda. Does anyone know how many “shop hours” will this take?
we spoke with the manager and we are contacting the better business bureau once we find out the exact problem from another mechanic. Honda is pretty much blaming it on the fact that instead of paying $300 for a water pump from them, we bought one for $100 from Lordco (which is still good quality and has nothing to do with the belt tensioner that im aware of). We have decided not to go back to Honda and if there is serious damage caused by them that they wont fix we will be suing them.

A: umm if Honda just recently replaced the tensioner, id talk to the general manager of the dealership and demand they look at it for free.

Q: can i put the front end of a 02 rsx on a 98 honda civic?
my friend is paring out his 2002 rsx, and i was looking online at convertion kits fro my 96 2dr civic, i was wondering is it possible to take the front onf the rsx and put it on my civic?

A: you can but its not a direct fit….you have to do somewhat major modifications to make it fit and line up correctly.

google search civic rsx front end conversion im sure something will pop up.
