Serpentine belt replacement?

[CivicXI]

Does the belt really need replacement only at 50-60k miles?

Nope, if the belt is not cracked and look good, you don't need to replace. These are not like the old "V" belts.

I’m at 107k miles and mine looks fine. Removed and inspected during 100k mile service and it looked great.

I will replace mine a 100K looking good or not

1-At 100k it is about time IMO
2-Not expensive
3-In case of breaking ; expensive damage

There is no expensive damage if it breaks. You're thinking of timing belt, this is a timing chain on this car.

Thank you, I might be wrong about serious damage

There aren't too many cars with timing belts anymore, most of the cars have a timing chain nowadays.

Could be kinda expensive if not caught right away. You wont have a water pump to circulate the coolant and could lead to a head gasket failure

Easy to spot, not water pump, no A/C and no alternator, all kind of lights on the dash..
Nothing like a timing belt failure

You'd be surprised. The Infiniti 3.0t is notorious for shredding serpentine belts and a lot of people have had head gasket and even turbo failures due to the coolant not circulating.

The serpentine belt does NOT drive the water pump on the 10th gen civic. The serpentine belt only drives the alternator and a/c compressor.

The TIMING CHAIN drives the cams and the water pump.

Nope, the water pump is driven by the serpentine belt.

Ahh nothing like typing in CAPS to show your confidence just to be proven wrong.
