1996 honda civic dx making squeaking noise Sign In

I have a 1996 honda civic dx engine type: d16y7 1.6 liter with $154000 miles on it.and I heard a squeaking noise coming from the engine it just started squeaking a little a few weeks ago when I would accelerate but now when the car is just parked it makes the noise now and it is even louder. I toke the car to my mechanic and he said I need to buy a pulley, water pump and timing belt. Well I was trying to call around to get a price quote but was unable to get a hold of my mechanic since he is out of town and I need to figure out what pulley it would be. Either the idler pulley or the crankshaft pulley. I do not have power steering so I know it is not the power steering belt that is squeaking. I do have ac if that is helpful in finding out which pulley it is that is needed. I know he was looking in the top front left corner of the car towards the bumper when he said the pulley needed to be replaced. I just do not want to guess and end up buying the wrong part.

There are multiple pulleys and tensioners that could be on there and your noise could be coming from any one of them. Unless you have an accurate diagnosis available, you could be buying something you don't need. This is something that needs to be identified in person.

?? Didn't think they made any of those cars without power steering??!! Taking belt off and spinning each pulley can help with things like this,

They apparently with the dx model, they have two different types of models for this car; one that is the basic version or one that is the fuel efficient one and the basic model one comes with no power steering and no power anything lol. Definitely sucks when your not used to not having power steering.
