Gates 96-98 Honda Civic 4-Cyl 1.6L A.C. Belt

When you're working on your Honda Civic from 1996 to 1998, you'll find this Gates accessory belt in the box. This is the belt that drives your air conditioning compressor, so if your A/C isn't blowing cold, this is a common part to check. It's designed to fit a wide range of vehicles, including popular models like the Acura Integra and Chevrolet Metro, ensuring you get the right part for many jobs.

Gates has been making belts for a long time, and this one is built to handle the constant flexing and heat generated by your engine. It's made with strong materials that resist cracking and wear, so you can expect it to last. Installing it is usually straightforward, often a simple matter of loosening the tensioner, slipping off the old belt, and putting the new one on. Just make sure to check your vehicle's service manual for the correct routing and tensioning procedure.
