Watch & learn as I flush the antifreeze/coolant system (4x), replace the water pump, thermostat, alternator, serpentine belt, and fix the squeaky brake pads. This is a 2012 Honda Civic EX at 103,459 miles with the 1.8 L Inline-4 cylinder engine, but these steps should be similar for any Civic in the 9th generation of 2012-2015.
