They see plenty of use in europe, another thing where maintenance is key. Haven't seen much as far as gm having issues. Don't think they'd be putting 15 year service intervals if they weren't confident they wouldn't be sued.
Owner reviews for timing belt
Mein Polo hatte selbst 12 Jahre Überzug aber es ist weder der Zahnriemen gerissen noch sonst was. War mehr oder weniger auch in der gleichen Situation, nur waren es bei mir 11 Jahre mehr Überzug.
Solange der Zahnriemen nicht im Ölbad läuft und er nicht porös, erste Risse oder Brüche (auf der Innenseite) zeigt würde ich mir da wenig Gedanken machen, sowieso wenn deine Karre mit nächsten Jahr weg soll.
it’s critical that job is done with genuine parts. Have a dealer , or even better, a quality independent shop do it that will use genuine Honda parts. Most don’t. They use aftermarket junk. If aftermarket is used you won’t get a 100k miles out of that service interval like you should.
What I like about our Hilux is after 200k kms, is timing belt lang napalitan. The durability is impeccable.
have it on my civic for a year now no problems.
Just did my timing belt. Get the Aisin it’s only like $107 on rockauto.
aisin is the best! it’s got everything you need and it’s not extremely expensive. took my personal mechanic 4-5 days to fix it up, but he also had to work on other cars. aisin is always going to be dayco when it comes to timing because it’s the exact match from the stock one when the car was made
Super cheap minus the expensive timing belt job at 105k miles.
Turns out I did not tighten the bolts enough on the intake cam gear. A couple came very loose or out. Tore up the timing belt, the cam gear and valve cover.
i've gone trough at least 6 or so in the last 2 years
