I changed the timing belt on my girlfriend's 99 accord last year for a grand total of 24 years and 110k miles. To be honest it looked really good and I wouldn't be surprised if it lasted another 15 years
233,000 mi. 2007 accord with 2.4L vtech. Sold the car to a buddy and it is still going strong.
My sister ran her Honda Odyssey 3.5 to 245k miles. Never had a belt.
I had a 2002 Honda civic at 230K and never changed the timing belt.
Use a genuine Honda belt if you decide to replace it, a new auto parts store belt will likely fail before that old Honda belt.
Been running them on my 350hp turbo M20 for 6 years now with no issues
I have read a lot about the wet timing belt issues, and still went ahead to purchase a 308SW with 85KM...for the 1.2 Puretech, I believe companies like continental contitech have produce a CT1228 belt specifically to tackle oil on the belt, and I believe it's important we use the correct and good quality oil..
Timing belt is only issue with these.
There is a fault with these engines! The belt starts to break up prematurely, clogging up the oil galleries inside the engine! First sign of this starting to happen is your turbo starts to get louder, then siezes. Happened mine just outside of warranty (42k miles). Luckily honda footed the bill and replaced the engine.
Forget the kevlar belt, stick with the Continental belt. A search of these forums will reveal chronic problems with it.
