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.
Just for reference, I just had timing belt done on my daughter’s 2011 legacy at our indy mechanic:Labor: $531 replace timing belt with front engine oil seals and water pump, idlers, tension, upper radiator hose, l inner timing coverParts: approximately $800Total approximately $1350
Just had the same work done. Same car. I paid more, and I felt like I got a good deal.
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.
Timing belt is only issue with these.
I had a customer who brought in a car with seemingly “authentic Honda” parts that failed prematurely. Lo and behold it was a counterfeit timing belt kit and the belt snapped sending everything else to shit.
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.
