Car Forum / Honda Cars / October 2004how many mile/kilometer - change timing belt for accord
Hi all, i have 93 honda accord ex with about 125,000 KM on it. i checked a doc on Honda web site and it said that 90,000 miles is point to change timing belt. but i also checked with 2 local mechanics and was told that i should change it around 100,000 KM. so i am not sure which is correct. what's your opinion? thanks, jj Do you drive this car in the United States? If so, the interval is 90,000 miles/6 years. Later Accords (e.g. the 1994-1995 Accords) added that, if the car saw severe duty (repeated short distance driving; dusty driving; severe cold driving; salty snowy area driving; rough or muddy road driving; trailer towing driving), the interval should be reduced to 60k miles. See www.autozone.com 's free repair guides, then "Routine Maintenance," then "Maintenance Schedules," where you can print out a copy of the 1993 Accord's maintenance schedule (U.S.-driven cars). > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > thanks, > jj >Hi all, > >i have 93 honda accord ex with about 125,000 KM on it. i checked a doc on >Honda web site and it said that 90,000 miles is point to change timing >belt. but i also checked with 2 local mechanics and was told that i should >change it around 100,000 KM. 140,000 Km on a milage basis, but also every 72 months (6 years), whichever is less, so you're way overdue on time. >>Hi all, >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >140,000 Km on a milage basis, Is that the same as 90,000 miles on a kilometer basis? >>140,000 Km on a milage basis, > >Is that the same as 90,000 miles on a kilometer basis?

My car now has over one light second of mileage! RAT >> >>>>140,000 Km on a milage basis, >> >>> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >Makes me realize... My car now has over one light second of mileage! Yeah, mine is around half a light-second. Speaking of weird units, my speed is around 170,000 furlongs per fortnight on the highway, and a fill-up takes about 100,000 cubic barleycorns.

I would change yours before 90k miles. An aquaintance of mine had the timing belt on his Civic break at 115k miles. His valves became rather bent. I think the mechanics just want your money--60k miles is way too conservative. But then again, if the belt is 11 years old, perhaps you should change it if only because of the age. Andrew thanks. i'll change it soon because even milage is less than 90,000 miles but the age of the car. thanks again. by the way i am driving in Canada jj >> Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Andrew > thanks. i'll change it soon because even milage is less than 90,000 miles > but the age of the car. my 98 civic only has 47k miles on it. i *might* do it next year, or i might wait. like, til 2010 :) I have a 91 Accord and live in Canada and change it every 100,000 kms. The owners manual says 144,000 kms. > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > thanks, > jj really it depends on how hard the car has been drove, 90-100k is a fairly close range, so proberly be safer at 90k > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > thanks, > jj |
