Car Forum / Honda Cars / September 2007Accord DX 2000 timing belt
Hello all, My 2000 Accord, despite only 85,000 km has reached the 7 -year mark, so am planning to have the timing belt job done at my dealer. In addition to the water pump, there are number of other items that should be changed (seals etc). Can someone please post the complete list of items that should be changed as part of this service. Thanks in advance. > Hello all, > My 2000 Accord, despite only 85,000 km has reached the 7 -year mark, so am [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Thanks in advance. 85k km? i'd leave it. that's half the recommended service mileage. i know there's supposed to be an age factor too, but 85k? the thing's barely used. and leave everything else. seriously. > > Hello all, > > My 2000 Accord, despite only 85,000 km has reached the 7 -year mark, so am [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > know there's supposed to be an age factor too, but 85k? the thing's > barely used. and leave everything else. seriously. I agree our 90 accord timing the timing belt went 150k before it gave out. Maybe have it checked and look it over and give it a serious going over, definately if you have it done, DO change the water pump, hoses, give the motor a good going over visually inspecting everything. Seals, leaks, park it overnight on a clean news paper and check it the next morning to see if things leaked or you have something else going on. Never over look the obvious and check it twice to be sure. Nothing to lose and you can never be too sure > > > Hello all, > > > My 2000 Accord, despite only 85,000 km has reached the 7 -year mark, so am [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > Never over look the obvious and check it twice to be sure. > Nothing to lose and you can never be too sure You can't tell the condition of the timing belt by looking at it. I think that you have to give years as well as miles equal consideration. ---"Maybe have it checked and look it over and give it a serious going over," Poor advice. Once you expend the labor to get it to that point; --Change it!! MLD I'll assume the OP is in Canada due to listing 85000 kms... in that case he is more than likely in a 'severe service area', meaning the interval is 100000kms. Recently helped my bro-in-law on his 2001 accord I4, 102000kms on the belt, and if you saw it, you wouldn't have wanted to use it for another minute! cracked and the lobes were really worn out. In my opinion, based on the variety of stories I have read on this group, and my personal experiences going both ways (ie when I did my own Civic after 110000km, the belt still looked new vs the story with my bro-in-law), and the fact that catastrophic engine damage could occur if it fails, I would err on the side of caution. Change the belt. t >> Hello all, >> My 2000 Accord, despite only 85,000 km has reached the 7 -year mark, so am [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >know there's supposed to be an age factor too, but 85k? the thing's >barely used. and leave everything else. seriously. |
