You can tell by inspection. If the belts are slick, cracked, or cannot be adjusted to the correct tension, they are worn and need replacement. HINT: Make a pattern of how the belt(s) is/are routed so you don't forget how it goes back on.
I have a 2002 Odyssey and as far as I can tell up to now they are using timing belts, not chains. Timing belts need to be replaced at around 90k miles on the Odyssey. Hope this helps.
Timing chains do not need to be replaced, only timing belts. Save your money and don't let the car dealer tell you otherwise.
If it does, there is something wrong. Be aware that if a vehicle is involved in a collision serious enough that air bags were deployed, all manufacturers recommend that any seat belts which were in use at the time be replaced. Your insurer usually won't tell you this, but you can and should demand those belts be replaced as part of any repairs covered by insurance. Some seat belts have a "charge" in them that the airbag computer also sets off to tighten the belt a little bit during a crash. That type of belt would be unusable after a crash and would need replaced.
Smell them.
wapams are belts that tell stories
Mitsubishi and Mazda mazda
you tell me
If u have water in your oil pan u need to replce it.
you bring it to a ford dealer ship and tell them you need it replaced!?
you can only tell by mileage. The timing belt needs to be replaced every 60k miles. Failure to do so can be a disaster to the engine. While your mechanic does this have him replace the water pump and temperature senser as well as these fail frequently and are easy to do when your "in there". All fan belts should be replaced too of course, since your in there.
The best way to tell when you need brakes is by squeaking, when the brakes are rubbing against the metal, when your brake pedal goes all the way to the floor and when you are running out of break fluid.
Sure! Belts aren't very noticeable so it would be hard to tell.
