Hello, According to the Scheduled Maintenance Interval chart in the Acura RSX Owner's Manual, the timing chain (the RSX utilizes a timing chain instead of a timing belt) should be replaced at the 97,500 mile interval. Although it is recommended to inspect the timing chain every 30,000 mile tune-up/service to look for signs of uneven wear, warping, etc.
I'm pretty sure it has a timing chain, like the rsx typeS. Could be wrong, but I think I'm more right then wrong.
The price for a replacement windshield for a 2003 Acura RSX varies depending on the region. A typical price ranges from about 200 dollars to 400 dollars.

To change the timing belt on a 2003 Acura RSX, start by disconnecting the battery and removing the engine covers. Then, drain the coolant and remove components like the alternator, power steering pump, and any accessories obstructing access to the timing belt. Align the timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft, remove the old belt, and replace it with a new one, ensuring proper tension before reassembling all components. Finally, refill the coolant, reconnect the battery, and check for proper operation.
You don't change a timing chain unless it breaks...that's the beauty of owning a vehicle with a timing chain. However, you need to make sure to replace your water pump at the recommended interval - in most cars the timing belt and water pump are replaced at the same time so you want to make sure that this service does not slip through the cracks!
