if it looks different
check recommended mileage, DO NOT EXCEED
Timing belts are changed at a set mileage which is listed in your owners manual. The belt may look good and be ready to break. Change it when that manufacture tells you to change it.
Look in your owners manual and see if it was written down. Contact the previous owner. There is no way to look at the belt and know for sure. If your vehicle has an interference engine, I would not take a chance. If you are not 100% positive it has been changed then have it replaced.
dont know if this helps but i have a 2000 sephia and just had timing belt changed yesterday. on the 2000 they change the water pump with the belt. cost us four fifty for both. dont know if this helps but i have a 2000 sephia and just had timing belt changed yesterday. on the 2000 they change the water pump with the belt. cost us four fifty for both.
If you suspect your timing belt has broken or the teeth have been stripped off of it, the only way to know for sure is to take off you timing belt cover and have a look. Some vehicles had / have interference heads. These vehicles will destroy their own valves if you try to crank them without a timing belt on.
If you think it is going bad STOP DRIVING and get it changed immediately. If the timing belt/chain goes while you are motoring it will ruin the engine.
It should be changed every 60,000 miles. I am not sure if it is an interference engine or not.
i changed timing belt and timing chine but my car know need good fix and not start very well,please help me
It does not have a timing belt it has a chain
timing belts on Honda and acura motors should be changed every 70,000 miles, otherwise you run the risk of the belt breaking and bending valves
You will have no symptoms that it needs to be changed. Also looking at it will not tell you whether it needs to be changed or not as it may look good and be ready to break. For this reason timing belts are required to be changed at a set mileage or years interval. Referred to your owners manual as to the maintenance schedule on the timing belt. It varies with manufacturer from 60,000 miles 110,000 miles.
As far as I know all Honda and Acura cars have belts. With a chain the chain, cam gear and crank gear must be changed and with belt only the belt needs changed.
