When to change a Honda Accord 2000 timing belt?

Okay i bought my car last year and it was 152k miles. The guy before me bought it when it was 122k miles and never did any repair with the car. Do you think that the timing belt has been changed already? Should i go ahead and change the timing belt or should i wait? I believe you have to change the timing belt every 80k miles right?

The change interval for that car is first at 90K and then every 60K thereafter, I believe. If he did change the belt it is likely time to change it again anyway. If he didn't, then it definitely needs to be changed.

i would it would be better to be safe then sorry because if the belt fails you will be out a lot more money then just the belt
Timing belts should be swapped every 60K miles.



If you plan to have the car for any length of time, you might as be safe and do it now.





Good luck...
The frequency for replacement can vary from car to car. Check your manual in the glove box and it will give you the exact mileage for replacement.
On both engines the 2.3 and the 3.0 they are interference motors, meaning if the timing belt breaks you will have engine damage....
