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....

Should i change the timing belt on my 98 Mits Eclipse?

I heard its recommended that you change the timing belt every 80k miles. I have a 98 Mitsubishi eclipse GSX. How much will the total cost be to get it changed?
Should i change the timing belt on my 98 Mits Eclipse?
When the car is due for the timing belt replacement, it's a very good idea to follow the manufacturer's recommendation. If the timing belt breaks, you're not only replacing the belt but also replacing some of the internal parts of the engine. Also it's a good idea to change the water pump when changing timing belt(save lots of $$$ on labor if done at the same time) any honest mechanic would recommend that you replace the water pump when changing the timing belt. Timing belt and water pump replacement should cost you about $500. little more or less.



80k miles is 20k miles over due. the belt should be replaced at 60k miles.

At a shop about $500.00 if done correctly, All seals, belts and gaskets that parts and labor.
interference engine! get it changed when it is due. If it breaks you will do expensive damage to your engine. find an honest independent shop, as you friends who they use. good luck.
Yes you should get it changed with a genuine belt, If it snaps and your lucky the car will stop and need a tow truck, if it breaks and your unlucky it will screw the entire motor up. If you dont have the money just yet take it to a mechanic and get him to check the condition the belt is in

Where do the timing marks go on the cam gears on a 1986 toyota corolla when changing the timing belts?

I'm about to replace a timing belt, not chain, on a 1986 toyota corolla. Its a 4 cylinder dual overhead cam. I need to know where timing marks on the cam gears go.... If anyone knows for sure I would appreciate your answer.

once you get it apart and you have place the vibration dampener on t.d.c. you will be able to see small marks like this ^^^place them to the other mark s on the dampener and Eng face and reinstall the new belt and bighting the tensioner after you have this done check to make sure that both cams are on the mark along with the vibration timing mark

i need to change the timing belt for a 1999 acura tl, any idea how much is it ?

Anywhere from 300-1200 depending on how experienced and honest the shop is that's doing the repair, as well as the quality of the parts and what parts are changed when doing the job. You should have the shop check and or replace the drive belts, waterpump, tensioner, idler and any seals if their leaking while they change the timing belt. Good luck and hope this helps.

If the belt has broken, you can count on a fairly large repair bill. Usually, valves get bent. If your belt is still intact, do the right thing and let the delaership do it. They will use genuine factory parts with a REAL warranty, and use the correct water pump and coolant, if required. Call a few dealers to see if they have competitive prices. If you have an outside repair shop do the work, make SURE that they are using genuine Acura parts and NOT some aftermarket junk. You will probably need new tensioners and rollers. GOOD LUCK!!

Should i change my timing belt of my car?

i have a 2000 toyota corolla. I was planning to change the timing belt of my car but it only has 80,000 miles on it.it's an used car without a carfax report.A lot of people told me that it's better if I just change the timing belt because I don't know if the previous owner change it.what should i do?
Should i change my timing belt of my car?
If you're not sure, change it - especially if you can do the job yourself. The belt will run you about $15-20. Most Corollas do not have interference engines, which means that you won't cause additional damage when it lets go. Check the tensioner too. Any roughness indicates a need to replace. They run about $40-60.



Recommended changing interval is 60K but I've seen them last almost double that. They are easiest to change if they haven't broken first since you won't have to retrieve about a 100 or so teeth and align the crank and cam match marks .



You can also remove just the top section of the cover and look. Turn the engine CW with a socket wrench on the crank pulley bolt a little bit at a time and examine the belt. If the belt appears to be in good condition AND you can still read the printing on the back, it's probably been changed.

Should i change my timing belt of my car?
change it... whole tuneup!.. if you dont change and it tears.. you cant say oh well, let me change it now.. then youd have to change bent valves and maybe cams.. its just better to do change it!
G MONKEY is spot on with his advice !
Take a look at the belt. Look at the part that has teeth and see if you can find cracks.



If it got cracks, you better replace that, change the tensioner too. This is what keeps the belt tight.



Besides 80T is about due date for toyota's anyway. While you're at it, change the transmission and gear oil too.
If ur going to be driving the car for a long time , you might wont to go ahead and change this will save you money in the long run. Now if ur not going to keep the car very long ,then jut drive it like it is.
take the advice of everyone else and change it unless you want to risk getting stuck somewhere. unless you have an interference engine it wont be a big deal to fix when it goes but you will still be stuck where it stops. i will say its ASTONISHING how long a belt can last though even if the cogs are almost completely gone and the belt only halfway on the top pulley. back in high school we ran a old gti with no belt cover, really worn belt that was only riding halfway on the top pulley at 7000+ rpm and it never broke or popped off or skipped. but seriously you are supposed to change it like 60000 miles or so i think. you could pull the cover and just give it a good long look and decide if it looks old or not thats what i do myself.

2004 Civic Burning Oil After Changing The Timing Belt...?

So, yeah. I brought the car into the dealer to change the timing belt [routine maintainance] and they changed out the water pump and put on new fan belts at the same time.



Afterward the car sounds a bit funny. The engine is louder and makes a sputtering noise in the lower RPMs, but seemed to perform fine, so whatever.



Fast foward a month or so and I found that the car was down a quart of oil. Just yesterday I noticed that the exhaust is smokey [not a whole lot, but enough that I could tell] and doesn't have the fruity smell that it's supposed to. Then today my engine light came on.



Anybody know WTF they screwed up and how much it's gonna cost me to get it fixed?
2004 Civic Burning Oil After Changing The Timing Belt...?
There's really no parallel between a timing belt and water pump vs. oil consumption.

The %26quot;sounds a bit funny%26quot; doesn't really do much to describe a noise.

You'll need to have the fault code(s) retrieved from the PCM to determine just what set off the check engine light.
2004 Civic Burning Oil After Changing The Timing Belt...?
if there was a bent valve ya'd know about it , if ya burnin oil and the exhuast is real smokey specially after start up it might be valve stem oil seals which wouldn't have been touched in a timing belt replacment or if its using water too ya could check the oil filler cap for a yellowey gunge if there is some ya head gasket is gone



i doubt it was anything to do with the belt being done though , if the belt was on wrong the car wouldn't run ... full stop
Timing belt Replacement is a job that has nothing to do with the symptoms you just mention, If I would have to guess? they switched the engine .lol.
Oh dude! When they put the new belt on they got it just a hair off so your camshaft isn't opening the valves in sync with the crank. This will leave a valve open with the piston at top dead center and has probably bent a valve stem, knocked a hole in the piston, scored up the cylinder wall, and generally screwed up the motor. I'd be back in to that dealership pronto for a new motor; the one you have is toast.

P.S. I'd sue them if they don't offer to fix it for free. It was their screw up that did the damage.
