When is the last time you changed timing belt/water pump?

[thepowderblue]

Replace your timing belt and water pump if its due.Maybe flush your tranny and rad. There is not a 200k service last time I checked. My Se has 180,900 (but I am not shure how meany on the rebuild but its less then that)and all I want to do to it is the tranny flush.You can really take the mileage up super high on our cars and they dont require alot of crap done to keep them running, My green EX has 269.700 on it and I hot rod the crap out of it and it still has lots of life in it.

@thepowderblue how often you have to replace your water pump ?

[PakaloloHonda]

You wanna change your timimg belt and water pump at around every 60k.
Be sure to stay on top of your water hoses as well, heater hose, etc ..
The inexpensive parts seem to be the ones that fail most .. and cause the most $$ damage.

replace timing belt every 60k mile keep oil changed and she will last 300k

And beyond.

@thepowderblue how often you have to replace your water pump ?

PakaloloHonda and snakeman34 are wrong. you replace the timing belt and water pump every 90k on our cars.(I know that and its in the book) you only replace it every 90k under normal daily driving.

I like how in the owners manual the timing belt service at 90k is recommended only, not required lol. I guess thats true you don't need a timing belt untill it breaks

[thepowderblue]

but if it brakes you MIGHT also need a valve job.
Ill say replace them at 90k if its just your daley driver but if you run your car very hard do it at 60k

make sure on that timing belt and water pump my car has 315K and the water pump seized i thought my car was dead other then that i just have the oil changed and i recently had to get a new radiator but that is all i do and my engine is still running strong

My motor has 262,3xx on it. Motor and trans runs awesome. Little oil leak but I bought every seal and gasket. Just to make sure they will not fail. Bought new timing belt and waterpump too. Show me an american car that runs with these kinda miles.

[Accrdwgnguy]

the timing belt is 60K for severe service (DDing in stop/go traffic, extreme climates, etc.) 90k for lighter duty (garaged grandma car, putt putting to the store every couple of days.) Or every 6 years, due to the rubber degrading and it being a critical part.

I had a grandma Accord a couple of years ago, 80k mi 91 sedan. Timing belt had never been changed. rot was crazy bad tho, it was from Long Island.

SO nothing special, just keep up with the maintenance.
