7 hours. at my shop $50 per hour equals $350 the high retail for the belt is $58 and it'swiseand maybe nessary to changethewater pump while the work is being done. This is for the 6 cylinder car and changing the oils seals on the oil pump and the cam shafts. The belt is supposed to be changed every 80 thousand miles and the seals and the waterpump shoould be changed too. If the belt failed ( broke) the the engine may be damged and have to be rebuilt to repair the damage or even replaced ( the whole engine). the 4 cyclinder is different. The V Tec taks 4 hours before changing the seals and the water pump. add 2 1/2 hours for that. the twin cam non v tec is about the same but if the belt isbroken all this is for not.as theengine may ( it does'nt have to be) damaged.and sometimes beyond resonable repair. ( you can fix anything if you spend enough money) If the engines damaged by a broken timing belt a good used moter installed is likly better an cheaper.

My car has a leaky water pump and the mechanic said they have to replace the timimg belt as well i have a 1995 honda accord v6 engine with over 200 and something miles

yes, you should have the timing belt changed every 80,000 mi. on a Honda. You got your use out the one from the factory, if that's how long you've owned your car.

A leaky water pump is common on Hondas with that much mileage.

When it rains it pours.

Don't worry, timing belts don't cost that much to replace. really they don't.

1995 accord timing belt schedule

If the timing belt has been replaced recently, a mechanic can inspect it taking the cover off, and tell you, that won't cost big money.

If it has been replaced 50K miles ago it wont be possible to know.

If the car has 114K miles, I suggest taking it to a mechanic and replacing the timing belt.

How many miles to replace 2000 honda accord LX V6 3.0

i am guessing that you are asking about replacing the timing belt on your honda .. if so then here is the replacement schedule

under normal driving 105,000 miles or 84 months
under extreme temp 60,000 miles or every 48 months (hot or cold climates)

its a good idea to change the water pump and tensioner pullies at the same time.. they dont add much to the parts cost ...

its not a good idea to wait for belt failure. interference engines like yours will do a lot of damage if the belt fails.

Is it recommended to change the timing belt on a 2006 Honda Accord 4 door V6. And what would happen if the timing belt should break? [email protected]

yes it is recommended that you change your timing belt. Some engines have whats known as a contact motor. In other words if the timing belt breaks the pistons could hit the valves and damage them to the point that the heads would have to come off. This could cost a whole lot more than replacing the belt. Also if the timing belt drives the water pump you should have it replaced at the same time. Hope this helps.Please leave comment.

Loose timing belt

The tensioner is defective. Replace the tensioner and the belt. Also replace the Balance Shaft belt. Also replace the water pump which is driven by the cam belt. This will save you labor costs later on. On your Honda the belt must be replaced every 90,000 miles. Your engine is an interference engine and as such if the belt breaks serious engine damage will occur.

What else needs to be changed when doing a timing belt on a 1999 honda accord? and about how much should it cost?

Technically, nothing else needs to be changed when replacing a timing belt, however it is recommended or suggested to replace the timing belt tensioner and water pump while doing the belt. These items are only accessable when doing a timing belt. The cost should be under $100.00

Does my honda accord 2.2 diesel have a timing belt or chain its a 54 plate 78000 miles

Yes, it does have a timing belt.
Most peoplerecommend getting your water pump and timing belt every 100,000 miles, but i would take it to a mechanic and see if he believes it should be replaced. be weary though it does cost a lot, and some people will jump on this oppertunity like a shark on chum Some sites will sell 100,000 mile kits for cars. but its not a DYI job inless you know your way around a car.

94 accord ex timing belt diagrams and instructions?

Replacing the timing belt, if you're mechanically inclined, is not a bad job at all. Haynes has a good step by step instructions for your car. The only problem you'll have is removing the balancer bolt. It's on there tight. If you decide to do the job yourself, email me and I'll tell you the trick on removing the balancer bolt without the use of an impact gun. I do this trick on all the Honda's I change the timing belts on.
