Timing Belt Replacement
Hey y'all,
I have an 05 Accord at 191,000 Miles. I am taking it into the shop tomorrow for some smaller stuff, and asked the mechanic if they recommend any preventative maintenance for my upcoming 200K mile mark.
He suggested replacing the timing belt and he would also replace the water pump and a few of the engine seals as a packaged deal.
I obviously want to replace the TB before its an emergency and more costly, so my question is: If I don't know when it was replaced last, and I bought it at 98K miles a few years ago, how long, give or take, do I have to replace the TB?
Should I do it now, or can I risk another 15K miles before I need to spend that cash?
Also, he quoted me about $1100 for the package, does this seem reasonable? It's an actual Honda dealership so I would think they are pretty honest.
Sorry for the long winded point, but thanks so much for any and all help!!!
