Yes you should do it, the rubber could probably have a lot of cracks. Its peace of mind to take care of that. Last thing you would want is for it to snap at random

 

why dont you take a look at it and see how it looks, but you prolly are better off changing it

 

well we looked at it and it looks like new still. was driven a lot but not a lot of miles ya know

Every 25k miles is a little excessive

 

well the belt still looks good and its only got 25k miles on it but its like 4 or 5 yrs old

its not like the car just sat for years ya know it was still driven

 

up

 

up for someone who knows too, for how much it sucks to replace hopefully you won't have to

i would replace it. I blew my timing belt a few weeks ago with 50,000 kms on it. Thought my engine would be shot cuz it went when i was doing 140kms/h on the 401 hwy. Turns out i got a horse shoe up my *** and there was no damage done to my valves or anything.

Replace it = peice of mind.

From the Chilton manual "Acura recommends changing the timing belt at 90,000 miles or 72 months whichever comes first". Page 1-23
