The mother-in-law has a 99 Accord EX-L, with the V6. She and SWMBO have a bug about replacing the timing belt. I can't find anything about a timing belt for the v6 in the online Honda owner's link maintenance schedule, and the manual is 700 miles away, with the MIL (who wouldn't know where to look it up, anyway)

Does this beasty have a belt that needs to be replaced? If so, when?

Many thanks

 

for the V-6 I believe it's 110k miles.

 

Thanks kindly. We'll have the car here in a few months, and I think we'll go ahead and change it based on age, rather than miles (it's really your basic little old lady car, until now, 45,000 miles since 99!)

 

if you're doing the timing belt, I suggest replacing the waterpump, spark plugs, oil, etc.

Usually when they do the timing belt they do EVERYTHING that's on scheduled maintenance.

That's all based on how long it's been since everything else that has been done though.

 

all 98-02 accords are 105K/ 8 years for t-belt under normal and 60K for severe. all means I4 and V6

Sorry, when I think I4 I think of my car, and then I think H22, and then I think 90k mile T-belt.
