i bought this car in November 07
and when i took off the timing belt cover the belt was loose so my neighbor helped my tighten it.

i recently took some pic of the belt and i need to know if it is the original one or if it has been replaced.

 

WHAT YEAR?
How many miles?
Look for cracks at the bottom of the teeth where the belt goes over the tensioner.

 

95 w/ 120k miles

 

This is a question that is asked a hundred times and there is still only one answer. There is now way tell if the belt has 10k miles on it or 100k miles on it. If you are questioning it then just replace the belt. Then belt wears evenly on the front and the back so there is no way of telling how much or were its worn

 

oh i just thought the numbers might mean something.

 

yup u cant tell. if u odn't feel secure just replace it. not much

 

ya if your insecure and second guessing everything replace it that way you KNOW for sure when to replace it next. With the write up that touring accord did it should be a breeze and save you so much money from dealerships and shops.. Go all Honda Parts only though when you do this... if you do it.
