I have a 2002 V6 4dr - overall it has been a great car and I am just 20 miles shy of the 100K mark. So in order to make sure all was well ~

In the past month I have had the following services:

standard oil change
transmission service
ac service
timing belt replaced (recall woo hoo!)
water pump replaced (recall woo hoo!)
ac belt replaced
tensioner belt replaced
power steering belt replaced
driver side door seat belt buckle (warranty) to correct SRS light
side engine mount replaced (broken)
front brake ceramic pads
front brake rotors
brake system flush
tires rotate
alignment
spark plugs replaced
crank shaft plug replaced due to small oil leak

For this I paid around $1100. Is there anything else that I should be looking forward to? I plan on keeping the car for a long time and I am the original owner. I was thinking of getting just simple cosmetics such as detailing and tint. It seems to be running very smooth and between the dealership and the shop I go to nothing else has been mentioned except a recommendation to replace upper and lower radiator hoses.

Anything that I should be concerned about now or in the next 15K?

 

You might do the fuel filter and the distributor cap & rotor.

98+ accords don't have fuel filters and 2000+ cars are DIS only.........


OP,

How did you get your timing belt and water pump done as a recall?

my PERSONAL opinion is that unless there is something wrong with your A/C don't mess with it

 

I think I do have a fuel filter because that was one item that the shop said will come up but said he wouldn't recommend it unless I'm really having an issue because you have to drop the tank? They quoted me about $125 on that but I didn't do it.

The 2002 V6 (along with the Odyssey and Pilot maybe?) has a recall out (you can just google it) on the timing belt and water pump. I got the notice the second year I owned the car but never did anything about it and decided to ride it out as long as I could to get more mileage out of the one I had - and I waited until now and they still had to replace it. The dealer just searched the VIN and confirmed it). Perfect timing because I was due anyway.

Thanks for the info - anything else you guys think of let me know because I would like to prevent any big things if I can by good maintenance and checks.

My mistake...how do they go about not using a fuel filter? Nothing in the tank even?

 

I'm sure the coolant was changed when the timing belt was done, right? Just checking.

There is a sock/strainer on the fuel pump pickup. I guess they (Honda) believe the strainer will stop anything large enough to cause damage.

 

yes - coolant done - before the timing belt (same month) and whatever they would have to do when replacing.

thanks again for the advice

 

Sounds like it's time for a turbo
