Hi all, I just bought a 2001 Accord EX V6 with 16,000 miles, it's like a brand-new car! I had a question about the timing belt. I was told Honda recommends it be replaced every 100,000 miles or 10 years. Is this accurate? Since the car is 12 years old do I need to do this or do the low miles allow me to postpone this?

Also, I'm looking for a set of the OEM rubber Honda floormats in tan, does anyone have a set in good condition they want to sell?

Thanks!

 

Replace that belt, it has aged well beyond its use.

 

Holy jees, I want pictures! I would thoroughly inspect the belts. Perhaps they are still good unless the vehicle has been stored in adverse conditions. With that mileage I would do them anyways.

 

better be safe than sorry go and replace

 

Thanks for the info guys, I'm going to replace it, better safe than sorry. Here's pics of the car, there's not a scratch on it and I bought it from the original owners.

 

That's insane! Nice find.

 

Thanks! I've actually had my eye on this car for several years. The previous owners kept a mileage log for the car, since 2008 it's only had 3,000 miles put on it!

The timing belt is getting replaced today and it's getting new tires tomorrow, the originals were badly cracked. I'm putting Bridgestone Serenity's on it.

 

Timing Belt, Water Pump, fluids etc

I'd go ahead and have the brake fluid flushed out too since it's been sitting.

 

The auto trans in these don't have a good rep.....I'd change the trans fluid with Honda trans fluid, going forward I would also suggest that you change the trans fluid on a regular basis......cut the service manual time/miles in half ?

 

Also check that all recalls have been done. Add Magnafine inline filter to AT return line.

Nice car!!!

 

Good idea, thanks, I'll do that too!

 

how much you pay for this. Damn luckyyy

 

That is so ridiculously clean, good good good find! Definitely worth the maintenance money.

 

Too bad it's an auto. but dayum! that's clean.

 

just had to chime and say good find. I have been looking to replace the girlfriends so i've seen some real piles so its good to see some good condition ones floating around.

 

Um, I'm not saying! WAY below what it was worth!

 

Yea, I wish Honda had offered manuals on the V6's back then!
