Definitely do it at the recommended 60,000 or if you or an Auto Technician check the belt by removing the cover to see if it is worn or loose to decided just how soon. I believe this is also an Interference Motor. Which means, if the Timing Belt is neglected and it breaks, the valves could hit the Piston and the Valves could bend. Then you are looking at a costly repair, and either a new donor head, or a trip to the machine shop. But when you do get this done, definitely do the Water Pump as well, and have the Techs look at the Bearings for Idler Pulleys on your Serpentine Belt, and have the Serpentine Belt replaced as well. All these things (if broken) all have to be taken apart together regardless, and involve the same work, so you should have it all checked and replaced anyway to avoid much worse and more costly repairs down the line.How long until its necessary to change the timing belt on a 99 honda civic ex?
50,000 miles is when I stress to replace all timing belts. Some automakers say 60,000 miles some even has listed 100,000 miles but odds are by 50,000 miles you should either be replacing it or keeping an eye on it.
Like with just about all import engines they are interference engines. Which means if a valve is open which if the engine is running when the belt brakes you will have atleast 2 valves open on a 4 cylinder which would lead to the piston slapping the valve.
When the belt brakes and the piston hits those valves the valve will first punch a hole in the head of the piston requiring the block to be pulled for the bottom end to be taken apart to replace the pistons. The pistons will also bend the valves which will require you to get new valves, new valve guides and possibly new head/heads because odds are that valve stem will be pushed sideways and will cause fractures in the aluminum/cast iron head.
60,000 and I usually tell the customer to replace the water pump at the same time, all it costs is the part extra, no additional labor.
Honda normally recommends replacing the timing belt at 60,000 miles
we use km here and it says 100,000, so i guess it's about 65,000 for miles...

What is the indication that I have to change the timing belt for daihatsu 96 model and how much?
should be changed at 100k not 60 k shes lost her mindWhat is the indication that I have to change the timing belt for daihatsu 96 model and how much?
Mileage is the ONLY indicator - timing belt failure will leave you stranded with absolutely no previous symptoms.
Most manufacturers recommend the change at 60,000 miles. Check your owners manual for the maintenance schedule on your particular model to be sure.
Added: Lost my mind?
';The timing belt must be changed every 60,000 miles. Although the California Owner's Manual says 105,000 miles, this is just to satisfy a state requirement that says timing belts should last 100,000 miles or more.';
';The average life of a timing belt is 60,000-90,000 miles. ...';
Sooooo.....if you want to drive on borrowed time, go ahead, wait for 100,000 miles. It's been my experience that you won't make it.What is the indication that I have to change the timing belt for daihatsu 96 model and how much?
There's really not any usual indication on most vehicles. The exception is if a belt is ';loose'; and jumps a gear tooth. Then you would get a rough idle and rough running engine. If you let the belt break your repair bill will be more than your vehicle is worth if it is an interference engine. Interference means the valves will drop and hit the pistons! Perhaps another person knows if it is an interference engine, most brands are. Cost to replace the belt (and maybe the water pump at the same time) will likely be $350-$650. If the belt breaks, regardless of engine type, you are stuck on the road. Hope this helps!
hahahahaha! Oh Sorry! JJVikings08 made me laugh! He is right it should be changed after 100K miles.
';shes lost her mind'; Hahahahaha!!!
Anyways, since yours is a 1996 model, i take it, that it probably is over the 100K mile mark. S you should get it changed soon, oh and while you are getting it changed, also get the water pump replaced, since they are both near each other, and if you get them done separately it will cost you twice as much.web design and hosting web server hosting

How much to change a Timing belt on a 2002 Accord Coupe?
HondaHow much to change a Timing belt on a 2002 Accord Coupe?
I would say between $400 to $650 give or take another $50 depending whether the dealer does it or an independent mechanic. Just make sure that you get someone who has experience doing it.
Replace every 105,000 miles or 7 years. If you regularly drive in very high temperatures (over 110掳F, 43掳C) or in very low temperatures (under 20掳F, 29掳C) then replace it every 60,000 miles.How much to change a Timing belt on a 2002 Accord Coupe?
Our shop just charged $690 for a timing belt on a 6 cylinder accord. The job also included a new water pump and cam seals. (might as well get those, too, as long as the cover is off).
That depends on what part of the country your from. Philadelphia, Boston, Los Angeles, it will be more expensive. Smaller cities have a cheaper flat rates for jobs like this. You will pay between $300.00 to 400.00 though.

TIMING BELT Im going to change my timing belt in a few days and was wondering if any1 could tell me how to set?
a torque wrench to 18lbs or estimate it, and is this the right torque setting for a 97 vectraTIMING BELT Im going to change my timing belt in a few days and was wondering if any1 could tell me how to set?
If you have to ask this question mate you are playing russian roulette with your engine if you intend doing the timing belt your self. get yourself a Haynes manual before you make a hash of the job.TIMING BELT Im going to change my timing belt in a few days and was wondering if any1 could tell me how to set?
That sound good it would not hurt to set it at 20 to 25 lbs. To set the wrench is to loosen the end nut on the handle part then Twist the handle to where the groove on the wrench itself where it says 15 FT lbs. You will notice the handle has a 0 and | | | | 5 | | | | 10 | | | | and so forth...
Line the dial part or handle to the grove on the body of the wrench where it says 15 plus add the dashes to make 18 which is the 3 dash from 0 turning it to the right. It will be 18 in FT lbs. remember to twist the lock nut on the end so the dial does not turn when torquing on the wrench.
When you tighten the bolt and it reaches the ft lbs you set the wrench at it will make a CLICK sound and you can feel it click too.
practice on a wheel lug nut or some other nut to get a feel for it.
You don't want that tension pulley bolt coming loose. I could not find the specs for the torque but I never used a torque wrench when doing a timing belt.
But your Cog type belts do not require much tension for the belt to stay in place.
are you sure you are up to this ? very expensive mistakes can be made - you should really have a workshop manual .
Get a Haynes manual: You'll need several different torque settings for various nuts %26amp; bolts, as well as a specific procedures for replacing the belt itself.
Your torque wrench should have instructions with it, but usually they're adjusted with a knurled wheel at the end of the handle - the torque setting appears against a mark in a clear 'window' on the handle, or against a mark on a scale at the adjuster.

Timing belt change on 1997 Honda Accord?
My friend wants to have te timing belt changed on his 907 onda Accord. How difficult a job is this in terms of accessing the belt?Timing belt change on 1997 Honda Accord?
there should be a timing cover on where the crank is(usually plastic cover)just take it off and there it is.Timing belt change on 1997 Honda Accord?
i own a shop,and getting to the belt isn't too bad of job,but bad enough,the hardest part of though is keeping the top pulley from moving,when you remove the old belt,it will usually jump a notch or two forwards,so on this part of it it may take two people,other than that if you have a good Haynes repair manual on this car,you can do this,it gives all the details on what all has to be done,just take your time with it,that's the key to doing a good job on it,good luck i hope this helps.
Seriously, don't mess with the timing unless you are a trained mechanic. You could end up costing yourself a lot of money.
You should have some pretty solid mechanical abilities. I took mine to a shop and had it replaced prior to the mileage reaching 100,000. It cost $300.00, but that also included a couple hoses that need replacing. Well worth it, if your timing belt goes out on you while you are driving, you pretty much are putting in a new motor because, the innards of the motor keep turning until the motor stops, causing warped valves and rod issues.
