Timing belt OEM Honda or OEM Volvo

That’s actually not a bad price. Paid $1400 at 110k miles for timing belt, coolant change, and water pump at independent shop on the families odyssey. $1850 from dealer don’t sound bad.

Paying $1750 for my timing belt package next month. 13 V6 Accord at 110k miles. Was this done when you hit 100k miles?

My 03 Honda Pilot was $2300 in 2023 and had 230k miles. It’s almost to 300k and hasn’t really needed anything done except general upkeep maintenance. It’ll need a timing belt soon though.

it’s critical that job is done with genuine parts. Have a dealer , or even better, a quality independent shop do it that will use genuine Honda parts. Most don’t. They use aftermarket junk. If aftermarket is used you won’t get a 100k miles out of that service interval like you should.

2010 Ridgeline, so same engine/platform as the Pilot.. Just changed the timing belt at 160k miles for the first time. The belt felt totally fine, almost brand new. The tensioner looked like it had a little fluid leaking but looked fine. The tensioner pulley had a little play.

I ran my 2012 pilot with similar miles for 200k without changing the belt (it’s also got that v6 shared with the tl if I’m not mistaken)

As the title says, I changed my timing belt today. I replaced the timing belt, tensioner, idler pulley, serpentine belt, and serpentine belt tensioner. All replacement parts were OEM Volvo. There are two noteworthy cracks that go all the way across the belt and tiny cracks all over.

I paid a dealer $1400 to replace timing belt, tensioner, water pump and front main seal several years ago. Pricy, but in a HCOL metro.

I had a customer who brought in a car with seemingly “authentic Honda” parts that failed prematurely. Lo and behold it was a counterfeit timing belt kit and the belt snapped sending everything else to shit.

There is a fault with these engines! The belt starts to break up prematurely, clogging up the oil galleries inside the engine! First sign of this starting to happen is your turbo starts to get louder, then siezes. Happened mine just outside of warranty (42k miles). Luckily honda footed the bill and replaced the engine.
