The Timing Belt and Engine Performance

The timing belt is important if you prefer a smooth running engine. The timing belt is responsible for opening and closing the valves on your engine. If your timing belt breaks, it can cause very expensive repairs to the valves, cylinder heads, pistons, or cylinder wall. Honda Acura recommends that all vehicles manufactured after 1997 have Timing Belt Replacement service every 105,000 miles.

Common Warning Signs of a Timing Belt Problem:

Engine has difficulty starting
Exhaust fumes are darker than usual
Poor idling that causes the vehicle to shake
Split or frayed belt edges
Squeaky noise coming from the tensioner pulley

Replace the Timing Belt Before it Fails

If the timing belt on your Acura car, crossover, or SUV breaks, it is impossible to move your vehicle. Although timing belts can last up to 100,000 miles or more, various driving factors can cause the belt to break much sooner. Regardless of the current condition of your timing belt, we recommend that your timing belt is inspected during routine maintenance to make sure that it is still good.

Replace the Water Pump too

Timing belts and water pumps have an approximately equal life on average. That is why we recommend replacing the water pump at the same time you receive Timing Belt Replacement Service. Our Acura certified technicians will tell you that getting a new timing belt before your current belt breaks will help you save time and money.

Schedule Service
