Just wondering how much mileage had some of you guys gone before doing your timing belt and water pump job. Is there some margin of safety being that this is an integral part of the car's well-being?
I paid $550 (including parts) at my local Acura Dealer, they have these one time specials during the dead of winter.KNLNGUS said:MC_ ssup. Ever gambled more money than 4 grand? Although not everyday, more like once a year, I will gamble 4 times that amount on the tables in Vegas. And thats small duckets. Although my intention was not to rack up 4k in repair costs - my gamble paid off. Now, 4-5 hundred doesn't seem so bad, provided that one's intent is to locate a independent shop. I don't think its 4-5 at the dealer. Some people take chances in life and others don't - and we aren't talking about physical pain.

I was told a good indicator is to look at your drive belts. But weather can affect the life of the TB.shahavchik said:Here is a question: " What factors influence timing belt going bad faster?" Is it parking the car outside? Hot/cold weather? Moisture?
