I have a question, I have a 2001 Honda Accord, EX 4 cyl model. I just recently surpassed the 90K mile marker. Is there a 90K mile tune up I need to take it in for? Thanks Post #: 1

I'm not sure if the timing belt has ever been replaced. I'm new to learning about cars: what is the seals, tensioners, & water pump. I had the tranny drained & refilled during an oil change in Dec, air filter was also replaced at that time. How much does all that cost? (in reply to sir_nasty) Post #: 3

I believe that if you had a mechanic do all the work you're looking at anywhere from $400-$600 for all the parts/labor _____________________________ 1981 Civic Station Wagon - ROhnda (Really Old Honda) 1981 Honda CB650 Motorcylce - WHEE What More can I say? 2000 Lexus RX 300 - Oooh baby my wife let me drive it once!!

Here is a great rule to follow all of your life...If and when you purchase a new USED car...treat it as if nothing has been done to it at all and then do most everything..this is the only true way you will know if something has been done..eNuff Said WheelBrokerAng _____________________________ " Prejudice Saves Time ; It Enables Us To Form Opinions Without Facts " (in reply to cardumbie87) Post #: 5

I wish I could do something about it, but at this point I dont really have $400 or so laying around to get that checked out. I would def do that if i could but I'm a student in college...trying to survive. I'm concerned the timing belt might go out soon, but praying for the best. (in reply to WheelBrokerAng) Post #: 6
