So I just got this 2001 Accord about 3 weeks ago. It's got 210K miles on it now but runs really well. I'm planning on keeping this car pretty much until the wheels fall off and the way it's running right now, it seems like it's got another 100K left in it.

I'm sure the timing belt has been replaced at least once already but I'm not 100% sure when (and the previous owner doesn't know either).

So I got some prices from a few dealers in the $700-900 range but I was able to locate a few independent mechanics who will do the job for $250-300 labor only if I bring them the parts.

I was looking into buying OEM parts and so my question is: for an Accord with 210K, what are ALL the parts I should look into changing? Since the mechanic is going to be down there, I wouldn't want to leave any parts unchanged and then later on it fails.

I know the basics like timing belt, water pump, t.b. tensioner...but is there any other parts I should get changed at the same time?

Thanks for any feedback.

 

Timing belt, balance shaft belt, the two tension pulleys, and the water pump. Front balance shaft seal retainer (there was a Honda recall on this).

You may want to do the three shaft seals (crank, cam, and front balance shaft) also the o-ring behind the rear balance shaft housing.

 

ok thanks
