![]() ![]() When I took delivery of the car at 115k I was uneasy not having these items done so I immediately started taking care of them irregardless of what the Maintenance Minder said or didn't say. I've been driving Honda's for almost twenty years now and understand that maintenance items were historically spelled out in the manual based on time/mileage. Not sure how "smart" the Honda Maintenance Minder was in 2006 but it may very well have the ability to gather information based on driving conditions and calculate service intervals based on that? Yes, spark plugs, timing belt, water pump and valve adjust come under Maintenance Minder sub item "4". Is it really possible to judge the belt's lifespan by looking at it? All the Hondas we've owned just spells out when to change it in plain text, not buried in with all of the other maintenance items in the table they usually use. In fact, my Maintenance Minder has yet to ask for a timing belt or valve adjust service and I'm now approaching 120k.Īnyway, if the assumption on the date code is correct, my original belt could be 39th week of 2005, my car being a 2006 model year.ĭoes the maintenance minder include the schedule for replacing the timing belt? It's not a "smart" system that determines the belt condition either. ![]() Other than the printing wear which is no big deal, this belt still looks perfectly serviceable to me. I was actually able to capture something with my phone. What are the chances this was replaced 10k miles ago? The other alternative is 115k miles ago (aka it's the original belt). Here's a photo of the print on the back of the belt. Now i'm trying to figure out if my timing belt is old. I'm on a student budget and just paid for tires and a timing belt tensioner (which I did myself along with adjusting the valves). So, I don't mean to hijack the thread (well.I guess I kinda do), and I know this convo ended in May, but I thought i would give it a try. ![]() So how hard is it to properly store to Gates standards a bunch of loose leaf in a bag Honda OEM timing belts? On a side note, I find it interesting how the OEM Honda branded UNITTA belt appears to come packaged in a plain sealed plastic bag when the Gates rep I spoke to on the phone today listed off an original "box" preferably not stored on it's side, and not bent or crimped. I can't get a good pic of my original timing belt stamping because the stamping is all but warn off, camera won't pick it up. The pic below is the same timing belt that was factory correct for my 2006 Accord. Looking around the web, the only way I can find for the general consumer to buy a 197YU20 UNITTA stamped timing belt is to fork out the bucks at the Honda parts counter. One just needs to connect the dots, e.g., -> UNITTA - MADE IN JAPAN The newer Gates box from O'Riley's has all the same clues as my earlier Gates box. If you need a product VERY quickly and you need to be sure that we have it in stock, please e-mail or call us or send a message via ''ask a question about this product'' below in the product description.Still wondering if the Gates belt made in Japan from O'R is equivalent to or same as the Gates Unitta belt? Just updated box? We only want to give our customers actual information on the moment of processing the order so we don't mislead our customers. We deliberately provide stock information about our products afterwards, because many suppliers do not offer a ''stock link system'' and we do not want to show '' estimates '' in advance, like many other webshops do (which are often incorrect and give you wrong information in advance). Upon receipt of your order, we will always inform you about this and offer any available alternatives. Naturally it is possible that a product has an (unexpected) longer delivery time. 80% of the products in our store are in internal or external stock and we can often process your order quickly ( varying from a few hours to a number of business days). ![]()
