#1883 of 1936 Re: Honda Timing Belt Replacement Advice [kym28] by zendao Sep 16, 2009 (9:07 pm)
Replying to: kym28 (Sep 16, 2009 1:32 pm) High $800 seems to be a constant for this type of job. But they also suggested doing valve adjustments which would bring it to $1,000. Is this a necessity? Is the access to the valves just as involved as getting at the belts and water pump? Replies to this message: thegraduate (Sep 17, 2009 5:07 am) zendao (Sep 17, 2009 8:19 pm)

Replying to: zendao (Sep 16, 2009 9:07 pm) If the car is still running smoothly, I wouldn't let them touch my valves. Replies to this message: zendao (Sep 17, 2009 8:19 pm)

Replying to: thegraduate (Sep 17, 2009 5:07 am) What would be the advantage of having the valve adjustment done?   I notice that randomly and infrequently when the car is paused at a stop light/sign when I begin to press on the gas pedal the car will will make a small but subtle jerking motion then everything is fine. It is very difficult to reproduce this problem. Would a valve adjustment fix this or does it sound more like transmission problem?

Replying to: blufz1 (Sep 14, 2009 8:17 pm) Thanks Blufz1.it does have Honda ATF and has always had it since it was always the dealer that repaired the car. I find that if I add Lucas to the ATF it doesnt slip.

Replying to: chestnut (Feb 08, 2007 10:04 am) Same issue (SRS light always on), dealer said $65 diagnostic fee that will be applied towards repair. The Driver side seat belt buckle was faulty. It was covered by Honda life time warranty so fixed for no charge (not even diagnostic fee).
#1888 of 1936 high milage maintenance by josterholt Sep 24, 2009 (6:42 am)
we just bought a 1999 Accord with 112,000 miles. it has an automatic, and has just had the timing belt and the catalytic converter changed. Besides the usual oil change and probably a coolant flush, is there anything else that is unique to the Accord that I need to pay attention to?   Thanks in advance for your help.   Jack Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 24, 2009 6:54 am) bajajoes (Sep 24, 2009 9:44 am) jodar96 (Sep 24, 2009 10:01 am) skywatcher_88 (Sep 24, 2009 5:30 pm)

Replying to: josterholt (Sep 24, 2009 6:42 am) brake fluid flush if it hasn't been done recently would be a good idea.   You can get a full maintenance schedule for your Accord here at Edmunds.   Here's the link:   http://www.edmunds.com/maintenance/select.html

Replying to: josterholt (Sep 24, 2009 6:42 am) If you just bought the car with 112,000 miles it would be prudent to ascertain that the 105,000 mile service was performed.   This particular serviice is expensive and extensive and if the person was getting ready to sell the car it may have been neglected.
#1891 of 1936 Re: high milage maintenance [josterholt] by jodar96 Sep 24, 2009 (10:01 am)
Replying to: josterholt (Sep 24, 2009 6:42 am) Beside the brake fluid flush, if there are no record of any maintenance work, I would suggest to have the transmission flush done first, then the pan dropped and filter/gasket replaced, replace air filter, cabin filter and spark plugs.   If you are handy you can do all of these except transmission service.

Replying to: jodar96 (Sep 24, 2009 10:01 am) All good suggestions except Honda don't recommend "flushing" anything. For the transmission, do a "drain & fill" x3 with ATF-Z1 fluid and you are good to go.
