Ok, it was 110 degrees F, and minus 20 degrees F. You would have to live in an extreme climate, to need the timing belt changed at 60k miles.

I've misplaced my owner's manual. What is the normal timing belt replacement interval for the rest of us with current generation Accord V-6 motors? On my '91 Accord EX 4 cyl. it was 90k miles.

I too have an '04 Accord V-6 where the fronts outlasted the backs. Factory front brakes and rotors were replaced at 14k miles by the dealer due to warped rotors (I bitched and they listened). Rears were replaced at around 43k (I put on ceramic pads).
 
Front rotors are warping again (just starting to pulsate a little) now at around 67k and I intend to drive the car until the pulsation worsens to the point that I think its unsafe (probably another 3-4k miles - which is only 5-6 weeks for me).
 
When I first got the car, the brakes were TIGHT - I mean, there was no modulation in the pedal - it was GO or DROP ANCHOR HERE - no in-between. I complained but was told this was normal for this car.
 
Oh, and, for the record, I ALWAYS replace rotors instead of cutting them. Most of what you save on the cost of the rotors, you spend on labor for the time it takes to turn them so the overall price to the consumer is not that different. Besides, once cut, a resurfaced rotor is thinner and will heat up and warp again that much faster than a newer thicker one - this can only lead to another round of warping+pulsation=brake job and probably sooner than it happened the first time.

105k miles or 84 months for the V6 timing belts, hondalova. Severe or normal conditions.

Thanks elroy5 - I'm at 67k now and driving 25k-30k per year so that means I'm good for another 12-15 months.

2006 with 12,000 miles just started an intermittent stalling at idle. Any ideas?

Check to see if your car is affected by the "main relay" recall. If not, your still under warranty.

Actually it's not my car. I'm just visiting family & their Accord just started doing it. What exactly is the main relay recall?

Here's a link about the recall. It may not include the 06 Accord.

Yeah, doesn't apply to the 2006 Accord... and the bad relay causes the car to shut off & not restart. This is running fine except at idle, then it restarts. Thanks though. Any other ideas?
