2001 Honda Accord EX V6 Timing belt replacement maintenance schedule
My owners's manual for my 2001 Honda Accord EX V6 states that the timig belt
should be replaced at 105,000 miles or 7 years which ever comes first. The
problem is I only have 26,600 miles on the car but the Honda service
department that I contacted stated the timing belt should be replaced due to
the 7 year rule. I know that tires will deteriorate with age, sun/weather,
but I,m not to sure if that apply to a timing belt. I would appreciate any
information/advice on this subject. Thanks.

Yes, timing belt material does deteriorate with time. Plus,
in theory the miles you may have spent a lot of time at
idle, accumulating no miles on the odometer but certainly
accumulating run time on the engine and its parts. Have the
timing belt changed.

Well, why would Honda even mention it if it wasn't necessary??
Sheesh.....
Replace it and save multiple thousands of dollars later.

Thanks for the input info. I don't know if my Honda engine is a "Interence
Engine" or not but I don't want to take a chance so I'll change out the
timing belt.

Both miles and time are equally weighted, so do the change. Your dealer
will most likely recommend replacement of the drive belts and the water
pump. Although you don't have that many miles on the car give some thought
to doing the replacements since the additional cost is not that excessive.
