People usually do the water pump at the same time as most of the labor is duplicated. > I'll have the car for several more years, at least. Then that should really be the deciding factor. An investment of much less than a major repair now to avoid a major repair in the future. |

If you're absolutely sure the miles are right, then not before 60k but in any event by or before 100k. Keep everything else maintained regularly (proper fluid levels). If you want to spend some money on something have the radiator/cooling system backflushed >Also, if now, what about related stuff (water pump, etc.) >at 48,000 miles? Any need to do that as well?

Re: Timing Belt Question
accord v6 timing belt doesnt need changing,as far as a dealer here is
concerned,until 168,000 kilometers.I was told this last week,I have a 2001,but I think that wouldnt make a difference. Maybe you are being extra cautious,and there is nothing wrong with that...just thought I would pass that on to you.
