Timing Belt on Older Vehicle
Scenario overview
I have a 2016 Acura MDX with 95,000 miles and I think it might be time for a timing belt replacement.
What the caller is dealing with
My mechanic friend told me that I should be thinking about replacing the timing belt on my Acura soon to avoid a major engine problem. The car is running great, but I know this is a preventative thing. Can you give me a quote for a timing belt and water pump replacement? It seems like everyone says to do them both at the same time.
