alright so i just passed up 60k on my odometer so im going to do the scheduled maintenance including the timing belt and water pump. i was just wondering if i should just buy the belt or the entire kit to replace it?

 

has your car been in a garage its entire life? man that is some low miles. as for the belt I have no clue

 

actually yeah you should change both at the same time.

 

damn i have more miles on my 03 cl

 

damn 60K i think my car hit than in 99 lol
and lol at the comment below your post

 

timing belt @ 60k? that seems really low i've never had a car had one changed before 100k or so.... and lowmiles? pshh mines got 45k =P

 

I have 3x the miles you do.






.....almost.

Depends on how bad your belt is though. You'll probably be fine.

 

i got the car last year in may with 45k. it was owned with a elderly lady in florida with obviously never drove it. in the owners manual it says at 60k.. i've never owned a car with this low of mileage so i just wanted keep it maintained so fuck myself over later..

 

Man, I garaged my car at 105K a year ago, 60K is crazy

 

46k rolled over to today =P i think i win the award for lowest mileage 1st gen cl

 

eh 60k isnt bad, i got 66k on mine now.

 

Just to aid your decision...I have 99.5k on my '99, the chick before me never got the 60k maintenance check. The price for the maint. is 800$ if done at a dealer, so if anyway possible, do it yourself.

 

In this case the timing belt is not going to go from wear, but from old age possibly. Bought mine with 64k not even a month ago and I did it and the water pump etc all as a precaution.
