anybody know how much a quote from a small shop would go for to replace timing belt ? and the rest of em while there at it ...

TLin401

I got my timing belt, water pump, and a/c belt replaced for $300.

Get OEM stuff.

Let me find the part numbers for you.

TLin401

Here are the part numbers if you want to go OEM.

Timing Belt 14400-PV0-004
Alternator Belt 31110-P1R-004
A/C Belt 31110-PH2-J04 OR 38920-P1R-004
P/S Belt 56992-P1R-004
Water Pump 19200-P1R-003
Water Pump Gasket 19222-PV0-300

myisanog

that was the plan . any idea how much labor would be?

TLin401

Well you have to remove all of the belts to get to the timing belt and water pump so I would guestmiate $300-$500.

bigwerm187

that right there is going to come in handy pretty soooon lol

myisanog

and all parts add up to $165 so im guessing at least 650 for service

TLin401

I hope that you made sure that the belts for the 3.2 because that was mine when I did mine on my 2.5.

I would just double check.

Some of those numbers are the same but I know for sure that the a/c belt is different.

^ Not the ones I sold you right? Those won't fit a stock crank!

~Cheers~

myisanog

BOO TLIN . go CAVS . well im gona end up selling my TL so im not gona do anything to it anymore . just found out the oil leak was from the rear main, tranny jerks hard when shifting, and my alternator belt just started squeaking .. too many problems so im probably gona sell it and switch to a EK hatch...

Go90go

^ From this to an EK? Man, unless you're going to throw it around the track, it's a downgrade!

I drove an EK sedan before, and while I did like it for the economy, I'll never go back to a 4 banger.

~Cheers~

myisanog

yeah .. just wanted a EK because its a gas saver, easy to drive/fix, parts are easy to find. The only bad side of it to me was that they attract attention from the police and that they are stolen easily. either wanted a EK hatch, GSR, or a SI. and no i am not a racer . i just like them cuz there easy to mess with

get focus SVT

myisanog

not a focus fan... i think there hidious . i wanted to get a legend... but there gas killers! i drive my brothers legend here and there and i cant believe how much it kills... like 14-15mpg? ridiculous...

i was also thinking about buying another 1g, but i have lost faith in the tranny that is put in the tl for the 1g and 2g

TLin401

Ummmm I'm not sure what you have been reading but the 1G is probably one of the best trannys that Honda has ever built.

If you changed the screen and did a 9x9 drain and fill, you would 100% feel a difference. If you changed the differential fluid, you would also be feeling a difference.

If you take care of the car, it will take care of you.

The only reason why I'm getting rid of mine is because my car sat from 05-06 without it being started and the internal seals all dried out and went bad. If it wasn't for that, then I would not being getting rid of my car at all!

myisanog

i did a drain and fill on the tranny about 3 months ago and did the differential fluid about 3 weeks ago. transmission is still harsh

maybe i just dont want another 1g because i got bad experiences with this one. if it werent for the leak on the rear main i would have kept it, and got everything else done, but right now my car needs about $3000+ worth of fixing. i also had a deal with a friend who can swap out my tranny for me also for cheap...

but now i just wana get rid of it

bigwerm187

so ur going to get rid of the TL...???? whats wrong with it..??? i love my TL lol

myisanog

i love mines too . the rear main leaks motor oil, tranny is slippin, and need to change belts

KrayzieDxC

o really didnt even know that..but anyways i end up selling it

myisanog

made up my mind! going to get a mark 3 supra .

bigwerm187

dump some of that lucas tranny slip stuff that should help it.. how much oil does it leak..??? little drops.???

myisanog

yeah . i have to pour about a quart in about every 2 weeks

bigwerm187

idk if this really works but i dont use 5w30 i use 10w30 an my little drops of oil oly drip once in a while..

myisanog

i use 10w30 also... i think 5w would leak crazy if i used it since its not as thikc

bigwerm187

btw i also use 1quart of fully synthetic lucas added to my oil also.. lol

myisanog

haha well... im just looking around for cars available in my area... i really want a mk3!

bigwerm187

sooo if u get rid of ur TL how much are u goin to get u gunna sell if for..??? and waht part of cali are u from... cuz the ive never herd of ""City of Trees" lol hahah

myisanog

Sacramento is the city of trees . it has a big water tank thing right when you enter it tht says city of trees lol . if i can get 3500 for it then ill be happy

bigwerm187

yeah better hope they done see that oil leak tho..lol...

Go90go

Don't forget to make sure your bird doesn't fly out of its cage, and if you think we've got problems with the UAs, wait until you get that MA70.

<- Drove MK3 for a little bit.

~Cheers~

bigwerm187

After owning my TL for a couple of yrs now ive learned that is better to research ur car to the fullest before u buy it...

myisanog

yeah im lookin in to the mk3 here and there when i got time ... hopefully they dont notice the oil leak .. if they do, the first thing i will hear is no deal


and yup . i heard the mk3 is known for having blown head gaskets .. hopefully it wont be too bad

myisanog

i have a feeling im going to end up keeping my 1g . just went to the dealership and bought a new tranny screen+ everything needed to do a drain, new plugs, air filter, fuel filter, seafoam, pcv tube+ pipe.

just found out that when i took my car to jiffylube and they did a tranny fluid drain/fill for me they did not use honda z1 or replace my filter . so im going to just drain out the generic fluid and replace the screen and hopefully it will make my car shift alot smoother . will do the differential soon also... maybe next paycheck .

if everything is good and gravy... and my transmission is a ok ... then i will replace all my belts then i am only left with the leak on the rear main .. and i will keep the 1g

myisanog

i love it too much to let it go

TLin401

I encountered this stuff at my local parts store that is a rear main seal leak fix. I'm not sure how good it is but look into because it may help you.

myisanog

are you tlking about this ?
http://www.autozone.com/autozone/cat...uestid=1168907

i read about it ... people say the radiator leak fix that they created works but also clogs up other passageways. and with rear mains, i have not found one who has said it works great because i guess it seems to cause problems down the line and cause a bigger leak after about 6 months . i was reading it and it said that it just makes the gasket swell in order to stop the leak but will weaken it also
