Just got my '01 Acura 3.2CL typeS allignment adjusted and the shop had suggested that I get all kinds of stuff taken care of on my car summing up to about $1300 dollars. It included stuff like the timing belt, water pump, ac belt.... (i will post a more detailed list later with costs, i am in class right now). Just wanted to know if anyone else had gotten any of this done and if all of it was neccesary?

 

105k is the big one. If it hasn't been done before I would get it done. Having a timing belt snap is a no no.

 

shop around for a good private garage

 

timing belt nd water pump are a must . what is the breakdown of the quote? ie how much is the timing belt .

 

105K service is an involved one...lots of stuff needs to be cleaned/replaced/etc etc
main thing would be timing belt & water pump....try to stay away from the "stealership" though & find a good reputable garage..where's your location btw??

 

sounds about right
tbelt
tensioner
front seal while youre in there
waterpump
thermostat
plugs/wires
coolant drain/fill
accessory belts

I'd also check on your motor mounts.

 

What is the consensus of opinion on if this major service (timing belt, etc) needs to be done early. My '01 is 7.5 years old but only has 60K miles on it. I know the factory says to do at 7 years or 105K miles but would rather wait some additional time unless it is too risky. Thanks

 

Can anyone post the actual dealer/service manual 105K link?
