My TL is due for its first Timing Belt and Water Pump replacement. I don't really need any opinions about whether to take it to the dealer or do it myself, because my father who is a mechanic is going to do it for me. I was just wondering where I should get the parts from, and how much they should be

So you have a "4" showing on the MID? Otherwise, it's not due yet....

 

Google search is your friend...include acurazine in your search words...

 

Just did this myself the gates is 130 on rockauto and the Aisin 177. Include a serpentine belt, thermostat, plugs, and power steering fluid/coolant and you should be good to go. I also elected to buy the bolts from the dealer. The timing belt idler, adjuster, adjuster pulley, crank pulley all seemed like likely candidates for replacement. The idler pulley came with threadlock pre applied from Honda. The plugs and other items I mentioned seemed to be within a dollar or two everywhere I could find them. NGK plugs $10 a pop shipped and Gates on the drive belt about $20 shipped.

 

I mean the bolts, sorry.

 

I also went with the gates about 20k ago with no issues. From what I've read the Aisin is the exact same as the OEM from the dealer but for a fraction the cost. Either way you can't go wrong, and rockauto is the best prices for pretty much every part for any car I've searched.
