question on timing belts

**erickson** · July 9th, 2007 09:05 PM

good evening.

may paraan ba malaman ang mekaniko para malaman na nagpalit ng timing belt ang isang kotse just by looking/inspecting the timing belt?

bago bili kase kotse ko with 1007k odo reading. company car sya dati and periodic nmn daw maintenance ng company sa vehicles nila sa mga honda casa..

para lang sana maging kampante ako..

salamat sa reply at pasensya na kung stupid ang dating ng question.

kung talagang casa maintained yan...most probably na replace na timing belt nyan..kasi sa casa once you hit 80k kms time to replace timing belt na...saka pde naman ma check visually timing belts kung may mga cracks na sya o wala

well kung casa maintained talaga yan bakit dimo kunin record sa company or don sa pinagbilhan mo para sure ball ka bro.tsaka diba may sticker na nilalagay dyan kung kailan nagpalit?Mahirap din visual checking, kung alang record, better replace it with a new one.

it is usually kilometer used or age of car... 80,000km or 4 years most of the time and interval...

Medyo magulo post mo bro. Since bagong bili car mo, at 1,007 kilometers pa lang ang odometer, then matagal pa bago palitan ang timing belt. It's usually rated at 80 - 100k bago palitan.

Based on your odo, dapat 1st PMS ng car mo is yung 1k mark. Normally, casa mechanics don't inspect the T-Belt at that point

If you have any doubt replace it. Spend now, rather than sorry later.

you can call honda, give your plate number and ask them.

pero when i doubt, replace it. mas ok na gumastos konti now than a lot in the future.

noted sirs. thanks.

bale 107,000 kms pla yung tinakbo..

try ko yung advice ni speedyfix which is to call honda and give my plate number for the maintenance records.

follow -up question lang po.. may sort of common database kaya ang mga honda casa sa mga sasakyang pinapasok sa kanila? yung tipong if i give my plate number then check nila sa records/computer nila it will show na na-service ang car sa honda makati, then honda pampanga, etc.. with the corresponding repairs na ginawa nila or separate ang records for each honda branch?
