Timing belt water pump tensioner, thermostat coolant oil, oil filter, air filter, sparks you can do a clean up for ivac ,throttle body , check idle, tappets. Check brakes, pads, brakes oil transmission fluid , tyres wheel alignment ...
Is there more what would be done by Honda.
You're planning to do it yourself ?
Nope, I gave a few places a call today and it all different depending on who you call. Honda wants 1024, hannys around the same, my mechanic for my misses car said around the 800 mark, but the thing is I would like to gets done for piece of mind.Quote:

Just my experience.
A list of what is exactly done would be appriciated....
a quick read in your owner or service manual would be appriciated....Quote:

You are free to do more or less as you wish. Some places will do other things based on their experiences etc. I would trust Hannys.
If you like, we can list ever single possible problem for you and recommend replacing everything, just to play with your balls if you like.
if hannys changes more stuff than honda and its roughly the same cost. go hannys
honda services theory was if it aint broke don't fix it.. I would prefer not to say which place said this.
interesting. that's really bad. I thought they always try to sell you things you don't need :SQuote:

Full major service: Oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, Throttle body clean, adjust tappets, clean IACV. as for replacing the water pump if it was at 100,000 i personally would inspect and go from there, but at 200,000km if it still had the original water pump in it id definitely change it as its rare for anycar to go to the next major which is 300,000km without the water pump deciding to spit it. Tensioner id definitely replace. Its all a peace of mind thing at the end of the day. And quit the bitching......if you didnt want opinions about what should be done and whats included in the service dont ask the question.
water pump only spits it if you lax on the coolant changes in my experience.Quote:

You'd be paying for labour cost of removing timing belt just so you can access the water pump. If hannys can do all that Goethe same price as Honda but with more items, why not. Personal insurance IMO
Just take it someone you trust, give them your maintenance schedule & say you want it done by the book (also known as a log book service - this is not only for cars under warranty).. The schedule details everything that needs to be done and even if you can't read it, they will be able to. You would expect Honda to do everything by the book, but in reality, from what i've seen, they over charge & under service. The only time you (well, *I*)deal with Honda is when you want OEM parts or an entirely new car straight off the production line.. For anything else, find an independent mechanic with real, honest experience.
hey BLUDGER.....with the whole coolant ruins water pumps i can and cant agree. i agree that not changing the coolant will somewhat determine the lifespan of the water pump but having been a mechanic for almost 15 years now i see cars that are 1-2 yrs old that require water pumps replacing due to premature wear. Namely Holden alloytecs are what i see. so for me id have to disagree on the whole keeping the coolant up to scratch to save your water pump. Youd also have to take into account that waterpumps run bearing and seals in them and it only takes a car to overheat good and proper to harden the seal in a waterpump and cause it to start leaking!! Im just talking from personal experience over my time as a day to day mechanic! not pun intended to anyone and not trying to sound like a hot head!
no problem m8.Quote:

so your 15 years as a pro > me.
personally I'm in two mind.
if on a budget and it's still goos, then leave it.
if money don't matter so much then replacing it while the timing belt is out is a good idea too.
either way works for me.:)
yeah and i agree with you on the whole if it aint broke dont fix it saga! well said
I reckon if your already there, might as well do it. Think about the hassles it can cause later, and it will save you too much time later. Can we really put $ figure on time? Specially on higher KM cars, even if I'm broke ill still do w/e I can on the budget.
Just do it right the 1st time around.
200k is timing belt and relevant parts.Quote:

That can be done any time.
IMO if ur doin the belt, water pump etc etc, and its sitting at 200,000kms replace the crank seal as well, as its gonna b a bitch later on if it starts leaking.... its known to happen, but again it may not leak at all in the future so 50/50, but like all things its gonna break eventually
Yes. When the timing belt is off, change ALL front seals. Those rubber seals should be good for 5 years/100,000km.
They won't leak straight away at 5 years. Maybe 6th year or so.
i find it strange that honda doesnt mention anything about replacing those seals as major service especially if its sitting at that age or kms
Or do they actually change the seals without u knowing when goin in for the major service at Honda?
Its normally a given. Them seals come with a timing belt kit.
