I would absolutely change the timing belt and keep driving it if that's what you want to do. Just get OEM parts or AISIN parts as a more affordable aftermarket option. If it's still solid and useful, probably just take my chances at that point, or maybe try to do it myself.Įdit - as another poster said, you can have a non-honda shop do it. Since we did ours at 110K, I'll probably drive it to 225K. If you have, you should have quite a few miles left before you have to do it again. Have you done the belt yet? If not you are on borrowed time. If you have the 6 speed trans (higher end models) - that's a better unit than the 5 speed. We do a drain and fill of the trans annually and put a trans cooler on, just for preventative. Changed rear shocks and front struts about a year ago.
Muzzled the cylinder deactivation very early on - that's probably the weakest feature of the vehicle, and will cause oil leaks eventually. Had to change one axle since the boot tore, had something noisy in the steering that needed to be greased, had to change a door actuator - those last two were very cheap. Bought it when we had 3 in car seats - aged 0, 0 and 3. We have a 12 Odyssey with the 5 speed that we bought new. Should I just forget the timing belt and get another car? In another 2 years the car will be 12 years old and worth maybe $3K. Would you change the timing belt and see what happens or sell before the timing belt change. Does anyone have experience with going over 200K in an Odyssey?
I thought if I kept up with maintenance I could get to 250 or 280K. He said I could get lucky and not have issues beyond 200K but in his experience that was not the case. he said in his experience he sees oil leaks, and failing parts that require replacement beyond regular maintenance issues. Today at the service center the mechanic said when it's time to change the timing belt I need to think about how much money I want to spend on the car. We've kept up with regular maintenance and we have 2 middle schoolers so the mini-van is great for long trips and hauling. It is now at 150K and our plan was to change the timing belt when the time came and drive it another 70-80K. I have a 2012 Honda Odyssey bought new that has been running fine for the past 100,000 miles. I was curious to see what folks would say to this situation.
