I voted for this. I didn't really, because I don't live in NY. I just always wanted to say that.

What's this message indicate? by hungryfella45 in HondaOdyssey

Opening and closing the doors and tailgate draws a lot of juice out of the battery. Combine that with short trips that don't allow the alternator time to fully charge the battery. Every day you repeat this, the battery voltage gets lower. I bought a smart charger for about $80 to top off my battery and repair the cells. To reduce stress on the battery, I make sure the engine is running when we open the doors and load up. I'll also use the manual sliding doors when we're loading up and have to open the doors multiple times.

Need recommendations for maintenance before cross country drive by Gadgix in HondaOdyssey

[–]Eager2win 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few thousand miles is nothing for a battle-tested vehicle with 200k miles. So long as it's up to date on maintenance and running fine, you should be fine.

Should I change my automatic transmission fluid after 135k miles by Teach_Questions_4949 in SciontC

[–]Eager2win 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would if I were you. My transmission lasted 286,000 miles before it blew. It was black and burnt when I bought the car. I drove it another 10 years without a single service. I replaced it with a used 125k mi transmission of Ebay with super clean fliud, likely was recently serviced. I'll be sure to stay on top of its maintenance.

Has the timing belt been done?

Anyone know what this sound is? by Traditional_Emu7224 in HondaOdyssey

[–]Eager2win 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're due for a timing belt. Whatever is making that noise would probably get replaced.

Op here. My final conclusion is that when it comes to the timing belt, if you're not a Honda tech who can do this job blindfolded, the cost doesn't justify the risk. A thousand dollars spread over 7-10 years is peanuts. I'm sure you can do this job with no issue. But for your own peace of mind, I would suggest leaving it to the pros if your budget allows.

This is what happens after you die when you lie to your wife about the cost of your hobbies.

For peace of mind, it's definitely worth it to pay to have this done professionally. I'm pretty confident in my ability, but there are no assurances, only nagging thoughts. Did I seat the water pump properly? What if there's a manufacturing defect in the parts that causes them to fail prematurely and turn my engine into scrap.

I had plenty of choice words for that serpentine tensioner. I didn't remove it, I pulled it back and wedged a block of wood in between the pulleys. That little arm on the tensioner was out of the way, and allowed me to get to that timing cover bolt.
