The 2012 Honda Odyssey comes with a timing chain, which is designed to last the lifetime of the car according to the manufacturer. However, wear and tear or a faulty timing chain tensioner can lead to issues. Over time, the chain may stretch or warp, causing the car to run roughly, hesitate, or even stall. Sometimes upon starting the engine when it's cold, you may hear a slapping noise, which can be mistaken for a lifter ticking. The estimated cost of replacing the timing chain typically ranges from $250 to $300 on average, but the actual cost will depend on the labor involved in removing and replacing the parts.

Regarding the statement "never listen to a woman," as a married man, I have a personal tale to share. Years ago, when my wife and I were on a tight budget and our minivan developed a radiator leak, I was too busy with work to handle the $1000 repair cost. I was dreading having to tackle the complex job of replacing the radiator upon my return home. However, to my surprise, my wife, who had no mechanical experience, took it upon herself to change out the radiator for just $150 from Autozone. Initially skeptical, I was amazed when she explained each step of the repair, using terms like 'thingy' for some components. She undertook the task because she knew I needed a break from mechanical work. I was truly touched by her effort and considered it a very thoughtful gesture. This experience taught me never to underestimate the remarkable capabilities of the special woman in my life. Women are truly invaluable and deserve to be cherished.

I suggest going with the Aisin tkh-002 timing belt kit, which comes complete with the idler pulley, water pump, hydraulic tensioner, and tensioner pulley alongside the belt.

Which is the correct option? Belt or chain? Only a Honda mechanic or engineer should provide an answer to that question.

I have been working as a mechanic for over 12 years. The statement below me is not accurate - all Honda Odysseys have utilized timing belts that should be changed at regular intervals as recommended by the manufacturer. Failure to do so can result in engine damage since they are all interference engines. Despite some minor revisions over the past 25 years, the engines have remained fundamentally the same. They are known for their reliability and proven performance. I can attest to this personally, as my mother drove her 2005 Odyssey for 15 years with over 250,000 miles before selling it.

Connect a series of links, forming a continuous line or sequence.

Based on what my Honda repair expert informed me, every Honda Odyssey equipped with the 3.5 engine is fitted with timing belts.

Honda utilized belts exclusively in their V6 Odysseys.
