★ Top Answer
This Honda Accord has a timing chain, not a belt. The timing chain is built to last the entire lifespan of the vehicle, so as long as everything goes smoothly, you shouldn't have to worry about it. However, it is still possible for the timing chain to get damaged or fail in some cases. If this occurs, you'll notice the car quickly overheating. Replacing the timing chain will cost around $100 for the part and another $100 for labor. When purchasing online, be cautious as some retailers may mistakenly label both a timing chain and a timing belt as a cam belt. Remember, a timing belt will not be compatible and could leave you with a useless part.
