The 2006 Honda Accord is equipped with a timing belt and requires maintenance in various areas. The coolant should be replaced every 60,000 miles, while the air filter should be changed every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. Spark plugs typically need replacing every 100,000 miles, unless a copper spark plug is used, in which case replacement is needed every 30,000 miles. Potential engine issues to watch out for include overheating which can result in serious consequences like car fires or vehicle explosions. Other problems may include excessive oil consumption, detached spark plugs, loose gaskets, and oil leaks - all of which should be addressed promptly.
In the 2006 Honda Accord, the V6 model features a timing belt, while the 4-cylinder model has a chain instead.
I was shocked by how grim and catastrophic James B's response seemed. I've witnessed numerous Honda vehicles surpass 200,000 miles when properly cared for. I always suggest getting an inspection before making a purchase.
How frequently do you need to replace the timing belt?
