Do I need to change the cambelt for my Honda accord 1997? I did it about 5 years ago but I ran only about 20,000Km since then.
If it is yes, how much it will cost?
Thanks,

xinhuai

Hi there,
I recommend having your local mechanic inspecting the belt and making recommendations from there. Even though you have only travelled 20k, it is more the 5 years that would factor in wear on the rubber cam belt. It is always better to follow the manufactures specs on time or km's whichever comes first.
