Accessory belts

How many miles before the accessory belts generally need to be replaced/adjusted?

When they start to look worn out. I dont think there is a set replacement on them, just when they start to look like there wearing away along the edges, or anywhere on them.

I look for cracks on the backside of the belts (ribs) as an indication for me. It still would have life left, but thats when I replace them. I would guess anywhere from 50-70 k miles maybe, Possibly longer.

I went 90k on mine. They were included in the Timing belt service, so Honda changed them for me when i got that done. Not sure what the honda recommended interval is on them.

I changed mine at the same time I replaced my timing belt at 110K. When I pulled them off, I creased them and the belts were dry and cracked bad. Timing belt was fone though. LOL.

when they look old.. time to replace them. Do do that at like 90k, because then around 100-110k, you'll have to have them taken off agian for the timing belt, I would just let them go untill it's time for the timing belt.
