These are the Acura and Honda vehicles powered by the 3.5L V6 engines with no power steering pumps (that is, replaced by a electric motor assist power steering system). The belt replacement procedure is different when compared with the hydraulic power steering system. This video will show you step-by-step on how to replace the timing belt, water pump, idler pulley and tensioner pulley performed on a 2016 Acura MDX. The procedure should be nearly identical with other Acura and Honda vehicles (list show below). This video was made possible by the GMB Corporation who was kind enough to provide OE (Original Equipment) quality replacement parts to perform this service. GMB is a Japanese auto parts manufacturer established in 1943 and maintains a global presence in the auto parts industry. Thank You GMB!
The timing belt service interval is approximately 105,000 miles or 7/8 years...whichever comes first. With 100,000 miles on this MDX, either the belt was stretching or the belt tensioner was beginning to fail.
Unless you have a powered impact tool used with 19 mm high mass impact socket, removing the harmonic balancer bolt is next to impossible. If you have no prior experience replacing a timing belt, expect to spend anywhere between 6 to 8 hours to complete the job. Replacement of the water pump will release coolant from the engine block. This would be a good time to change out the coolant from the radiator which would constitute a complete fluid exchange. Acura / Honda coolant, which is blue in color, will start turning green to indicate the coolant is beginning to wear out.
