Hi group, been lurking and studying for a while,...I'm working on my girlfriends 2000 accord 3.0 V6, with 105,000 miles on it.
She has had the car since new, car runs perfect, but I know the water pump and timing belt are on borrowed time,so I opened it up.
I am amazed at how pristine everything is !! No oil leaks, timing belt only shows wear on the back where it rubs on the idler, not stiff.
Water pump looks new, tight and no corrosion,..tensioner tight and idlers smoothe and tight.?????
I am still replacing them of course, but I can't believe how littlr wear they show!!
She doesn't recall if the hoses have ebver been changed,..they are yusa's, and look great,...is there a date code on factory hoses?

 

welcome to the forum. I have not found any dates on hoses, honda changes them on condition. I have changed them on 5 year intervals. To date never had a damaged hose water or vaccum.
