    Can anyone give me an idea of what it would cost to replace the timing belt
    in a 1998 Honda Accord V6? The dealership told me $750 US. That seems very
    high.

    The belt package (timing, balance, and drive belts) on a 98 I4 Accord cost
    me right at $500.00 about year ago. Should imagine the V6 is close to the
    estimate given you by the dealer.

  3. Replacing the water pump (which should always be done with the timing belt
    IMHO) would add another $150 to $200 to the job.

    Actually, the package at the local Honda dealer included the water pump --
    should have included that.

    Thought it was a pretty decent price given everything that was done -- got
    it back the same day.

    About three hours. Not bad. Took me ten hours first time I ever did it.
    Probably actually took the tech two.




    The prices are quite decent. You weren't ripped off at all.
