Does a 2001 Honda CRV have a timing belt?

When to change timing belt on Honda CRV?
At www.gates.com it shows the 1997-2001 Honda CRV timing belt due for change at 105,000 miles – a long, long way from your current 66,000 miles. That sound you hear can also stem from a water pump going bad, or a different belt that needs to be replaced.
How can I tell if my timing belt has been changed?
If a person doesn’t know if the belt has been changed, it is possible to pry back the timing belt cover and look in there with a flashlight. It’s about a half hour job and it’s not 100% foolproof but there are markings on the belt that a Honda Tech can look at and see if it’s been replaced. Note, I said a HONDA Tech.
How many miles does a Honda CRV se have?
2000 Honda CR-V SE. 116,000 miles, appears well cared for, runs great, no service records available. By 100,000 miles there should be some play in the chain (more than 1/2 inch). If it’s fairly tight then it’s probably been replaced.
How much does it cost to replace timing belt?
The belt itself is about $70, but the labor is $400. If you get someone to replace the belt, have them replace the water pump as well. The pump will run about $100, but saves you the $400 in labor if it needs to be replaced a couple of months later. Yeah~!I had the same question.
Can you change the timing belt on a Honda CRV?
A person would be foolish not to replace the water pump, seals and drive belts while they are “in there”. If a person doesn’t know if the belt has been changed, it is possible to pry back the timing belt cover and look in there with a flashlight.
