Why is the timing belt on my Honda Odyssey not working?
It’s highly unlikely that the water pump not being replaced caused the failure. The usual reasons for timing belt failure are tensioner and/or belt. The reason water pumps are replaced is because they will often begin to leak before the next timing belt interval, not because they will cause timing belt failure.
What kind of car does Honda Odyssey have?
I have a 2005 Honda Odyssey EX-L 3.5L V6 SOHC 24V with an interference engine. My timing belt broke while driving about 20 miles per hour. As soon as it broke, the car turned off and I drifted about 10 yards to the side of the road.
What should I do if my timing belt broke?
The cylinder head work alone will cost you $3-400 per head plus all the gaskets and timing belt kit (I recommend Aisin or OE Honda parts only–No Gates or Dayco, etc.) Depending on the mileage of the engine you might even consider a used replacement engine. First thing to do is contact the person who did your timing belt.

Why does my Honda Odyssey make a ticking noise?
Ticking Noise Coming from the Engine: This is one of the easier symptoms to notice right away, because you’ll hear it when you’re driving your car. The timing belt is covered in rubber teeth as they wear down or break off, it causes the belts to run unevenly between the camshaft and the crankshaft.
When to replace a faulty timing belt tensioner?
If you are going to replace the tensioner, it is also a good time to replace the timing belt and the related parts. Since there are many other parts located at the front of the engine that can make similar noises to a failing tensioner, it is important to isolate the noise.
Why does my Honda Odyssey have low oil pressure?
Low Oil Pressure: The teeth falling off of your timing belt can lead to low oil pressure because they can potentially fall into the oil pan below your engine. That clogs up the pan and prevents the oil from circulating properly to lubricate and cool down the engine.

What causes a serpentine belt to get stuck?
The main reason, in most cases, will be a stuck pulley from one of the devices (alternator, AC compressor, power steering pump etc) or a tensioner. A stuck pulley is mostly caused by a worn out bearing. The belt slides over a motionless pulley causing extensive friction, heat and the recognizable sound.
Is the water pump driven by the serpentine belt?
Another important device driven by the serpentine belt is the water pump. This is not always the case as on a lot of cars the water pump is driven by the timing belt. You should have this in mind so you don’t falsely “accuse” the serpentine belt for overheating.
What causes a belt to squeak over pulleys?
Squeaking is caused because the belt is slipping over the pulleys. The slipping is caused because the belt loses ability to produce enough friction between itself and the pulleys (mostly due to material fatigue).
What happens if the serpentine belt is not working?
It provides power for the air conditioning, alternator, power steering, and sometimes the cooling system water pump. The serpentine belt is a critical part of this system, and once the engine is running, it continues to operate until the vehicle is shut off. Without a properly functioning serpentine belt, the engine may not run at all.
How much does it cost to replace a serpentine belt?
The replacement cost is only going to be between $100 and $200 in most cases. The belt itself will cost between $25 and $80 while the labor costs will probably be between $75 and $120. Taxes and fees will be added onto these prices too. The ease of accessing the serpentine belt will determine how much the labor costs are.
Where do you find the serpentine belt on a car?
A serpentine belt, also called an accessory belt, is the main engine belt that you see when you open up the hood of your car. These belts are easily identifiable by their distinct ridges that run the length of the belt on one side.
