The US service manual states that the timing belt should be replaced at 72 months (6 years) or 90,000 miles. The vast majority of NSXs hit 6 years well before they are anywhere near 90k miles so many owners are wondering if they really need to change the belt at 6 years.
I have a 2001 VW Passat. The timing belts are supposed to be replaced every 80,000 miles, and I am at 160,000 miles, looking to replace them again. I went to a European specialty shop who has done some work on my car before, and they gave me an estimate of 850$, for all parts and labor.This seems absurdly high to me.f the labor is around $85 to $90 an hour, that's $510 to $540 in just labor alone, Then there is the cost of parts, the belt, the tensioner, most likely a new water pump as most pumps in driven off the timing belt now days, May as well do it while you are in there.
