Hi folks,
Maintenance Minder came off on our 10 years old CR-V with A14 code at little over 105K miles calling for as per manual for following manufacturer recommended services:
Local Honda dealer I usually go to for oil changes (I know, they should be avoided like a plague for anything but buying a car for cash but it is simply a convenient place and I don't mind spending few dozen $ extra on oil changes there) is now quoting 100K service (without even looking at the vehicle) which on top of manufacturer recommended services include:
Few questions:
1) I am reading conflicting statements that 2013 CR-V AWD 2.4L 4-cylinder does not even have a timing belt but rather timing chain which never needs replacement which means my somewhat trusted dealer is saying something very questionable here...
2) If 2013 CR-V AWD 2.4L 4-cyl does have a timing belt and I am only planning on keeping the car for maybe 2-3 more years before selling it at which point it will be 12-13 years old with probably 130K miles on it should I roll the dice and stick with as per owners manual A14 services and politely decline dealer's 100K service package at this point?
Thanks in advance!
