My current mileage is 92000 Kms.















































1. At what mileage should the belt be changed if its a belt and not a chain? Is the belt on the left side of the engine about 2 inches wide? spinning over 3-4 pullys? about approx 1 meter long?































2. What other accessories or part have to be changed? i.e. water pump or tensioner pully? if yes then why do they need to be changed?

What your describing is the serpentine belt and if this has not been change yet do it.















The car has a chain and should be done at about 60000 miles so you are due.















It's best to replace the water pump and tensioner at the same time you have the timing chain done.















Why do you do this, just proper maintenance, and you would not want to have that chain break then cause more damage.















Hope this helps

Timing chain,no service intervalve,the belt you see is serpentine,which drives AC and alternator,replace when cracked or make noise.

I have this car abd researched that prior to buying. You have a chain. You're good for 125K miles. Then it's also the water pump, and may as well do the hoses- preventative maintenance.

not familiar with the accord vti-l, you must be in europe or austrailia, but the 2005 Accords in the US come with the K24 motor which is a timing chain motor.

It does not have a belt.































You therefore do not need to change anything.































Water pump would be changed with a timing belt if it is driven by the timing belt not because it needs to be changed but to save the expense of removing and installing the belt again if the water pump failed.































Since you don't have a belt then there is no need to change the water pump until it needs changing [begins to leak or make noise etc.] No timing belt also mean no tensioner to change.































Note: A 6 cylinder Accord does have a belt.
