I have a 2005 EX Auto with approx. 56000 miles. Last week I noticed that the serpentine belt was leaving rubber deposits on the idler pulley and that the belt was showing some wear down the middle of the backside of the belt. Otherwise the belt seemed to be in great shape. I took it to the local honda dealer in Round Rock, TX and they said that the belt seemed OK other than the wear on the back side and that there was no problem with the tention or bearing of the idler pulley. They recommended replacing the belt but warned that because of the heat the new belt may also leave rubber deposits. The new belt is also leaving deposits after only a 100 miles or so since replacement
I also have a 2007 Accord 4cyl with 57,000 miles and it shows no wear on the belt. I know that the element turns the engine faster and works harder because of the weight and wind resisdence but I can't understant why the belt would take such a beating.
Have any of you had this problem?
