Hello , Your 2004 Chevy Impala with the 3.8 V6 does not have a timing belt it has a timing chain and as long as you have maintained it ( changed the oil on time ) you should be able to go 200,000 miles or without having it changed.
Which engine is it? 2.7 Lit V6? 2.4 I4 - 4 cylinder? or the 3.5 V6? Each one is different.
1. 2.4 I4, 4 cylinder - located at the front of the engine at the crankshaft (behind timing belt cover)
2. 2.7 Lit V6 - Near transmission on the left hand side in the engine block behind the right edge of the exhaust manifold
3. 3.5 lit V6 - located at the front of the engine at the crankshaft (behind timing belt cover)
it really depends on the engine (l4 or v6) and where you are. california orices i would say around $450 -$600(private or dealer and L4) - $800-$1000(private or dealer v6). it is not a very complicated job, however if you screw up you can bend valves so timing and information IS critical for a do it yourself er. since i believe you are talking about an overseas model the engines should be about the same and prices "close". cheers
2003 and up Honda Accord with 4 cylinder engines do indeed have a chain and the V6 has a belt which must be replaced at 110,000 miles. Why? Ask Honda, they designed the engines.
