Has anyone dropped the front subframe on this car (and eventually the rear)? I am replacing all the bushings with Prothane bushings and it has already proved difficult just doing the control arm bushings due to rusty bolts and missing tools. Anyways, some info on how to drop the subframe would be greatly appreciated. Back to work in the morning, hope to be able to read something helpful. Thanks in advance.
Ok well I have a wuwuwuwu sound coming from my engine bay. At first I thought it was a pulley or the serpentine belt. Changed them all and the sound was still there. I decided to run the car without the serpentine belt and see if it still made the noise and it did.
Next step was to do the timing belt and water pump since I had to do that anyways. Finished that today and the sound is still there!!!
It gets worse as the car gets hot. It's not always there and sometimes hard to hear. The sound changes a little going from drive to park but not much.
I wanted to get a video of the sound with my phone but it died when I started recording. It will be hard to catch on the phone tho. Its not super loud.
Ive heard PCV valve can make those types of noises?
I have finally replaced my ailing battery with a very pricey Odyssey battery. Everything seems to be working great although I haven't tried listening to the stereo on ACC
yet. Now I have to call my insurance agent about the BB that hit my windshield and has now cracked halfway across. It doesn't interfere with my line of vision but it sure
is annoying! Still loving the car and believe it was the best decision we have ever made about a car.
I feel like this is what Bruce Wayne would drive! What a cool unique luxury vehicle. Never owned a Honda/Acura. It sat at fancy dealer for 2+ months?! helped the negotiating. Was not a fan of flashy dated chrome rims originally, thought I'd swap em out but after dealer detailed I've changed my mind it balances the front end shield and I'm keeping it stock.

Hi all, i have a 2004 ford focus flight. He passed his mot but then on the same day (yep timing couldnt have been worse) i was driving home and suddenly felt like the engine was struggling to the point it nearly cut out, i had to limp to the nearest layby. After a rest though the car ran fine. Now ive done some work to the car, new cat, front and rear lambda sensors new, back box wielded, air filter, spark plugs, fuel filter, oil change and new filter and flexi pipe replaced this weekend coming. I get a cel saying its the cat, but its brand new, there is a tear in the flexi pipe, could this be the reason? Im leaning towards either new fuel pump 😑🙄 or sucking in to much air. Any ideas?
Also sometimes when braking or high speeds i get a noise that sounds like a flat tyre but deffo isnt, this one is baffling me as its only just started. New brakes, track rod end etc have been changed.
Was anthracite metallic the only charcoal variant for the 04-06 model?
I found a mirror on eBay. It doesnt list the color but it looks like AM, which I need.
Here's a 2 minute video of a Model 3 driving itself. Stopping at stop lights, stop signs, going on the highway on ramps, off ramps, merging, left turns, right turns, etc. All by itself.
I was installing splash guards yesterday and noticed that the rear wheel wells are covered by what is essentially...cardboard paper? Whereas the front is covered with plastic.
The paper feels kind of cheap. I have never had or noticed this on my previous car. Will it deteriorate quickly? (Ex. One wet and snowy winter)
Sprays wont work because it's a permeable fabric so coatings won't form well.
Picks go here. Reminder, pick both one driver and one team for the race. You can only pick each driver four times and each team four times the whole season.
Picks close at Saturday, 9 am EST April 27th, or prior to the start of qualifying, whichever comes first.
What do y'all think of the TLX PMC edition? I love the Valencia red pearl color but personally I think the car makes no sense. Im tired of Acura continually just rolling out "special editions" with no power boost or anything but the name or color. What we ALL want is a TLX Type S with at least 350 hp that also has the new precision cockpit in it.
Hey Guys, i have recently picked up an 07 KBP type s with Ebony interior and just hit 140k miles auto trans for $7000 I just want to know if i overpaid. The previous owner has service records from Acura for the timing belt, water pump, suspension, tie rods, numerous oil changes, etc. Also has 2 sets of keys and remote start. The interior is clean except for small rip on drivers seat. The car drives phenomenal. Only flaws are the ac is not blowing cold air, and there is small rust forming. Did i get a fair deal at least? The car itsself drives very good and the paint is very shiny other than the small rust which a friend of mine quoted me $300 to fix
I believe that by now Craigslist has rolled out a $5 listing fee for car sales... and thus a lot of car listings have disappeared. Anyone have some good alternatives for private party car listings?
Okay.... first post here. I always come to check this page if I have trouble with my cars. It has been very informative. SO here we go.
Somebody tried to steal my 04 RSX (base model). They took apart the steering column covering and disconnected everything. I guess they were going to try and hot wire it. After that, the key light flashes and engine will turn over but not start. I called what we will call "Dealership 1" and told them that the if the immobilzer was unplugged then it would erase it and that I'd have to bring it in to have it reprogrammed. They gave me a brake code to try and get it running to bring it in. To my surprise it worked! I was however closer to another Acura dealership which we will call (Dealership 2). Once getting it running I took it to Dealership 2. I told them what happened and told them I needed the immobilizer reprogrammed among some other standard routine maintenance. While waiting, the service advisor tells me that the tech told her that since the light was flashing on the dash that it wasn't the immobilizer and that if it was the immobilizer then the brake code wouldn't work. Of course they charged a $168 diagnostic fee to figure out what was wrong. They issued me a loaner car on Saturday and said they'd call me Monday with a diagnosis.
Monday I get a call and they say the immobilzer is fine but they can't read the chip in the key so that must be the problem. Being that they wanted over $400 to have a key made I told them that I'd get another key made somewhere else and that I'd just come pick up the car later that day. I get a call while on my way to Dealership 2 and they can't get my car to start. I get there and they ask if I want to give it a try. I say yes and proceed to the shop where my car is. I enter the brake code and the battery is dead. The tech is looking at me like (see it won't start). I have them put a jumper box on and it started right up after putting the code in again. The tech told me that the code I got from Dealership 1 wasn't the same print out he got. I shrugged it off and was like cool. Whatever man.
So today I am looking for an OEM blank key at a reasonable price and I come across a picture online for an immobilizer on an RSX and thought "My ignition doesn't look quite like that." I looked and low and behold, they left the immobilzer off of my car at Dealership 2.
My questions are
1. Should the car start up with a brake code even without an immobilizer?
2. Was the Tech full of it when he told me the green light flashing didn't mean it was the immobilizer?
3. How mad should I be after this trip to Dealership 1 where they A: didn't diagnose what was wrong B: Put a synthetic blend in for my oil when I requested and paid for full synthetic and C: Gave me back my car sans immobilzer?
Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks and happy to be on the site.
The only place I could find that repairs the nav units is hi tech electronics.(https://hitechserv.com/). They want $550 to do it. Can anyone recommend another place?
Hello!
I'm a broke college student and all the shops around me are asking for money I simply don't have, so I'm gonna try and replace the alternator myself. Usually when theres a problem with my car, I go to YouTube for a tutorial but I haven't seen anything promising there. All the other tutorials out there are for the 3rd generation TLs, which I'm really jealous since it looks so much more easier to get out than the 2g. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
