2.4 TLX Rear Main Seal Leak

$
0
0
So I just had an oil change done at my local Acura dealership and they noticed there was a bit of an oil leak and told me to bring it back. They tore it apart and discovered oil everywhere and say the rear main seal went bad. Now my car has 67k miles and I'm at the cusp of the powertrain warranty expiring so at least this will get covered. Same dealership had mentioned they noticed a couple drops of oil a few services and thousands of miles ago but told me it was nothing and may have just been some residue. I've only got like 3k miles of powertrain warranty left and they mentioned that it may not be covered again if I have issues afterwards.

Anyone have any similar issues? I would expect Acura to extend the warranty on that repair or anything related since we found it before hand. I've owned 4 Acuras now if I include my parent's MDX and been with them for nearly 12 years. This is the last thing I expected for a car thats only 3 years old. What should I do? Lemon-law buyback? Sell it and move on to another brand?

I have been searching over the last few days for some XS-P headers for my 2000 and have had little to no luck finding any in stock; was curious if anyone here knew of a place where they could still be purchased?

Front passenger side parking sensor problems

$

has anyone else experienced the front passenger side parking sensor going off (sound as well as visually) when there is nothing near the front car? Sensor lights come on either yellow or orange (never red) on the infotainment screen as well as the one directly behind the wheel. Does not happen all the time but has happened more often when car in left in the sun on hot days. Coincidence perhaps related to hot summer? Dealer said they have seen it but have not come up with a fix, even when sensors were all replaced.

Positive Oil Consumption Test

So Acura came through. After an oil consumption test, Acura approved the work to get my piston rings replaced at no charge. My TL has 100k km (60k miles) and since the motor will be taken apart I was thinking about having some part swapped with some new ones as a preventive maintenance without paying for the labor. The service adviser at Acura told me it wouldn't be a problem. The parts are back-ordered and should be in an a month.

My TL is a 2012 manual transmission with 100k km (60k miles). Besides the regular maintenance (fluids and filter changes and brakes) the car is mechanically stock and runs great. I was thinking about doing the basics... timing Belt, water pump, spark plugs, serpentine belt.

Was wondering if any of you OGs have any advice or suggestions on what I should do. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Remote control programming

I was shocked today to hear that programming an MDX remote control by the Acura dealer costs $136 plus tax! It probably won’t take them more than a minute to so.
That is on top of the $230 for the remote...
Is the programming of it something that the end user can do?

Intermediate shaft tick

So I have 04 TL 6Speed and the problem I'm having is that it shakes under acceleration only. If you're under the car you can hear a small tick from the intermediate shaft. What could it be ? Both wheels look like there moving up and down while rotation and I've put new tires and balanced them. Anyone experience the same thing.?

Is there any way to view the odometer without powering up the car? In my BMWs, hitting the trip reset button would display the odometer, but you couldn't reset it unless the car was powered up.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. — Six seniors were arrested in a conservation area in Connecticut for lewd and sexual activity, the Associated Press reports.

Those arrested, ranging in age from 62 to 85, are accused of meeting up for sexual activity at the Grace Richardson conservation area in Fairfield.

Police set up surveillance and saw several violations.

The arrestees include an 82-year-old man and an 85-year-old woman.

Police arrested 67-year-old Daniel Dobbins and 62-year-old John Linartz for breach of peace and public indecency.

According to the Connecticut Post, Dobbins was also arrested in May of 2017 for walking around a New Canaan park naked. He reportedly told responding officers he was naked for medical reasons.

Otto D. Williams, 62; Charles L. Ardito, 75; Richard Butler, 82; and Joyce Butler, 85; face breach of peace charges.

Authorities say the area is advertised online as a place to meet up for sex and police will continue to monitor activity there.

tfw your grandparents are invited to the gangbang and you aren't :( Might as well pack it up and go home

'99 TL-P Projector retrofit

Just finished up my projector retrofit project! My lights kept blinking out randomly, so I figured I'd go ahead and do the retrofit I'd always wanted to do.

Video of it blinking:
https://giant.gfycat.com/FeistyImpoliteLeafbird.webm

Here's a list of the products included:

Did not end up needing the wiring harness, since our cars came from the factory with good wiring for an HID system.
The LED lightbar running along the top of the lights is not included from the above list, I no longer have the receipt of what model it is sadly.
I used to slow down the blinking speed after swapping (link to LEDs there as well).
The DRL LEDs are wired to the blinker harness, with old MOLEX adapters with one pin removed acting as the removable link. Writing this post reminded me that I need to throw a fuse on that connection.
I'm thinking about getting another set of blinker bulb sockets at the junkyard, and removing the connector that makes them light up with the DRLs. Too much going on at once with that orange light on at the same time as everything else - I'd rather it just come on when I flip the blinker.

I'll take some daytime pics of the setup to show it off later and upload here.
Overall, this was some really easy work. First time doing it too. I meant to take pictures as I did it, but I was so excited to put it all together that I forgot.
If you're planning on doing this, you'll need a dremel to cut some excess material out of the back of the reflectors to make the new lamp mount fit. Also to cut the projector shroud a bit to let it sit flat on the bottom of the reflector.
I ended up routing the wiring for the halo ring and LED bar out the back of the cap that originally housed the ignitor, re-using the rubber grommet that used to seal the HID lamp wiring.
The new HID lamp wiring was routed out of the original hole (widened from ~17mm to ~22mm diameter) with the new grommet that comes with the kit.
Aiming the lights was easy with the build-in adjustment screws. Gotta make sure you're not blinding everyone on the road!

Stereo problem-have you experienced this?

$

Since I had my 19 advanced, I notice there is always some faint stereo noise in the cabin when the car is turned off. Today, I get close to the speakers on the door and was surprises how loud that noise is. It sounds like those speakers white noise when they are turned on. I am concerned that it is constantly draining my battery since it never turns off even with the car locked. I first thought it was the ANC making the noise but the noise persists even when I unplug the ANC. Has anyone had this problem before?

Tailgate unlock button outside

Today it decided not to work. Other buttons (remote control & inside button opened it) work fine. After I got home it decided to work again. Anybody had experience this before.


Btw, is there anyway I can turnoff the little LED light inside the tailgate once it is opened. I plan to sleep during camping inside the SUV. Maybe have the tailgate open.

When ever I am traveling far, I always like to bring the extra key. For RDX, if I place the spare key inside my bag (bag will be around the back area), would I be able to arm the SUV?

I am going to a boating trip and like to have a spare one just in case its lost in the ocean, etc.


Thanks,

2000 rl hard start issue rich mixture

Hi group
My rl has an issue with starting when warm it cranks but won't start sometimes until the throttle is held wide open. I have put in new injectors n the fuel pressure vacuum switch on the fuel rail but this has not fixed the issue. I say the mixture is rich as lots of black smoke smelling of gas comes out the exhaust
It's a 2000 with about 250000 mls
the car will start with a wide open throttle but cranks for a bit
First thing in the morning starts fine driving around stopping n starting with a warm engine gives the problem. Has anyone experienced this at all

Thanks for your help

Cel p0506

My 2010 SH AWD threw a code at a red light yesterday. P0506. I cleared the CEL when i got home with my OBD2 Reader. Has anybody else come across this?

Was there a throttle plate position reset procedure? I remember seeing some procedure before where you hold down the gas for 30s while engine is not running in the "on" position? (or 20s? i don't quite remember the exact procedure). Then start the engine and drive for 20 mins.

Could bad gas cause this? I filled up at a new station 2 days ago...

https://www.engine-codes.com/p0506_acura.html

P0506 ACURA Possible Causes

  • Dirty throttle body
  • Electric throttle control actuator misadjusted or damaged
  • Faulty Electric throttle control actuator
  • Intake air leak
  • Poor electrical connection to the Intake Air Control (IAC) valve
Thanks in advanced.
