The dealership wants approximately $380 to come in and have them change the air filter, cabin filter..and do some check up.. How can I save money and do things myself? and how necessary at 30k miles is it to have them (the dealership) check the car out? Also, any local area (Los Angeles) RSX Owners use someone certified, more care giving and less expensive then the Acura Dealership? thanks so much |

if you want to do the 30K service by the book, BUT: 1. you can change both filters yourself, for about $30 in parts. 2. for $380, the dealer is without a doubt doing some type of laundry list of "services they recommend" - you could just ask them to do what is listed in the book for 30K (pretty much just those filters, tire rotation, and oil change) and see what they say for price 3. you could have a private shop just do those things, for even less money 4. you could get an oil change and turn the maintenance light off yourself - just hold down the odometer button and turn the key to 'on', hold it for a count of five or so, and the light goes out. Some inspections are part of the maintenance schedule Honda provides. It might not be a bad idea to do them if you plan to keep the car a long time.

Replying to: nippononly (May 25, 2006 9:08 pm) I've asked acura and they say as long as I keep receipts my extended warranty is intaked. I already did the oil and had the tires rotated months ago...so I'm gonna change the air filter and cabin filter.. I'm sure the belts are fine at 30K... have a great memorial day weekend...safe driving.

Hello, I am trying to buy a 2004 rsx I just looked at one this afternoon. Car is in good shape and deal is pretty good too. I would love to buy it if I can resolve this problem. when I was test driving this car, I noticed high-pitched noise comming from the front of the car. I could only hear it between 0-10 miles and when I went faster the sound disappeared. Noise sounded like high-pitched electric/flapping sound. I was not loud but I could clearly hear it. I am a first time driver and knows nothing about car. Please enlight me people! |

No Low Beams on my 2004 Acura  Help, I turned on my head lights only to find no low beams, but I have high beams and all other lights. Any one else have this problem and does any one know what the problem might be? I have had to replace the drivers side low beam bulb twice before this happened.
