#107 of 180 acura owners' site by bvilla Jun 07, 2005 (9:02 am)
i live in canada, and i don't think there is an owners' website that services this market. i've signed up for the honda america owners' site, which has some great features, but it doesn't help me here (with service, etc.).    i'm just curious if the site is as good as it looks. are people using it? what works, what doesn't?    signed, jealous in toronto
#108 of 180 VTM fluid - Acura hand pump by hnikdel Jun 10, 2005 (1:40 pm)
My Acura dealer is telling me that the hand pump is no longer available from Honda. Are they telling me the truth? Is there another place I can buy the hand pump from?   Thanks   Hnikdel

A pump is a pump. If you got it changed at local mechanic's they wouldn't use an "acura pump". I think your dealer is not being forthright. It might be possible that Honda isn't selling one anymore, however I am sure there are transmission fluid change pumps on the market...you could probably even use a hand pump one for transfering liquids between buckets or syphoning?   You should shop online...There must be a honda accessories place that sells such items. I don't think hondaacuraworld carries such an item...but you could call/email and ask them? Replies to this message: hnikdel (Jun 13, 2005 8:55 am)

Replying to: sbcooke (Jun 11, 2005 2:28 pm) Thanks. I called hondaacuraworld and ordered one. Seems like my local Acura dealer is not too keen on helping DIY.

Replying to: sdao16 (Mar 08, 2005 7:16 am) Have the tires rotated and balanced. I will have this done a trustworthy gas station or tire service center that offers balancing services. Balancing the tires will most definitely take care of this problem. What you are experiencing is a common problem that happens to all cars. The cost of this server should be under $50.
#112 of 180 Best Tire Pressure by dean7 Jul 20, 2005 (11:18 am)
What has been found to be the smoothest riding tire pressure for the touring Michelin tires? It recommends 32psi cold...any suggestions?
#113 of 180 re: by sbcooke Jul 20, 2005 (12:59 pm)
35/36 all around is what I run. The tires seem to be wearing normally.   However all gauges are different. The best pressure is where you have the most tread hitting the road...too high the center tread wears too fast, too low and the outsides wear out...best way is to check between 30-40 PSI and see how the tires look...once you determine how your gauge reads, just keep it the same.

Replying to: meleva (Aug 20, 2002 1:52 pm) I would definitly avoid dishwashing detergent. It will over time oxidize and discolor the finish and it's tough on rubber and plastic. Sure it will do a good job of getting it squeeky clean, but it will strip off the wax. I would rather use Mequires or Mothers car wash liquid. They actually have "paint nutrients" added to suppliment the finish and they are PH balanced.   A glaze is used every few months between waxes. Meguires New Car Glaze is good, Mother's California Gold Sealer\Glaze is good. They both have oil based "nutrients" that get into the finish and deepen the color and shine. It resists finger prints and inhances shine with synthetic polymers, it covers small scratches and "spider webbing" too.
#115 of 180 Buying MDX 2003/59K miles -- what to expect? by genya Sep 01, 2005 (6:59 am)
(I also posted on problems board, seems like both sides can contribute)   I am considering a purchase of a 2003 MDX (navi +ras) with 59K miles on it. Is that a smart thing to do? Anything that I should pay special attention to when inspecting the car? Does Acura provide pre-purchase evaluation or something along those lines that I can rely on? Also, my 96 TL required 60K miles service, that cost about $1200. Should I be prepared for something comparable for MDX?   According to Acura records the car I am considering had breaks and the battery replaced at this point...   Any tips would be highly appreciated.
