#100 of 180 ACURA MDX Cabin Air Filters by jellyman Mar 13, 2005 (7:53 pm)
Are there 2 cabin air filters on a 2003 ACURA MDX and if so, where are they located?

Replying to: fndlyfmrflyr (Mar 10, 2005 2:53 am) Thanks! 7500 it will be...but probably the only reg. main. service Acura does. I have an excellent "award-winning" Honda dealer/service 2 miles away - Curry Honda. $198. for cabin air filters at Acura? Crazy!

Replying to: jellyman (Mar 12, 2005 4:05 pm) Your owner's manual should tell you if your MDX has more than one dust and pollen filter (cabin air filter). The one for my 02 says filter, not filters, and my 20 has only one - behind the glove box. Unless the design has been changed, the first time the pollen filter is changed there is a part blocking the filter from sliding out that must be cut away (and thrown away). This adds a few minutes to the labor. The pollen filters are expensive and it does takes a little while to change, but $198? Even $98 seems like a lot.

Replying to: fndlyfmrflyr (Mar 15, 2005 8:05 pm) The filter is located behind the glove box as you say. They have replaced the plastic brace with a metal brace which is more formidable to remove. Removing the brace does not appear to affect the integrity of the glovebox. There are two units side by side behind the glove box one contains the filter we are familiar with. The other made by the same company has something which appears to be foam visible through some vents. It looks like it may be difficult to get to. I am wondering if this is the second filter they are talking about?
#104 of 180 '03 cabin filters by phild_mason Mar 21, 2005 (2:55 pm)
I have a service manual for the '03 and will check for sure. I did my own pollen filter and it is fairly straight forward. I did see a post on another board about a filter for the rear unit, but have not confirmed in the service manual.
#105 of 180 '03 MDX Cabin Filter.... by cmigs May 16, 2005 (11:31 am)
I tried searching edmunds for this, but with no luck...   I want to be sure the dealership changed my filter the last time I had the MDX in. Do you have to un-screw the glove box retainer to gain access to the back where the filter is located? If so, how easy is it to put the glovebox back together? I tried to check behind the glove box near the floor and saw nothing...any help would be apprectiated...
#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
#109 of 180 re: pump by sbcooke Jun 11, 2005 (2:28 pm)
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)
