Replying to: alicia4 (Aug 29, 2007 9:42 am) Re: leaking...   It could be condensation from the air conditioner, which is normal for any car. This happens just after the car is turned off on warm days. Is this the case?

Replying to: alicia4 (Aug 29, 2007 9:42 am) The true test is to run your finger over the "puddle". If it is not black, green ,blue or red you're in the clear, probably a/c condenser. The other thing with certain acuras is that where they drain the motor oil is near a cross bar and it almost always gets hit with oil and will drip very small amounts for 24-48 hrs.

Replying to: cpa3 (Aug 31, 2007 2:43 pm) What do you recommend for keeping tires looking good thats not greasy? #1 - Wax your wheels. Use whatever you use on the car and keep them waxed. This will prevent brake dust buildup, and makes the wheels super easy to clean. For tire shine with no slime, I use Zaino Z-16. You'll need an applicator to get the job done right... I use These. You can get them right from Wal-Mart.    How about something to keep dashboard clean and not greasy? Interior products without the horrible Armor-All glare, I like Lexol products.    How do I keep my windows looking clean and great with no streaking? A lot of people swear by Stoner's Invisible Glass. This can also be found at Wal-Mart. I also use it, but it requires the glass to be cold, and you need a nice lint-free cloth. Don't try using it in the sun when the windows are hot.   I suppose Windex also works.   Enjoy!
#475 of 540 Ink or some stain on leather by tomziegler Sep 08, 2007 (7:07 pm)
On my light grey leather interior, my 5 year old son has crayon or some ink in the back seat leather. Any idea how to get that out? I do use Zaino cleaner/conditioner. It is yellow and another stain looks like a ballpoint pen hit the seat..   Thanks for your help!

Replying to: nevadabill (Dec 11, 2003 10:20 pm) Concur with your assessment of the Falken Ziex 512 tires. We too took Consumer Reports advice. Tires were installed on our his and hers 1997 BMW 5 Series automobiles. We are very easy drivers and based on the tread remaining when we sold the two cars this summer (we now have a 2007 TSX and a 2007 TL), we would have had to replace them after 30,000 to 35,000 miles. On only that attribute were we disappointed. Replies to this message: billyperks1 (Sep 10, 2007 9:41 am) upstatedoc (Sep 10, 2007 11:47 am)

Replying to: rone3 (Sep 09, 2007 1:29 pm) I second that- I replaced the stock Michelins on my 03 Type S with the Falkens, great tires but the tread life was horrible.I actually sold the car with the falkens and a little bit of tread life left in them.

Replying to: billyperks1 (Sep 10, 2007 9:41 am) My experience w/ tires on TL's ('03 TLS, '05 TL) was always disappointing. The former got just 19k on the michelins and the later got just over 20k. FYI- I replaced the '03's w/ dunlop sport a2's... wrong decision. It felt like I was riding on marshmallows. Something about the side walls not being as stiff.
#479 of 540 TL Timing Belt replacement by jdcar1 Sep 13, 2007 (4:52 am)
Anyone know when the timing belt/water pump needs to be replaced for an 06 TL? Not sure if Acura "recommends" replacing at 70k miles. Thanks!

A while back someone had suggested Zaino products as the best for Interior Leather. Besides online, can these products be purchased in stores? Replies to this message: scottm123 (Sep 14, 2007 5:01 am)
