Replying to: cman7 (Jul 20, 2009 3:02 pm) If you can adjust it up/down and side to side using the adjusting switch, then you know the motor and its gears work. Then, be sure to leave the mirror switched to the passenger mirror and try backing again. If that doesn't work take it to your dealer. |

| I don't know if anyone has ran into this problem but I am stumped. My radio and navigation buttons do not work. It froze 2 days ago. Now when I start the car the navigation boots up but I can't hit the ok button because the touch screen doesn't work. Sometimes if I tap on the radio I can get the radio to work until I turn the car off and the navi momentarily(seconds to work) but can't see the screen. Also 1/2 the time when I turn the car off whatever is on the screen if anything stays on even with the key out. If you know anything I would appreciate any help | |
I believe you need to ensure your mirror adjusting switch is in the center nutral position to work in the back up mode.

| I am wondering if car washes, where the car moves through a tunnel while being sprayed with soap and water, is safe for wheels. What I mean is that if wheels going to end up having scratches or burns since TL's wheels sticks out of tires a bit. I hear it is easy to put curb scratches on wheels with TLs. | |
| Can you tell me how to change the air filter in my 04 tl? I just cant seem to figure out where it is and dont want to start taking stuff apart without knowing where it is. Embarrasing that I can find it...thanks | |

To : ALL 2005 Acura TL owners I wanted to start this post so that 2005 owners can inform each other what parts of their cars are starting to require replacement or repair. This way, all 2005 owners will know what they need to fix/replace before it breaks. - Alternator - Starter - Transmission - Suspension As for other parts, here is the maintenance schedule that I go by It's a bit more preventive than what is in the manual Fuel Induction every 15,000 miles-30,000 miles or 1 year - DEALER ONLY Fuel Induction tx requires a special machine ONLY AT DEALER Fuel induction uses BG 44 (stronger than CF5) Fuel Injection tx is just a bottle of BG CF5 into gas tank every 7,500 miles http://ezinearticles.com/?Car-Repair-Prices:-Fuel-Injection-Services,-Are-They-W- - - orth-It?&id=300855 BG Frigi Clean - kills mold, $40 - do Annually bottle comes with hose and screws injected thru AC exhaust dealer wants $120 you can do it for $30 labor and $40 bottle with independent mechanic you can buy the Frigi Clean set at Honda/Acura make sure mechanic gives it 20 mins to dry out the foam do the FrigiClean before you add new internal cabin air filter so that your old filter can collect the mess Radiator Flush every 20,000-25,000 if lots of stop and go or every 2 years - 2 bottle of coolant (antifreeze) + BG kit Power Steering Flush - every 25,000 - 30,000 (3 bottles) or every 2 years Transmission Flush - every 30,000 or every 2 years - DEALER ONLY - 15 quarts + BG additive - or 4 quarts if drain and fill only Air Filter and Internal Cabin Filter every 12,000-15,000 miles or once/twice per year (depends on your environment and driving) Spark plugs - every 50,000 miles for regular plugs, or every 60,000 - 100,000 with Iridium or Double Platinum (labor $200, plugs $200) - Independent Mechanic will not allow you to buy plugs and bring it to their shop b/c of liability Car Battery - every 3-7 years, check readings at each oil change, most places would say on average 3 years is best Alternator - every 5-7 years Starter - every 7-10 years Wiper Blades - annually Timing Belt - every 100,000 miles or 7 years, may want to replace water pump when you replace the belt - best to do with Dealer for peace of mind Brakes - every 40,000 miles, will need new ceramic brake pads from Acura best to buy new rotors (3rd party ok) instead of resurfacing the rotors ideally to get new rotors at each brake change but ok if you pass 40,000 and do it at 80,000 miles Brake Flush - every 30,000 or when brakes are being done - DEALER ONLY Suspension - dependent on driving conditions PCV Valve - at 30,60, and 90,000, $140, helps engine to breathe rotate tires every 6,000 miles
