2008 RDX Service B1 by mfeirman
Jan 05, 2009 (2:13 pm)

I lease a 2008 RDx base model. My car is due for a B1 service, and Acura quoted me $245 plus tax (Nassau county New York).
 
I am leasing the car from American Honda. Do I need to do this maintenance or can I skip it and be ok when I turn in my car?
 
Thanks,
Mark

Hi did you ever get an answer on the RDX suspension? I love everything about the car except it is just to rough for me during my 30 min drive to work and frequent road trips. I really am hoping there is something I can do about the stiff suspension/rough ride.
 
I went to the dealership and they said there was nothing they could do, I find that very hard to believe since there are so many people asking about it.

Radiator Fluid by mtairyordge

I need to replace/add to the radiator fluid for my RDX. the manual says to use HONDA fluids of course, but goes on to say that a high quality non-silicate fluid designed for aluminum engines should be used.
 
Can anyone tell me what OTC radiotir fluid that is?
 
Thanks in advance.

I'm got to play around the the SH-AWD some more this weekend and I was downshifting, instead of braking, while going into flat, downhill, and uphill turns. You have to press on the gas through the turns if you want the SH-AWD to kick in.
 
The road conditions were very good (smooth new asphalt) and it didn't seem dangerous in the RDX. The engine braking slowed the vehicle and when I turned and stepped on the accelerator, the revs jumped/turbo kicked-in, and the RDX carved around the turn. I only tired braking into the turns a few times. It seemed like downshifting was a better for getting the revs up fast when accelerating and kicking in the SH-AWD around the corner.
 
I only overcooked one turn because I wasn't expecting it to be an S and the rear has drifted slightly into the opposite lane. I'm not sure if the VSC kicked in at the point. Fortunately, the roads were relatively empty. I took it down a notch after that.

Odd Smell from the Engine by aardx

Hello all,
 
I just bought a 2007 RDX - and after driving it for the last two weeks I have started to notice that there is odd smell coming from the engine (outside the car) and its not exactly a burning smell but smells like over heated metal. The smell stays for only 10-20 seconds than disappears. I am getting no warning messages from the car that it is overheating but I am wondering if any of you have come across this? Perhaps I am over analyzing this??

Handling of a FWD or F/awd vehicle will be perfectly beniegn, or even better, on a highly tractive surface.

Extra copies of key??? by mfeirman

I own a 2008 RDX and want to make copies of the key, and possibly get an extra remote key chain. Any ideas where I can get this done?
 
Thanks,
Mark
