#846 of 865 '98 Acura 3.5RL P/S Reservoir Fluid Bubbling/Boiling by ackndaa May 21, 2008 (9:58 pm)
While checking the oil after filling up, I noticed the P/S fluid bubbling/boiling inside of the res. What does this mean??? Is there something wrong with my pump, rack and pinion, and/or lines??? There's no indication when driving. There's no leaks either. All belts are new, connected correctly and taught. This too is the first time I've experienced p/s issues. My car has 200k miles. Any info would be greatly appreciated. As with my previous entry, thanks in advance.
#847 of 865 HFL difficulties by bfranco Aug 22, 2008 (10:14 am)
Has anyone else had problems with the HFL while making calls? 2007RL purchased new. Almost immediately began experiencing problems with the Hands Free Link in making calls (doesn't get the numbers right - repeats back numbers that weren't spoken), drops calls, voice quiality both speaking and receiving is poor. Dealer replaced HFL unit twice, even supplied a new (supposedly compatible phone) but the problem still exists. Hands free phone operation is soon to be mandatory in our state and this will be more of an issue for us than before. Any ideas or similar experiences out there?

#848 of 865 Dead battery-warning lights activated by ascott1 Aug 22, 2008 (5:43 pm)
Had my new '08 RL for about 4 months and car would not start today. Called the my salesman at the dealership and he suggested that I get a Sears battery. He insisted that the battery is a maintenance item and not covered under the warranty. After AAA started my car, all of the warning lights for the brakes, ABS, SH-AWD were flashing. So, I drove straight to the dealership service dept. I turned off the car in the service bay before they took it and started it back up and all of the warning lights were off then. The dealership said that there must have been a bad cell in the battery and that they would replace the battery. Funny though, when they returned my keys with no paperwork and the stereo was still working. I had to punch in the security code after AAA started it. I asked the serviceman why my stereo was still working if they had replaced the battery and he said that the service people have a way of replacing the battery without causing the security code having to be set up again. I also would think that the dealership would not be able to install a new battery without a record in their system. Has anyone had trouble with a very short battery life? Unfortunately, I didn't read the reviews on Edmunds about dealerships before I purchased the car, or I would have shopped elsewhere. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Aug 22, 2008 6:10 pm)

Replying to: ascott1 (Aug 22, 2008 5:43 pm) Yes they can install a new battery without a complete electrical disconnect. They put a little maintenance battery in the circuit.

How to replace the water pump for a 1995 legend? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Aug 23, 2008 7:17 am)

Replying to: autojames (Aug 22, 2008 7:28 pm) This is too complicated to list in steps here. You have to remove the timing belt as well, and disarm the air bag system (so the book says).   Anyway, I'd suggest you get a workshop manual for this job, either on eBay, Amazon, or at your local library, because you'll need a step by step, tool recommendations and also diagrams for the timing marks, pulleys, etc.

Replying to: bfranco (Aug 22, 2008 10:14 am) I have a 2006RL and use the HFL everyday. Occasionally the system does not understand the numbers or the stored caller, but most of the time, 95% I would say, I had absolutely no problem. If you have trouble, try to close the sun roof, windows, etc., and speak louder and slower toward the upper middle section of the windshield (where the microphone is located). I've paired two phones that work flawlessly with the system. Overall, compared to Toyota, the Honda HFL system is far superior. The Toyota system (Avalon model) can not understand me at all. Good luck !
#853 of 865 97 RL 12v accessory outlet doesn’t work by wm97rl Nov 09, 2008 (12:40 pm)
I have a 97 Acura RL. The cigarette lighter 12v accessory outlet doesn’t work. I can't find the fuse for it.

Replying to: sagrenn (Jan 09, 2008 8:58 am) I have a 97 RL also and have had to replace 3 rear window regulators. It seems if you don't use them a lot they stick and break a plastic part, which means you have to replace the whole regulator. It was not that bad to replace it myself. Delray Acura online was the cheapest for parts.

I am about to purchase a new 2009RL. How easy is it to install the Splash guards. The dealer wants too much.
