My windshield is making this annoying popping/popcorn/cracking noise. Anyone know what it could be? At first I thought it was my speakers because of the noise level but it’s not that.
Hello. I went to a tire shop recently to buy new wheels. I drive an Acura RDX 2023. After I started driving with my new wheels, my tire pressure sensors were not able to read my tire pressure on any of the tires. I went back to the shop to reset the TPMS and that didn’t work. Then, they asked me to go back and they reset them again. The problem came up again. When I called, they asked me to bring in my old wheels so that they can scan the IDs on the older sensors on the stock wheels and clone them to the new sensors. Not sure how that works. After driving for 20-30 minutes since then, the TPMS is still not working. As you can imagine, I am very frustrated. I called the tire shop today and they said to come back in when I can but I’m not really sure what they’re going to do differently this time. I don’t think the shop is using OEM sensors so I’m thinking the sensors are low quality. What is the best thing to do now? How are they going to fix it? Am I better off calling the dealership and see if they can do something? I appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you!
I have a 2008 Acura RDX 2.3L Turbo. I’ve had it for about three years now and since I had it, the turbo was a known issue. It fully blown about two weeks ago. I’m at the point where I need to replace the turbo but from my knowledge, the OEM turbo was not built the best from factory for this engine. I would not be replacing it with OEM and that is where my issue comes into hand. OEM (Used) is about $800 CAD not guaranteed to last.
So I would like to replace it with an aftermarket. I found this Turbo on Amazon & asking around getting knowledge from people with Turbos, I was shown Amazon Turbo aren’t that bad & peoples been running them for a while, on civics and other vehicles. I don’t know too much about it personal so I’d like to get any information from anyone out there with knowledge. I am trying to avoid spending 1k+ on the replacement.
If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know or if you know about this Amazon Turbo & feel it is a good option please feel free to express. Thanks
I posted the other day about which fluid to use in the 17 rdx. I went to a dealer and got oem fluid. Did 3 flushes and the shudder is completely gone. I also scheduled the software update since mine has never been done. For those of you who have got it done, how much better does the car and trans feel in your opinion.
Should I be worried buying a used 2020/21 RDX with 85k miles? Not from dealership. Buying from private person. Any advice would help.
Noticed this morning that once I get up to say 30mph, and let off the gas - a clicking sounds comes from directly under the middle front of the car (not super loud - kind of like a card slapping a bicycle spoke). Nothing changes when I turn the wheel left or right, and the noise immediately goes away once I accelerate. Not coming from either right or left side. Sounds almost directly below my feet-dead center front.
Got on the highway and once I go over 60mph and take the foot off the gas I don’t hear it. Pretty much between 25-55mph is when I hear it.
Taking it in, but can’t be seen for about 5 days. Curious if anyone has any thoughts?
My 2017 Rdx just hit 100k and is starting to have light TC shudder. I I bought it at 96K and the fluid is a little dark so I’m not sure when the last time the fluid was changed. I’m planning to do the three times drain and fill. I have 3 quarts of ace and DW-1 fluid and need to get more. I am debating on getting Valvoline Max life since it does say it’s Honda approved or should I just go to the dealer and get more genuine DW-1. Has anyone had good luck with max life in their honda? I always heard they are picky on trans fluids. Im also going to change the plugs and will go with NGK’s since they are due soon
I bought a 2008 RDX, plans were to add Hondata, intake, exhaust, coilovers, rims and call it a day. Fast forward a couple of weeks and my friend found another rdx with all the mods I was looking for plus way more for the price of the Hondata. It even came with a black interior a Big Turbo. Currently I’ve swapped most of the interior, ripped out whatever I can salvage from the parts car and working my way through the engine. Exterior I swapped all 4 doors, mine were dinged pretty bad, all bumpers. I need to swappped wiper motors next. This week going to address a coolant leak, install the BC coils and mount Work Emotions on the running car. I have no idea what I’m doing just following YouTube videos and buying tools along the way. Once all that’s done I’ll get the paint correction done professionally. Plans have now changed to getting another k23 block boring it to k24, adding sleeves and then adding the big turbo. I’ll be learning along the way but engine assembly and sleeving will be left to smarter people than me along with the head work. Wish me luck 😭 I’ll share a parts list once things start moving along.
Ps the hondata base map tune really work up the car.
I’d like to get into doing more of the work on my car myself and eventually personally going to the track one day. I understand my current vehicle is unlikely the one that I will be taking to the track in the future.
My car has 175k miles. I will need brake fluid, fuel induction, and spark plug replacement services in the near future. Are these things a newbie could take on? If not, what are recommended services for beginners?
Would also appreciate any tips on how to better care for the car in general. Right now, I regularly service her based on what the car’s internal system alerts me to.
A few years back dealership quoted me $9k for broken turbo. I declined the service because it cost more than what the car was worth. Was informed I would gradually lose acceleration over time, but haven’t noticed anything. I rarely use sport mode if ever.
ETA: The interior ceiling fabric lining is starting to droop so would be interested in DIY fixing that in the future if recommended.
I’m deeply concerting getting a used RDX for my everyday driving which is about 60-80km a day and I do plan on having it for a while maybe 5-7 years, I do want speed still which this car gives plus the space, I’m coming from a civic and definitely want something fast, good on gas, good sound and luxury I feel like this car gives that but I want to get other options.
Has anyone tried installing a dash cam and successfully hiding the power and rear camera cords? I’m just trying to determine if I can do this or I should just pay for a professional install. ‘24 RDX Aspec plus.
I have a 2018 RDX and the driver 2 FOB (without engine start button) has the lock and unlock button a bit loose… and sometimes they get stuck and will roll windows down all the way (fob feature).
I checked my driver 1 fob with engine start button and noticed it has a silver bracket that supports and helps separate the lock and unlock button.
Can anyone tell me if their regular (non- engine start button) fob has this silver metal support bracket between the buttons and the clear rubber piece?
I tried taking that piece from my driver 1 fob and putting it in other fob but it won’t fit. Assuming due to the extra button above and sizing.
