As nice as it is, I got a good look at Ron Tonkin’s A-Spec Integra the other day, not anytime soon. It’s awesome don’t get me wrong, but I’m enjoying not having a car payment and this little DC4 is doing just fine. 😎👍🏻

 

'07 MDX Tech with 190K miles, targeting 200,000 km next year.
Bought it 9 years old with 115K miles from an Acura dealer in the Pacific Northwest. This is my wife's daily driving car.
The timing belt was done at 105K miles by a dealer in 2015.

Here is my list of repairs over 6 years of ownership and 75K miles (excluding regular oil, filters, fluid changes):
1. Bluetooth module failure. Dead battery and permanent disconnection. Lawsuits is going
2. Timing belt tensioner. It wasn't replaced by dealer timing belt job and became noisy on cold starts.
3. Brake discs/pads 3 times due to steering wheel vibration. Almost every 2 years.
4. All four wheels bearings / hubs assy.
5. Alternator. Died with a shorted bridge rectifier and almost smoky car harnesses, not to mention a dead battery.
6. AC repair - condenser, hoses, rear evaporator, o-rings, R-134A recharge.
7. Radiator replacement. As a preventive maintenance. The ATF cooler fittings were heavily rusted.
8. Water leaks into the rear sides of the trunk. Short circuits in the rear fuse box assy with all sorts of alarms and faults.
Repaired the fuse box assy and covered it with layers of plastic wrap.
9. Climate control servomotors replacement. Front and rear. Began to make noise from wear and in an attempt to find the programmed positions.
10. Power steering pump replaced 2 times and high pressure hose pending replacement. Noise and leaks.
11. Front and rear engine mounts replaced. Both were cracked and loose.
12. Door speakers replaced and stereo amplifier pending replacement. Crackling music distortion and popping sound when turned on.
13. Catalytic converters of both sides.
14. Side mirrors actuators replacement. Began to twitch / jam and the memory position of the seat / steering wheel / mirror did not work.

As current issues now:
1. Oil leak from oil pump gasket (oddly shaped o-ring between oil pump and engine block) - TB and oil pan needs to be removed. Waiting for next 200K miles TB service.
2. Slow oil leakage of rear main seal. Removal of transmission required. Awaiting replacement.
3. Oil is leaking from both valve covers. I'm waiting for the next TB service on valves adjustment.

 

281k on my 06. Just did the first two trans drain and fills, and changed rear diff fluid. Runs and drives fantastic.

 

I guess you changed the gear oil at the front of the driveshaft shown in this video? I missed this the first time I changed mine, it's hidden very well. I assume your 06 has this, my 10 does.

 

No, haven't changed the transfer assembly fluid yet. That's next on the list.

 

Perfect, check and/or change your PCV Valve if you haven't in 30k-40k miles. It's neglected a lot. Just a thought.

 

I have not changed it, since I just bought the vehicle. I'm trying to catch up on deferred maintenance. Tires are on the list as well.

 

06 RBP Manual. Had it since 08 with 10kmi. LOTS of mods over the years, but to stay true with the OP's intent of listing items outside of normal maintenance (which i view things such as tie rods, motor mounts, and compliance bushings etc. as normal things over time for these cars):
*3rd suspension (stock to H&R/KONI yellow to Tein Flex Z)
*both drive shafts and seals
*both precats (replaced with HFCs)
*clutch
*cruise switch
*all four door actuators
*NEVER replaced ANY exterior light!

 

how has it been? is everything going well on it?

 

In 2018, we hit 100k on the TSX Wagon. In 2023, we're over 200k. Love this car.
