Before Acurazine came up with the MDX forum I did some searching and found some DIYs. Take a look at them here: http://www.cougarbash.com/mdx/howto.htm

Anybody else come across any? Post them up.

 

Nice find.

 

That's funny...we used to have a '99 Cougar and I remember the "Cougar Bash" scheduled in 2003. And I remember some guy with an MDX posting how-tos on the Cougar Bash website. Never thought I'd actually use this information...

Thanks for the link...it's useful info for sure...

 

Reset "maintenance required" light!!!

The light is just a built in reminder to do regular maintenance service @ 7500, 15000, etc.


THIS PROCEDURE WILL REQUIRE YOU TO KEEP HOLDING DOWN THE SELECT AND RESET BUTTONS DOWN THROUGH OUT THE PROCESS.

1. While holding down the SELECT and RESET buttons on the odometer. "Use your left hand for this move"
2. Insert key into ignition. "Use your right hand for this move"
3.Turn key to ON position.
4. Hold key and look to see if the display lights on your dash light up.
5. Hold the key in this position for a few seconds. The cars systems will cycle through all the necessary checks/lights and reset itself.
6. Remember to Keep holding down the SELECT and RESET button while turning key to OFF/ON position. Lastly, turn key back to ON. This should reset the "Maintenance required" light.

Sounds silly but how do you get the rear wiper blade out? I need to replace it but I can't figure out how to get the blade off. I don't want to break anything. Thanks!

 

1. Pull the wiper blade away from the glass.
2. Bend the refill blade slightly. Pull on the right side of the blade towards the middle of it until its free from the clip at the end.
3. Free the blade from the left side of that bracket.
4. Slide the blade out.

Let me know if that helps.

 

Here's a goldmine of other DIYs I found on hondaacuraworld.com

I wish I had some of this information available to me prior to buying aftermarket wheels for my 2006 MDX. Hopefully my lessons learned will help others out...

1) The stock MDX wheel is 17" x 6.5" with a 235/65/17 tire and a 45mm offset. The overall diameter of wheel+tire is 29.028 inches. Here is a great Tire Calculator that provides overall wheel diameter calculations.

2) The 2007+ MDX wheels will not fit the 2001 - 2006 MDX. The 2007+ MDX has a 5 x 120mm bolt pattern where the 2001-2006 MDX is 5 x 114.3mm. AVOID adapters - the 5 x 120mm to 5 x 114.3mm adapters will force the wheels out about 2 inches from the fender.

3) You will need hub-rings unless the aftermarket wheel you're purchasing has a 64.15mm hub (the factory hub of the 01-06 MDX). Honda and Acura wheels are balanced on the hub, so it's imperative that you have a 64.15mm hub. You'll experience vibration if your wheels are not properly mounted with rings. Hub-rings are inexpensive and are sometimes offered for free with your purchase of aftermarket wheels. Hard nylon rings don't last as long as metal, but are preferable because they will not rust your hub or wheel. Just tell the shop you need hub-rings for the 64.15mm hub on your MDX. If they say you don't need rings, insist that you do. My rings are 66.5mm (the hub of my aftermarket wheel) to 64.15mm. They simply slide on the hub, then you mount the wheel, tighten, and you're ready to go.

4) I feel the ideal width of the aftermarket wheel for the 2001-2006 MDX is 8.5 inches, of which you'll need at least a 40+mm offset (I have a 35mm offset). Below are my recommendations for wheel/tire sizes:

• 17 x 7" wheel, 235/65/17 tire
• 18 x 8" wheel, 255/55/18 tire
• 19 x 8.5" wheel, 245/55/19 tire
• 20 X 8.5" wheel, 265/45/20 tire
• 22 x 9" wheel, 265/35/22 tire

Nylon hub-ring


Your hydraulic jack may not be tall enough, use the tire jack in the rear hatch


You may need to buy a torque wrench with a long socket for your new wheels

 

Does anyone know how to remove the rear Jack Assy (the a/v connections on the back of the center console)? There is a broken pin in there from one of the a/v wires I had connected in it and I can't get it out.

 

Has anyone done the fog light mod on their MDX? i have a 2008 and i wanted to do the same type of mod done for the TL's (i have an '02 TL TYPE-S). Thanks.
