Thanks

Welcome To The Boards!!!

 

I'm in Western Canada. The TL is a really good winter car. The auto climate control runs the A/C compressor to keep the windows from fogging up in defrost mode. It drives reasonably well too.

 

welcome to the club.

 

I'm in the eastern WORLD...the Far-East...Japan.Welcome.Its an awesome place to be!

 

What part of eastern Canada??

 

Im in New Brunswick.

 

Hey, I just started using my TL 2.5 for the winter too. It snowed pretty badly the other day, but I had a fun time zooming through. I have Pirellis and they seemed to have gripped the snow pretty well. Braking with ABS was also awesome in one scenario

The car starts very cold, and seems to eat much more (MUCH MORE) fuel with the heater. With proper warmup, its ok again.

ABS light comes on and stays on sometimes, happened cuz of the snow, but it may be time to get things checked out.

 

check the abs modulator unit. Compact unit that was installed in mid 90s hondas and acuras. A particular seal on that unit is known to leak after wear and tear - mine did. I bought a new modulator off ebay for around 75 bucks (im told it costs over 1600 at the dealer!).

 

Halifax here - a few TL's in the city, but nobody with inspire tails

 

ya im going to just cheap it out and not fix it...im not annoyed by the light the abs still kicks in when needed.

 

yea i like how it turns on A/C to keep the windows defrosted but also runs the heater thru the regular vents at the same time
