Any help would be appreciated!

I just bought a 96 3.2 from the original owner w/57K on it.

Acura dealer and my mechanic said I need to get the timing belt done at 6years or 60K. My 92 integra wasnt due until 80K? Whats the deal? When should I get it done?

Also, my keyless entry stopped working, bought new batteries, and its still not working? WTF?

What can I use to clean the leather? It seems to need a cleaning and conditioning?

there is usually 2 major tune ups. At 60K miles, and 90K miles. Damn you got it with low miles man. About your keyless entry, I would check the brain. Mothers makes some good cleaning for our leather.

Yeah, I was looking for this exact car for 8 months, then bam, there it was in the paper. Got it from a retired surgeon whose wife always drove him in their 4runner. I got it for a steal too. He bought a bwm330ci vert and they were raping him on trade in for the ac. He had 1 weekend to sell it or was going to trade it in - he just didnt want to deal with having a 3rd ride sitting around just to get top dollar (BTW he was rich as hell).

I couldn't be more fired up on this ride!

What the hell is the brain?

you could try re-coding your transponder - there was a topic on this jsut a few days ago...

the brain is head of your alarm/keyless entry system.

Yeah, i'm going to try to reprogram it. Maybe the dead batteries were in too long? I'll try reprogramming and post the results

I just had my 90k service...they didn't say anything about a t-belt. If you had a 2.5TL, I'd have the t-belt and water pump done.

Timing belt is done at the 105,000 mile service. Mine is coming up soon.

Manual says 90,000 miles unless severe schedule utilized

Is yours a 2.5 or 3.2 ?

arlan

is it 2.5 or 3.2?

90,000 miles. I let my 93 integra go 102,000 miles and the timming belt broke.

Hpnosser

I have 96 3.2. Also do new belts at that time. I would not go past 90,000. I am at 173,000 so its time again at 180,000.

Mines a 96 3.2tl prem. THanks for the info guys. I'm definitely waiting. I thought 60K for a timing belt on a honda product was not right.

arlan

is it 2.5 or 3.2? part 2

YEAH DONT FORGET ABOUT THE OBD SYSTEM CHECK. ITS FREE FROM ACURA. THEY GIVE YOU A FREE OIL CHANGE AND WASH YOUR CAR, YOU SHOULD DO IT BEFORE 150,000 MILES.
FOR YOUR LEATHER SEATS USE LEXOL CLEANER AND CONDITIONER. THEIR THE BEST FOR OUR LEATHER SEATS

there is this other cleaning product that every one is so gung ho about.. its called zaino and can be bought online. someone mentioned using some toilet bowl cleaner to clean the leather and it works.
