My baby is in the shop too.

Getting the emissions warranty work done. I did the Seafoam last week. Gotta get a new air filter and PCV and the tune up will be complete. I am averaging 22.7mpg I am looking forward to seein how much after the tune.

I also have them diagnosing the oil leak. I will keep ya'll posted.

Update: They said my Aux. belt is dry rotted and that my timing belt probably is too. 1,100 job!

Not now!

Any suggestions? Private shop?

yes a private shop will be able to do it much cheaper than Acura... you can buy all the OEM parts from Hondacuraworld...

Acura is a rip off.

They wanted $46 for the ashtray in the back seat and $93 for the passenger vent (my cousin broke mine). I then went to the junkyard and got them for NOTHING! Yea you should really buy the parts and have a local mechanic do it for you.
