you should get some pos car that you dont care about so you dont rack up miles on the rare cl you got

 

'01 CL-P 93,800 miles

 

I used to. I have this problem with modding cars. I can't stop. I've had three cars since Feb 07. An 88 Civic hatch which had a decent amount of work done to it, a 94 Prelude, which I had for about 5 weeks (got bored VERY quicly), and then the CL last August.

I bought an 09 S2000 back in November, but then cancelled the order because I couldn't see running through the warranty in one year. With any luck, my job will transfer me to another division where they give us work trucks so I can sell the CL and get an NSX or Lotus. I'm just afraid about what would happen if I get bored of either one of those

/rant.

 

just found this forum i have had my acura since 03 here are the details

2003 acura cl type-s 6mt 205,000 miles runs like new all original parts and i change my oil every 2000 miles

 

Keeping up with 1k miles a week.

Broke 86k tuesday.

 

dang man you are catching up to me I just hit 89k

 

Every 2000? OCD are we?

I just turned 110K on my 01 Type S this week and I change my oil every 5000 w/ full synthetic. My car, like yours, runs like the day I drove it off of the lot.

 

Haha, yea driving out to Va Bch everyday sucks.

 

how many miles are you driving a day?

 

At minimum 100. I think a record for me was a work related 600 and change, that was Va Bch in the morning, and DC in the afternoon. I worked 25 hours straight that day too (not my record, that stands at 38 hrs).

 

dam what are you a drug runner?

 

Shhh.

 

As of 3:15 this afternoon ... 207778.

Figure it will go in for it's 210K check-up on/about June 3rd.

 

50,400.

Gonna start using my car as a my work car though, so that number should skyrocket. No car allowance either

 

Work doesnt pay for mileage? Claim it on your taxes. Right now the IRS has the mileage rate set at 58.5 cents a mile. And thats non-taxable.

 

i just bought my wifes with 122,000 on it. Had the trans recall fix done at 40k and dealership that serviced it its whole life said it was never seen for a transmission problem-plus guy had all service paperwork down to windshield wiper blades. After being on this site for a couple weeks ive now freaked out about the trans....so thanks for that!

 

No problem!

 

Just ticked over 200,000 this week. Oil changed every 5,000 with Mobil1 since day one.
Second trans, original exhaust.
Great car should have bought 2 of them.

 

118K on the Second tranny

 

03 cl-s6 with 60050miles

 

185k 2000 TL - First tranny

 

I'm on 167k miles. I really really want to keep this. I needs everyone's opinion on what kind of maintinance wise to keep this 01 cl types running for a long time. i have my timing belt replaced on 100k miles. Thanks!

 

just do the routine maintenance and your all good. dont drive it like its a truck or suv over bumps. dont do no hard down shifting to 3rd gear, thats about it.

 

Ohh yeah. This is my first ride and I do plan to keep this for a long time. What about major parts replacement? How often do I need to change my timing belt and all the other major parts. Sorry I dont know much about cars but this site really is helpful.

 

start a new thread, you will get more help that way instead of thread jacking this one.

t-belt service- every 7 years or 105k miles which ever one occurs first.
normal oil chage about 5-7k miles (ppl will fight this and say u can go more, but i dont know your driving style and where u drive)
normal brake service
tire rotation every other oil change or every oil change depending on how often u do it.

major problem of the 00-03 tl and the 01-03 cl autos is the auto trans, motor mounts fail prematurely too.

 

Taken a few hours ago.

 

87k and change. I've slowed down over the past two weeks. I've been doing alot of local work and riding the motorcycle, so the CL gets a break.

Fuel pump went on the bike though, so time to rack the miles up again

 

Holy Temp!!

 

It's been cooler the last few days!

It will be 115 average and never under 95 in a month.

 

at 134k, tranny was changed at 119k and it seems to be slipping ever so slightly. I might get about 2k more miles before I have to get the tranny replaced, probably on my own dime this time. My new harley has been getting all the miles lately. 09 fatbob

 

Read this thread about slipping:

https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/very-interesting-conversation-my-transmission-builder-tl-721508/

I did not have any transmission issues (over 100k on mine replaced in 05)
but I replaced the sensors and my transmission shifts quicker & firmer. Excellent 9x.00 PM, imho.

 

I have an 01' CLS with about 56,800 miles on it. Did ALOT of traveling over the years and it just sat at home parked. I LOVE my Acura! Would love to have gotten a brand new 03' with the Onstar antenna. I like the way those look.

 

a little OT, but when should we consider replacing the Timing Belt and Water Pump?

 

105k

 

Does the OnStar still work anymore?

 

Should I be doing this on my car 01 clsa and what do I tell my mechanic to change

 

e30 Sorry is it the 3rd pressure switch 2nd pressure switch cause mine doesnt shift well from 1st to second

 

This is 3 & 4. My car had no issues but I read that thread and decided it was worth the preventive maintenance.

I am assume you can do two also.

 

I know the Canadian maintenance schedule is a bit different. I think it should be the same if you live in the northern states. They recommend you do the service earlier, because driving it in really cold weather is considered "severe driving conditions". I just did my timing belt, pump and tensioner and i'm only at 91,000 kms. But i figured i had some $, and the car is now 6years old. You have to take into consideration the age of the car too.

 

No, but I'll always love the way the stock 03's looked with them. That and the 03' airbag is the only thing you really can never install but oh well.
