Ok, I know there is information on this site about what I'm asking, just at work right now and didn't really have time to search, so before so one tears into me just wanted to give that disclaimer. If someone would be kind enough to give me a link that will take me where I need to go I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Moved.

You should get more action in the main forum.


As far as I know the biggie is 105k - Water pump, timing belt, etc.

01tl4tl

with spark plugs and if applicable (some 99s irc) cap and rotor-wires
Also should do valve adjust with the 105 service
seafoam it!

109k Service was done @ 110k
3rd tranny and ecu was installed, every fluid was flushed and refilled @ 126k
NGK Iridium spark plug was replaced @ 130k
Transmission fluid, break discs and pads and tires were replaced @ 135k
Right now It's almost getting 140K with no problems at all. and Engine oil and trans fluid will be flushed and changed soon @ 140k
My MPG is 28 right now. (City and Hwy combined)

I'm at 124k and I NEED to stop procrastinating!

< goes to look for that tune up thread.

CJITTY

timing belt, water pump and valve adjustment, replace other belts while they are at it..new plugs and drive another 100K

Don't overlook ALL fluids. You may have already done them recently, but I did my belt/water pump just before 90K and did power steering fluid, brake fluid, coolant, tranny oil and crankcase oil all then (oil change is obviously more routine) on top of the other items listed above.

I'm at 138k now, so I'm with bearwolpf..definitely need to stop procrastinating and get the major tune up done and over with.

blackuraTLS

hmmm....i am at 130k and have not had the 105k service yet...that may be bad but i don't have the money for it!!

Hey, I understand. You can't do more than you're financially able to do. Try to get it done as soon as possible though, even if you don't get it serviced at a Honda/Acura dealer. There are some very good mechanics out there, you just have to find them. By the way, if anyone needs service in Northern NJ and you need a knowledgable, reliable, and AFFORDABLE mechanic, I got the hook-up!

3.2TLc

Neglecting preventative maintenance on any car nearing 10 years old with 100k on the odo is playing "russian roulette". Why gamble your ride by neglecting recommended service ? Our TL's are solid upper end Honda engineered vehicles which will perform well for 200k if properly maintained. So, do your car and yourself a big favor and do the stuff.....unless you don't care and want another car. DO IT NOW !!!!!!!!!!!! or pay later.

123K --- Same boat. I have the parts, just need to get them installed.

100k--

Timing Belt
Water Pump
Hydraulic Tensioner
Spark Plugs
Drive Belts
Valve Adjustment
New Honda Type II Coolant

And based on recent experience with old cars, I would also replace the thermostat, upper radiator hose and lower radiator hose while the cooling system is drained.

Also check if the other items are up-to-date:

- Brake Fluid Flush (commonly overlooked)
- Cabin Air Filter (commonly overlooked0
- Transmission Fluid (if not done within the last 60k)
