Everything that needed to be repaired will be repaired,nothing spared.
1 ball joint,overheating problem(but hasn't overheated in over a week.),oil press switch,rear main seal,timing belt/water pump,valve adjustment,rough idle rotors and pads and anything else we'll find. Let's just hope the bill won't be astronomical!!!Last but not least,going in for a detail.

Those two aren't normally in the vicinity of each other....

Good luck with it, ready for another 100k of use!

BlackMambaTL7

If you took it to the dealer, your checkbook will be arse raped. Good luck man!

Cheezes

That's going to be WAYYYY north of a $1000 so you better have something soft behind you when you see the bill and faint.

sbuswell

my guess is north of $2000.00.

1st timer

Took it to a friends garage. Gonna be under 2000$ The way i see it,it sure beats financing another car for another 5 years!!

holy 2300 dollar service...

would been 1500 at a honda/acura specialist shop

but it will last you much longer after all is said and done. congrats on being able to shell it out though.. i do mine piece by piece lol.

Very curious about this...how much will this actually end up costing you.

AND very true..in a time of throw away and buy another...this is a good move!

Rhlieu

If you took it the Acura dealership...my guess would be north of $3000 easy!

I had a rear main seal leak that was replace under warrenty ($1400 if i had payed out of pocket)

100k Tuneup (i.e. timming/tennsion belt/water pump/ spark plugs) $1000

That is almost $2500 without the other repaired done.


It would be a good idea to replace any bad motor mounts when they replace the rear main seal! (no additional cost via labor)

1st timer

I told him to check all mounts and replace them if needed. Can't wait to drive it after it's all said and done.

I just had my timing belt replaced any everything associated w/ it checked as well as an alignment and tire rotation. $900 at my local independent shop.

1st timer

My quote for timing belt water pump seals and what not is 750$.They replace anything they can while they're at it.

01tl4tl

have the tensioners and idler pullies replaced now while its apart

phaze

My local "import" shop charges 65 an hour for labor. Is that reasonable?

Gfaze

That's pretty fair. Most indy shops start there. The major shops and dealers are usually $100+/hr.

1st timer

Nice That's not a bad price at all.

espcially factoring in the ss lines an rotors pads.did you get the ngk iridium plugs?

ftLauTL

wow not bad at all



deff put in some new plugs while they are in there

1st timer

NGK Iridium IX plugs. Car rides like new,literally!!I haven't installed the brakes yet.The mechanic told me the egr port was entirely clogged.He let the whole intake soak up while he was working on the car. I noticed blue smoke when i accelerated ,but he said it's gonna go away by tomorrow.I guess some cleaner and oil fell inside the cylinders.Now the car is super smooth.

@cUr@-TL

it must feel so good to drive it now!

VQPower37

wow its pretty much like a new car now, and good price too

Rhlieu

WOW! this should take care of you until 200+ k mileage.

1st timer

Yeah pretty much.

randomwalk101

pardon my ignorance from the forum lately,...but why change the

temp sensor
oil pressure switch
thermostat

01tl4tl

may as well change them with this service-
they are all critical parts and with over 100k miles and 10 years on them.....suspect~

I would change all the rubber radiator hoses too
Those blow out and you have a major problem

I bet you feel brand new with that service. i need to do my t belt service and replace some stuff. Did you buy the stuff and take it to them or did they recommend everything?

1st timer

I told him what i wanted done and got the oem parts.

1st timer

I changed the thermostat first when my car started overheating,that didn't solve the problem.The oil pressure switch was leaking and the temp sensor n was causing the overheating so i had to replace it.

1st timer

I haven't changed the rad hoses they still look good,but might as well change them,anything else i should be replacing??
