04 tl vs 05 tl

Just wondering is there any difference between the 04tl and 05tl? I am still waiting to see if they will have a 05tl s- type.

Laters.

there is a thread that listed all the differences. they are basically the same car. there is no type-s version scheduled for 05.

Don't expect a Type-S 05 TL. The car is already FWD and has bad torque steer. More power = worse torque steer.

Mmmmm black chrome is just so sexy.....

I think most of us are hoping that they transfer the SH-AWD system over from the RL into the TL....maybe as an A-Spec or Type-S. That'll be the day I put my name on the waitlist.

Max - I'm also new member / my 1st reply

I ran out of washer fluid this morning with no warning

My wife is at the dealer (Sussman in Maple Shade, NJ) as I am typing this (we both got TLs - her fog lights didn't work) so I asked her to check about this and they said they think there is a light and maybe my hose is kinked or something which I don't buy because it was squirting and then just stopped.

I believe the posts here and think the dealer just doesn't know the US model doesn't have one but I don't get the lack of warning light? I have gotten used to it from every other car. This makes no sense. Why would Canadian model differ?

Thorin - I'm from Philly too and think we also get pretty crappy weather and it hasn't even started snowing yet ...don't you feel ripped off?


BTW - what gives with manual heated side mirrors that don't time-out like the rear defrost? I always forget that obscure little switch and think I am going to burn out the element by leaving it on

kenrok1-impressive first post. Welcome to the forum and congratulations on buying not one but two TL's.

Who is max?

Who is thorin? Now you have me wondering why he would feel ripped off about crappy weather.

Did you check your washer reservoir to see if it was empty or if it was a malfunction? I don't think running out of fluid is a warranty item, but they would probably put water in it if you asked them to.

Did you know the fog lights will only work on low beam?

OK - I'm an idiot... the reply was to be on this thread https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...t=washer+fluid

I must have had two windows open and posted reply in the wrong one... my bad

didn't check under hood yet: was spraying and stopped, so I assume it ran out - the gripe and the feeling ripped off was about not having a low fluid warning light like Canadian model

fog lights: fixed now - dealer said wouldn't come on becuase it was "unplugged at the fuse box"
