A-134 Service
 

I've got 2007 TL with just over 105k miles.

My A-134 Service light just came on.

Do you have to change Timing Belt, spark plugs, etc? I called Acura and they said service was $1520.

I usually get my oil changes, tires rotated, filters changed etc at Honda since they are reasonably cheaper.

Honda says $900 for timing belt and $245 for spark plugs. Oil change is about $40 and Transmission fluid is about $80.

Should I just call Acura and see how much for timing belt/spark plug? Again, is this necessary based on mileage? I'll do it if so, but don't want to spend that much $$$ if not necessary. I do mostly highway driving if that matters.

Thanks

Yes, you have to get it done. If the timing belt breaks, the engine is trashed.

I'd do the 105k service at the Honda dealer, but skip them doing the plugs for $245 and do it yourself....

I got the NGK Laser-Iridium plugs for $60, and had to get a socket extension and a thing like an antenna but with a magnet on the end to pull the plugs from the back side of the engine out, and it took about 2 hours, first time changing plugs on a car.

Ask them how much labor is to do the TB/WP job. You can buy the TB kit from Kaleb (AZ vendor) for $295.00. Alternatively, contact Honda or an indy mechanic that you trust and find out how much the labor would be. Kaleb sells the plugs as well.
