Hi All,

The title says it all. I bought the car in Feb 2004 and crossed the 180k mark today. Needless to say, it has been the best car I've ever had. A perfect combination of power, performance and styling. It has essentially been bullet proof.

However, there are some little issues that have been creeping up and I am very happy to have found this site. Thanks for all the help you've already given me and any help you can send my way as I separate out some needs in different posts.

best,

180k and still going strong

Welcome Peter. What little issues are you having? Also is it the original trans?

awesome man!! congratsss

 

Hi All,
Thanks for the welcome! I don't have any mods yet so, I'm afraid my pics would be boring but I will work on posting some.

The transmission is original and has not given me any problems. I have only recently learned that it has been a problem for others.

My little issues:
Compliance bushings are broken
My rearview mirror doesn't stay put (after reading here and adjusting the clip it is much better-still tracking down a reference to a Tech Bulletin to restore completely)
My rear passenger door does not unlock

I haven't done a search yet on the bushing and the rear lock but I haven't found either one referenced in the shop manual that I just got.

Anyone have any experience with the parts CDs? Lack of part numbers is driving me crazy!

Thanks for the help!

 

Go to http://www.acuraoemparts.com/delray/...=1&catcgry1=TL to figure out part numbers.

 

Thanks Guitar! That will really help!

Mirror loose TSB (cliff note from various threads on this same subject: you might be able to fix it yourself by bending the existing clip/spring):

Welcome and congrats on making it to 180K relatively unscathed

 

wao congrats on the high mileage, and welcome to the site!

 

I'm approaching 150,000 miles in the next month and a half or so on my TL, it's also a 2004 and it's got its original transmission.

Take that, domestic automakers.
