I'm at 255,000Km and no major issues. My only beefs is that rust started to pop up. And I have a white car so its very noticeable. But its still a great drive, and still turns heads

VSA light and wheel speed sensor

Does anyone have pictures or a pdf from a manual showing location and replacement instructions for front right wheel speed sensor and oil pressure switch for a 2000 Acural RL ?
Also I have seen and printed the pages online for replacing right rear window motor ….any suggestions for where to buy one …any special tools you need or recommend?

Thanks,

Rogue

I'm looking at a 1998 RL with 100k miles (160,000 km) and a 1997 with 187.5k miles (300,000 km). Anything special I should be looking for?

00' almost 150k- Runs like a new car. In the shop getting the last use of my warranty to fix small leak -Rear Main seal and some other seal get a new PS Rack. Needs new tires and struts and couple other little plastics that cracked. Just painted my grille after the chrome bubbled really bad. This babies are tanks, tho. Take good care of them and you'll cruise through 250k easy

Update:

As the O.P., I thought I would do an update on my 1997RL. Just went past 220K and is going strong.
I have replaced the clock spring in the steering wheel to regain the use of my steering wheel controls,....did the project myself with a used unit bought off ebay.
I replaced both of the CV axles and cured my front end vibration.
The main relay was giving me a fit. Took some diagnostics to figure out the problem wasn't actually the main relay, but the wire connector that plugs into the relay. Sourced one from a wrecked unit and it hasn't given any trouble since.
The leather interior is holding up extremely well and the car is averaging 23mpg highway and 17 around town.
All and all I am super happy with my RL. Its a great riding and driving car. It's a nice looking ride and it is what I was hoping it would be....a nice, comfortable daily driver.
