Hey guys new to here jus recently bought a 08 Tl base 118k always wanted the car..As i have been reading i should probably do the 105k service..have already drained the trans fluid once about week n 1/2 ago will drain again in the next week replaced front motor mount back tires and back rotors..planning to throw drilled slotted rotors all around..ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS THINK I NEED TO DO ??? ...ALSO HAVE A QUESTION I WANT TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION PRESSURE SENSOR HOW MANY ARE THERE?? (MIGHT BE A AMATEUR QUESTION) I HAVE 08 IMPALA POLICE PCKG 65K NEVER HAD ANY TRANNY PROBLEMS...I FEEL A VERY SLIGHT SHUTTER MAYBE AT 2G AND ALSO ALITTLE AT 4TH CAR RUNS VERY SMOOTH IDK IF IM NOT USED TO IT OR I NEED TO REPLACE SENSORS ANY ADVICE I WOULD APPRECIATE ..THANKS IN ADVANCE TO MY NEW FAM
yeah, when buying a used car...you should replace all fluids...brake fluid, oil, tranny, coolant, power steering fluid.
and then you should inspect the car to see what it needs. Since we cant inspect it over the internet, we cant tell you what the car may need. Def. get the 105k service done.
Yea i did have it inspected..it was just simple things like 2 new back tires back brakes and rotors..one of the fog lights was out front tire rods and tire rods ends..thats about it had all those things done..i was just curious from daily acura tl drivers what things you thinks should be done or may need to be done with 118k
^that's my point. we cannot tell you what your car needs or should be looked at.
if your mechanic said that's all that's needed at that time...then that was all that was needed.
if something ISNT broken, dont fix it!!!
my maintenance cost are like less than 1000 dollars a year. that means, the car doesnt need much.
and I had suggested for you to change all your fluids and do the 105k service.
if it aint broke, dont fix it.
on the other hand, if something is broken...fix it!!
and you will know if something is broken...
^the MORE you work on her, the MORE comfortable you will get on diagnosing problems.
check front end suspension for bad parts....if parts are bad, replace!
yea im just new to the ride of my TL i have have been a chevy guy for the past 5 years (3 impalas) such a noticable difference when i drive my Impala to the TL lol took two weeks getting use to the stiffer ride
..planning to throw drilled slotted rotors all around...
The consensus is to skip the drilled rotors; zero benefit and potentially some drawbacks. Many folks, myself included, would suggest you skip the slotted rotors as well, once again, zero benefit. Just go with standard high quality blanks (such as Centric) for your new rotors.
Yea i actually like the look with red calipers ...not sure if its because of the Acura but there was def. a difference in stopping power on my impala but the powerstop brakes were i think an "1 larger in the front ...but not doing it for performance just the look..i may or may not summer is over might wait till next summer we"ll see lol im really jus focused on making sure she stays on the road with no problems gonna do all little things first before really tweaking Performance wise....i have my eyes on a few Products from ENDLESSRPM...gonna start a progress thread Soon
