Hi everyone just wanted some new owner tips
I currently drive an 04 tl base model 5s automatic and having restored some features her previous owner neglected i was hoping for few tips or what tipe of handling to expect, front suspension was redone with air intake, radiator as well as 2 front engine mount replaced oil change and other including parts to reservice accompanying what I re did to her, she has 189k km on Odom and honda service tech says transmission A1 after trying car, also brakes redone too, i Beleive in only needing a soon service of timing belt and re alignment and i think I've done all she needs, so what should I expect from here out?

Welcome to the forums.
Since this is a topic/technical issue which will require replies and discussion, this thread has been moved from the New Member Introductions forum to the model specific forum. |
1.) Wow...that is one heck of a long sentence.
2.) Not exactly sure what all was said here. What does the front suspension have to do with the air intake? 3.) The transmission is throwing a code? Or it is ok? 4.) Two front engine mounts? I thought we only had 3 engine mounts total...front, back, and side? There really is only a couple of somewhat common "issues" for these cars: 1.) Dash cracks...nothing you can do. When its time, its time. Some people have cracked at 5 years, others at 10+ with no cracks yet. Mine held out for 12'ish years. 2.) Auto transmissions - just keep up on fluid and replace the pressure switches 3.) LCA bushings - just inspect and replace if torn 4.) HFL module fails and drains battery I think those are the more common issues. |

I just felt that occasionally pressing the pedal just a little did nothing or too much, which made smooth starts with the manual tricky. |
If your battery is draining (after sitting a few days), it's either the HFL module fails and drains battery or A/C relay ($6.00 part). I unhooked the HFL and replaced the relay. A/C fans blows harder now.
Congrats on the new to you TL and welcome to AZ!! :thumbsup: |
