Hi All, just bought a 2010 Advance. Enjoying it so far--

Have a few things to fix or freshen up, was wondering if anyone has links to a service manual and/or a full parts catalog

Off the bat I need a few small parts, including the little flap that goes over the trunk striker, but from looking online it seems like you have to buy the whole trim piece that it is a part of. Anyone know? IT is this that I am looking for:



Also this bit of the plastic stuff around the wiring in the engine is crumbling, if anyone knows a replacement? Otherwise I am probably just going to use tesa tape on it:





The other thing is the BSI system is not working, but I will look at that later. Any assistance is appreciated. Looking forward to owning this great car for a long time.

thanks

the trunk trim piece involves springs, so I wouldn't doubt that you would have to buy the whole piece just to get the cover.
you could probably try ebay or junk yards...most of the time, they will let you piece meal parts.

the 2nd piece you need is just wire loom. you can use any off the shelf wire loom tubing.

 

Thanks, appreciated.

I can probably live without the little striker cover as it appears to be mostly aesthetic anyway...

I guess as a follow up, there are a lot of places that sell oem Acura parts online. Any recommended sites?

thx

which ever OEM dealer has the part cheaper, with the cheapest shipping price...

I think www.acuraoemparts.com has a 5%off discount code of "Acurazine"


however, what you will find is that all the dealers are selling at a +- of $10, which they make up for in shipping.

to be honest, for the parts you need....I wouldnt go through the OEM dealers websites and would just go through ebay or a junk yard...you can try www.car-part.com, as it scours local junk yards for the part you need
