Are you looking for a Acura TL?

Q: How to make a 2007 acura tl faster?
I reecently bought a 2007 acura tl, with 18 k miles. it has the base 3.2 v6 engine that produces 255 horsepower and is front wheel drive. Any way to make it faster without throwing down thousands of dollars?

A: the first simple step I would take to make a car “faster” would be to reduce as much weight as possible, the most simple things would be to remove stuff from the interior, that is if you won’t have any passenger on your car.
aftermarket air intake doesn’t really make your car any faster, and don’t even mention the exhaust…. unless you put headers then that is something different

Q: How can i repair a low air flow in a 2003 Acura TL?
the A/C is cold but the air flow from the vents is low.
2003 acura 3.2 tl
reply fast please!!!

thankyou

A: Dale B. is right. You need to have the cabin air filter replaced. I had a Honda CR-V that had the same issue. As soon as i replaced the cabin air filter, the system blew harder and colder than I remembered. Also, it’s not good for your A/C system to keep the dirty one. It’s behind the glove box so change it or have it changed.

Q: How to remove front door pockets on a 2005 Acura TL?
I’m looking for a easy way to remove the front passenger door pocket on a 2005 Acura TL. I’ve spilled something down there and would like to remove this panel to clean without hopefully having to disassemble the entire door panel.

A: No way without taking door panel off… Good Luck!

Q: What is the difference between the Acura TL and the Acura TL Type S? How much more expensive is the TL Type S?
Could I get a used 2007 Acura TL Type S with a reasonable amount of miles for under $25,000?

A: Yes you can, and the TL type-s is much more powerful and more fun to drive! I’ve haven’t driven one personally, but i drive an rsx type-s and have driven a base model rsx and the difference is so great that i would never drive a base model. Plus, the type-s can come in a 6 speed, and manuals are more fun.

Q: How reliable/good of a car is the Acura TL?
I’m looking to purchase a used car and like the look of the Acura TL. Anywhere from 2003-current is the year I’m looking for. How reliable are these cars, is there a model year I should look for or be weary of, and how many miles do these cars usually last?

I’m trying to spend no more than $10,000. What should I expect???

-Thanks!

A: if you get one with an automatic transmission, you might want to research, but avoid the 03 and 04 models. for any honda with an automatic, make sure to change the fluid once a year with honda factory fluid and you will be fine.

Q: What cold air intake system should I install on my 2005 Acura TL?
I have a 2005 Acura TL and I would really like to do a few things to it over the summer. Some of the things I have planned are new high performance rotors, the V-Spec spoilers and side skirts, and a cold air intake system. However, when it comes to the intake system I don’t have too much knowledge in the area. What brand intake system should I buy for my TL to get the best performance? Money is not a problem, I just want to know what is the best for my TL and will give me results. Thanks

A: Just about all cold air intake have about the same improvement (in performance). But like the poster above said you have to worry about water (puddles) being sucked in to your engine.

You should opt for short air intake (for a street car). Again just about all short air intakes have about equal amount of increase in power gain. That’s because it isn’t that the short / cold air takes are so good, but that factory air intake are very restrictive (bad) due to noise restrictions.

The only differences between various brands are that you can get a generic model or specific model that fits your crowded engine bay better.

Q: Does anyone Know what type of low beams are reqiured for an acura TL 2003?
My acura TL reqiures specific bulbs for the headlights. Can I recieve assistance?

A: Low beam headlamps are HID-D2R

So, any racks i can rely on?

A: Go to JCwhitney.com

Q: BMW 3 series Vrs Acura TL which is good?
I’m planning on buying a used car and I’m torn between either the BMW 3Series or Acura TL (2003-2006) under 50k miles. I’ve done a couple of online searches for these cars and I must say that the Acura always comes out with way higher prices as compared to the BMW. So I want to know what’s so unique about the Acura or does the BMW depreciate its value rea quick. I need some good advise between these two cars. Thank you all!

A: I love my BMW 328i and my husband has a Acura TL. We’re always comparing cars and I usually win. I say go for the BMW!

Q: Does the 2006 Acura TL have an auxiliary jack in the OEM stereo system?
I am thinking about getting my mother in law an ipod for mother’s day, she has a 2006 acura TL and I am wondering if the vehicle has an auxilary jack in the stereo system.

A: No, the AUX feature is only available on the ‘07 and up TL’s. If you really want to be a great son-in-law, maybe you can buy this and install it. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_581PA15HON/USA-Spec-iPod-Interface.html?search=USA+Spec+VENDORID581&searchdisplay=USA+Spec

Q: I need help setting the clock of my 2004 Acura TL?
I bought a 2004 Acura TL and I need help setting the clock. It appears that the instruction manual can’t help me with this one. When I set the time, it tells me to put in a code. I put the code in and it says error. What do I do?

A: you need to hit the set-up button on the dash….should be right above your radio to the left of the little toggle joystick thing. there should be 4 menu options at the top of the screen. can’t recall which one it is under, but you click through the menus it should have an option for the time.

I have never heard of the TL asking for a code before. I have a 2004 TL and the only time I was asked to enter a code was when I was in an accident and had some heavy duty repairs to be made, they took the radio out.

Q: Should I trade in my 07 Jeep Grand Cherokee for a Acura TL?
Should I trade my 07 Jeep Grand Cherokee fully loaded in for a Acura TL? What do u think i should do??????
Thanks already for some input. I own about 17500 on the jeep. I get 16.5 mpg. I guess I’m considering this because of the rise in gas prices.

A: i would i love acuras

Q: Acura base TL 2002 transmisssions, what other yrs will work?
Have a sick acura tl just out of the warranty period for the transmission problem. It’s a 2002 base TL wondering what other year transmissions will work?

A: Any AT after 2005 should fit fine and not have the problems associated with your unit.

Q: How can I get in-dash navigation in my 2004 Acura TL?
OK, so I’m in the process of buying either a 6sp 2004 TL or a 6sp 2005 TSX. Apparently Acura screwed up when designing their radios, putting in a single din motorized or double din unit is very hard to do?

Has anyone done this? Is there anywhere that has a dash kit to do it?

Thanks

A: You could pick up some ABS and fabricate your own mounting kit, or fiberglass your own kit. Either way, I’ve not personally seen a kit for either vehicle you mentioned by a reputable dealer such as Metra or Scosche. There is a listing for a kit for the TSX on eBay, but no picture is provided.
