thanks very much guys! will take back to dealer again car was SILENT before the fuel pump recall bob

THANK YOU Skyactiv! The dealer did tell her to empty the trunk and back seat! OK, what is rattling, and how do we fix it. dealer already "fixed it" once. thanks for explaining 2 fuel pumps. my RDX has direct inject.bob

my sister in law has a 2020 Accord. She just had a fuel pump recall. Dealer fixed for free. car has 9,000 original miles. New sound, like a "tin can" clanking sound that comes and goes. I have ridden in it and hear it. It SEEMS to go with wheel speed. applying the brakes does not seem to make it...

after decades of washing and waxing I finally tried this: https://avalonking.com/shop/ceramic-coating/armor-shield-ix-diy-kit/ I did a new car, pretty easy, and a 2012 Accord, pretty hard. I did a TOTAL prep on the cars first. ******no more car washes.****** hand wash, clay bar, polish, 2...

thanks! i never knew that! does the extra gasoline cool the engine? I love this car, and the power they get out of a tiny engine!!!! my Dad had a 1973 Cadillac Fleetwood (large) with about a 500 cubic inch engine. 225 horsepower, 8 miles/gallon. my 120 cubic inch engine has about 270 hp and 23...

I am leaning to believe TC 71 just went to daughter's. cruising highway at 65 mph, around 1700 rpm. hit the gas, got the usual cloud of "water" appearing. second time LESS, and third time NONE. looked like water vapor or droplets. condensation from intercooler SEEMS RIGHT! thanks everyone...

great! THANKS guys!! most of my driving is 25-30 mph locally, very little throttle bob

Johhny: thank you! where is the carbon coming from? should I do more high throttle driving once in a while? great car. thanks bob

thanks! I absolutely drive mostly around town at 35 mph. go to daughter every 2-3 weeks. I don't see it cruising at 60 mph on the highway, but DO see it if I really put my foot down. I believe it is not impending doom, might be ?water in exhaust? ??unburnt fuel? thanks bob i love this car

THANKS for all your previous help! So I have a 2020 Acura RDX. I think it has one turbo. If I am driving at 60 mph on the highway and stomp the gas to pass a truck, I get a cloud of SOMETHING from the exhaust. to me looks more like steam, and less like white, blue, or black smoke. any ideas...

thanks guys! "good enough" by that, I mean good enough to avoid any deposits in a direct inject turbo engine, which I want to last a LONG time. Acura recommends premium. I looked up Citgo is top tier, meaning it should have good additives. slack tide: why would I want to use 5/30 instead of...

THANKS for all your great help with RDX rear diff. fluid, and Accord timing belt. OK, have 2020 RDX. i think it is direct inject with 2 turbos. (I think) want to keep car LONG term. i keep up with all maintenance most convenient gas is Citgo, I get super unleaded like the car calls for. 1. Is...

thanks Char. retired 4 years, now a slave to 4 grandchildren!! no pay!!!! hahahaha bob

thanks guys! glad to hear about the chain (no belt to replace like my Accord) and electric steering. have a great day bob

follow up. Does my RDX have a timing belt, or chain?

good morning! THANK YOU for helping me with Accord timing belt and RDX rear diff. fluid. I watched a great video from Engineering Explained about turbo, direct inject engines. I have a 2020 Acura RDX about 13,000 original miles dumb questions: 1. unfortunately I DO make lots of short trips. I...

car is 10 years old.

THANKS! car is at Honda dealer for timing belt and all tensioners and pulleys and water pump. i believe you guys, I am doing the right thing! best, bob

i got the rear diff fluid changed. thanks to all!!! bob

thanks guys! i set up to change the timing belt tomorrow. I am asking them to save the old one for me to see! I think it makes sense if we keep the car 3-5 more years. no rust, I have done all maintenance. best bob
