Regarding the smell: NO THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
It sounds like a pre-catalyst exhaust leak or if it is fuel, a fuel leak. Get it to a dealer ASAP.
As far as the vent issues, I can't say I've experienced this.
Regarding lane keep assist, when I was 5 miles from the dealer driving through...
Got my car back today. Dealer said that engineering at Acura didn't know what to make of the codes so they just replaced all the rear bumper back up sensors ?‍♂️
First thing I noticed upon receipt is my car was filthy. It looked like it sat in a gravel lot in the rain for a week straight and...
I fear my previous post may have been a little misleading. They haven't stated they would buy the car back. Those were my words.
I really don't want to go down that path because I truly enjoyed driving the car in the time I did and if we do end up in a buy back situation I won't be getting...
Or if you drag frame going over speed bumps like I did in my early years.
Honestly, every car is different due to the underbody ground clearance and front/rear overhangs. I never scraped my rx7 but I drove my buddy's rx8 1 time and scraped the shit out of his lip since it protruded so much...
The dealer is back to not knowing what is going on and we are now waiting for a field engineer to arrive to look at the car. Dealer also noted Acura may want to take my car to the HPD center for further diagnostics...if it comes to that point they'll be buying it back.
Acura pricing has been way above what it should be for years. That's why it's "struggling." Why would they change things now? It would be easier to kill the model than reduce profits. Corporate 101.
Well it appears that the dealer didn't listen to a word I said. Called me today to let me know they believe something is going on with the rear bumper parking sensors causing the software to freak out.
I do not have the access to the tools they do regarding this but I do have experience...
No one is trying to make you feel like an idiot (afaik). Following procedures is the easiest way to complete a job without experience. advising to see somebody with experience gives you the chance to learn from their experience.
FWIW If the tolerances are changing after adjustment, something...
I have an entire thread on the issues I've experienced. I'll TL;DR it for you though.
At 1600 miles (2 months into ownership), my Integra went to the dealer over parking sensor warning messages. It got part slapped and returned to me for less than 24 hours before the issue came back, now the...
This is the best advice I've seen so far.
Don't forget, your average driver in the great US of A has no fucking clue what they are doing and would rather be staring at a screen.
Drive defensively or get hit. Unfortunately, that's reality.
Oof. Sounds like you got in way over your head with this.
1. If you did not start at TDC on #1 the entire job could have messed up the valve timing for each subsequent step. Unfortunately, every step after the first one relies on the prior step having been completed.
2. You can get around this...
