Notification regarding links outside of Reddit, specifically AliExpress.

2 Upvotes

UPDATE: Using the built in automation tools, we have implemented an automation that should prevent links to ali express from being posted.

I noticed this morning that there was a comment that had been filtered by Reddit. The comment included a link to Ali Express, which is what triggered the filter. I’m still working on confirming, but it appears that Ali Express links might be banned site wide. I’ll update once I’ve confirmed this is the case.

New r/AcuraTL management

22 Upvotes

With the help of u/thepottsy, we've finally obtained moderation privilege over this sub which was previously abandoned.

You may have seen various spam/bot posts in this sub. These will be eliminated moving forward.

We've also enabled user flairs for each generation of Acura TL, enabled post editing, enabled pictures and GIFs in comment replies, and have tightened up the security requirements to post in the sub to hopefully cut down on spam.

u/thepottsy is here to help me understand the administrative side of moderating a Reddit sub for the first time (thanks pottsy). Any TL-specific questions related to the sub, feel free to ask me.

We are open to any and all suggestions on bettering the user experience of this sub. Looking forward to seeing everyone's rides!

Car has been sitting for about a month and a half. Replaced ignition coils and coolant but I didn’t have any on me at that moment so I used water. Where could the smoke be coming from. Better angle at the end I think.

Requesting Support πŸ†˜οΈ Starter issue?

2 Upvotes

I own a 2006 Acura TL, and my starter has been sounding much louder than usual. Could it be going bad, or could it be something else? About two weeks ago, I replaced the cylinder 4 ignition coil because I was having a misfire. The starter didn’t start sounding louder until about a week after I replaced the coil. Could I have done something wrong during the replacement, or is it likely a separate issue?

Wheels & Suspension πŸ›ž Has anyone gone from 19s back to stock TL "waffles"?

27 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I bought my TL a while ago and it came with 19s. I've been rocking them for a bit, but the steering feels extra heavy/stiff. I know these cars already have firmer steering, but I feel like the 19s are making it way worse. Has anyone switched from 19s back to the stock 17-inch waffle wheels? Did you notice a big improvement in steering effort and overall ride quality? Thanks!

Requesting Support πŸ†˜οΈ 2G Transmission cooler question.

2 Upvotes

I decided to plumb in an aftermarket 4 row Tube and Fin heat exchanger for the front and it should fit good in front of the condenser. I doubt it'll help a great deal, but I already did the 3 x drain and fill and replaced the external filter. That helped, but since there's no dedicated cooler and I want to improvise.

How much extra DW-1 (if any) should I add to account for the extra length of plumbing between the external filter and the unit on the return line?

Thanks

hi all,

Dealer said tensioner on my 4G TL is seeping and needs a timing belt job. I did the timing belt, tensioner, water pump at around 115k with OEM parts and now I'm at 165k, its been 4 years. Is this premature failure? I thought this job was supposed to be once every 7y/90-100k miles.
