What we check first
The Acura issues a specialist knows by heart.
These are the well-documented, high-frequency faults on Acura platforms. Whether yours has them depends on the year, engine and mileage, which is what the diagnostic is for.
Timing belt on the V6
MDX and TLX V6 engines need belt, water pump and tensioner at the interval. It is the single most important service on the car.
Torque converter shudder on the 9-speed
A shudder at light throttle on newer models is often software and fluid. We check for updates before anything mechanical.
Cylinder deactivation oil consumption
VCM engines can use oil and foul plugs. We measure consumption and check plug condition rather than guessing.
