Although timing belts are critical, there`s no need to replace them regularly –unless explicitly recommended in your Acura owner`s manual. Some automakers recommend changing a timing belt between 60,000 and 100,000, others don`t. Many of today`s timing belts can go 100,000 miles or more without needing to be replaced.
Timing belts are replaced as part of scheduled maintenance, usually every 60,000 to 100,000 miles.
Under normal driving conditions, a timing belt will last for seven to ten years. The replacement process will take between three and six hours to complete, but you`ll only have to replace the belt once or twice over the lifetime of your Acura.
The average cost for an Acura TL Timing Belt Tensioner Replacement is between $697 and $824. Labor costs are estimated between $485 and $612 while parts are priced between $212 and $212.
You can expect an Acura to last between 250,000 and 300,000 miles and at least 16 years.
You`ll find that many Acura vehicles come with a timing belt, which is vital to ensuring that the moving parts in your engine are in sync. Your Acura timing belt ensures that the camshaft and crankshaft are harmonized.
The 3.2L V6 engine on the 2005 Acura TL is driven by a Timing Belt. They recommend to replace it every 90,000 to 105,000 miles.
It is safer to replace the timing belt even earlier than the manufacturer recommends. In general, however, timing belts needs to be replaced from 60,000 miles up to 150,000 miles.
The recommended replacement according to mileage ranges from 60,000 miles to 150,000 miles. If your vehicle is 6 to 10 years old, it is recommended to replace the timing belt.
At some point, the Acura TL was an underrated luxury sedan that offered tremendous value over its German rivals. During its tenure, it was widely regarded as a reliable, fun car despite its conservative styling. However, it has its fair share of problems.
The real cost is in the labor, because a lot of parts need to be disassembled to get to the belt. Shopping around to get a few quotes is your best bet to get the best deal, but you can expect to pay anywhere from $409 to $919 (including parts and labor).
The average cost for Acura TL Timing Belt Replacement is $608.

No coolant in the reservoir. Seen low coolant message. I added 2 quarts of 50/50 coolant. Still getting the message. How much coolant doe it need?
ANSWER : Hi there. For the coolant light to go out, you would need to have the coolant between the low line and the full line for the light to go out. If the coolant is low and keeps on being low, then look for any signs of coolant leaks. You may have to use a coolant pressure tester to pressurize the reservoir to allow the leak to be found.
If you need further assistance with the coolant being low and the warning light being on, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
How to check which (valve/head)gasket is not working& what is the price to fix head gasket ?
ANSWER : The problems you describe (leaking radiator, overheating) often lead to a "blown" or leaking head gasket. For your vehicle, there is only 1 head gasket, which would need to be replaced. This is in addition to any failure of the radiator or other cooling system components.
I recommend having a YourMechanic mobile, professional mechanic come to your location and perform a car is overheating inspection. This inspection will identify failed cooling system components (radiator, head gasket issues) and recommend/quote needed repairs.
Coolant thermostat and motor mount replacement
ANSWER : Hello. My research indicates that the replacing the thermostat on this vehicle could be considered a labor intensive or time consuming procedure. This translates to a higher than normal cost to replace a thermostat for this vehicle, when compared to most other vehicles. The cost will also vary according to the shops labor rate, and the amount of time they choose to charge. A coolant flush is also a good idea when servicing the cooling system, and often recommended as it will help maximize the life of the coolant and the cooling system components by cleaning out any particles or contaminants in the cooling system. In regards to the motor mounts, a careful inspection of the mounts would be required to determine which ones need to be replaced. If the vibration seems to be more pronounced on the driver side then it may be possible that the driver side mount is the one that requires attention. As it appears there are multiple issues, I would recommend having a professional technician, such as one from YourMechanic, visit your location to address the issues.
does the repair include coolant recycling and line drying
ANSWER : Refrigerant cannot be charged to an empty system without first thoroughly evacuating the system, preferably down to 500 microns. Therefore, if you see a price quoted for charging an empty system, of course that includes a proper, professional and complete evacuation of all moisture in the system prior to re-charging. Furthermore, once a system is opened, the dryer MUST be replaced. If that is not discussed by the mechanic, and specified in the price, run for the exits. As far as the optimal repair strategy, given what has broken, it would help to see it up close to rule in or out the possibility of salvaging the compressor and just repairing the clutch. On the other hand, the compressor is not new, that is you have 8 years on the shaft seal (a key potential leak point) and an unknown number of miles. If you repair the clutch and leave the old shaft seal in, you may get to do the whole repair all over again sooner than you would like. Consequently, it might make sense to buy a new or rebuilt compressor. New is preferred, unless you have first hand knowledge of the rebuilder or are rebuilding it yourself (they are NOT difficult at all to rebuild at home). Another possibility is a dealer supplied rebuild which might be more reliable than rebuilds obtained elsewhere. Please let us know if you need further assistance. In particular, if you just simply want YourMechanic to handle this, the service to request is clutch service and/or compressor replacement and the responding certified mechanic will get this taken care of for you. If you are going to do it yourself, just remember, if you get refrigerant (R134a, R-12, R-22) in your eye, you will permanently lose you vision. Wear a face shield and/or appropriate safety googles. Of course you will need a recovery machine and a 3-5 CFM vacuum pump as well. If you have further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to re-contact YourMechanic as we are always here to help you.
My car is leaking coolant and telling me to stop the car and check coolant.
ANSWER : Going by your description and the age of the car, I’m going to guess you have a problem with your water pump. The water pump has a rotating seal that often doesn’t leak unless the engine is running. If your water pump is leaking you might be able to see a drip from the bottom of the engine front cover. Before jumping to any conclusions though, you should have a professional pressure test the system to be sure. If you contact Your Mechanic. they can send a technician to your home or office to check out your leak and tell you what it will take to solve it.
My car has a coolant leak
ANSWER : Hello. The most common cause of a random coolant loss on this vehicle is a leaking intake manifold gasket. It commonly starts leaking coolant into the engine, which will be burnt off or will leak externally. I typically do a pressure test and a dye test on the system first to see if I can locate an external leak. If nothing is found, then I do a block test to make sure that there is not a head gasket issue. If nothing shows up there, then I replace the intake gaskets. If you need to have this done, consider YourMechanic, as a certified mechanic can come to your home or office to diagnose the coolant leak and replace the intake gaskets if necessary.
How many gaskets are found in the upper engine gasket kit for a 2008 Audi Q7
ANSWER : Hi there. You could find a head gasket and the gasket kit from a local parts store or the dealership. The head gasket is sold separately from the upper gasket set. The upper gasket set comes with the intake gaskets, exhaust gaskets, valve cover gasket, and thermostat housing gasket. If you need further assistance with oil getting into the cooling system, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
