'06 TSX here, changed the starter, power steering pump, a/c compressor, and even unplugged the bluetooth module last year cuz I thought it might be draining my battery. Turns out it was the starter causing it not to start. It's still unplugged by the way! Overall it's been a nice car that I've owed for 10 years with 182,000 miles currently.
Lmaoo I’ve chased many problems and just throwing parts at it kinda learned overtime try not to so much.. 😭
These are great cars if we treat them right!
@@RishMedia My AC Comp went out 5 years ago. I decided that since it's not my daily driver I would open the windows. The stock starter lasted me 14 yrs before I had to put in a rebuild. Having to take off the intake manifold was a pain in the ass. But I really don't know where else they could have put it with the engine design.
@@stuartdroberts1 goes to show oem parts last! The intake manifold isn’t as bad once you take it off once remove that bottom bracket it’s not needed and make it so much easier for any other time.
@@stuartdroberts1 I have RSX RBC I manifold and it easy access
where are you from lol
A proud owner of 2005 TSX. Bought the one that was used as a dealership's test drive vehicle with 28 miles on it. Now, in 2024, it has 255K, so far had to replace a serpentine belt at 140K, engine coils at 170K, alternator at 243K. The very first that went out was the trunk button, then the passenger door actuator, then the driver door actuator (both for remote entry). That's basically it. Hoping with the proper care I'll get another 250K out this car. I also had a used 2006 TSX for my wife, it also had a passenger door actuator issues and a leaking steering actuator. I love this car so much, that I even bought my daughter a 2005 TSX as a first car, manufactured just a month after mine.
DANG! your an OG love to hear it sounds like they've treated you very well! thanks for leaving your experience
I like you.
West Orlando here any carbon fiber parts out there
Spoke facts, I’ve replaced literally everything you mentioned on my 04 😂
Becoming a more common thing as these cars get older 😭
I just bought an 04 it got some problems with the battery (massive drain) so I tried some stuff but it didn’t work the Bluetooth didn’t either I just left it disconnected if some on ya know what it could be pls let me know id appreciate the help
Do u use premium fuel?
I’m literally fittin to replace this shit too- bro wtffff
'08 TSX owner here. Original owner, bought her in '08 sitting on the showroom floor. She's an auto though. Wish I could go back and rethink that. Unfortunately too, my girl has had a target on her since day one. Hit solid in the front end once, rear ended twice at stop lights, and really hard hit side T-Boned directly at the left front wheel just sitting in a parking lot. She's really suffered from other people hitting her but she's still soldiering on and fortunately with 85K on her now, she's been very dependable. I appreciate your channel. My goal is for her to out live me. So far, so good. A couple back in July offered me $12K cash for her. Their daughter was going off to college in August and needed a car. They saw her sitting at Kroger and when I came out of the store they were admiring her and asked if I'd consider selling her. Keep up the great work.
Damn dudeee theres not many OG tsx owners! Still a very solid car thats super unfortunate other peoples bs and driving habits put some hurt on her. Still super fresh and low mileage, just keep it thriving bro doing great!
Thank you for the support 🙏🏻
I got a 04 tsx with over 300,000 miles only thing I had to replace are the common stuff like any car starter and alternator all new ac. Still a good fun car and still gets looks going to keep mines for a while💯 looking to change out all old parts this year
Hell yeah! Nice to see higher miled Tsx getting taken care of 🔥🙏🏻
I have an 04 that has 228 on it and I hope I can make ot last to 300! That's awesome! I don't know though as whomever had ot before me did not do it justice. I've had to do brakes all the way around, two bearings, and now I am havibg a strange intermittent headlight issue. I live in WA so your comment about rust... yep, that could be an issue at some point for me. I have to say it's a relief to hear you mention the 1st - 2nd gear issue because I thought I was losing it! I will have owned this for 2 years on 6/13. I yhink my AC compressor has gone out, and of course that happened on a record day here last year where it hit 108 beginning of June!
Do u have premium fuel
i have a 2006 tsx but got it around 2014/2015 w/ 70ish thousand miles. lets just say ive experienced all the repairs or about all of them youve mentioned lol. this video hit right in the feels
literally replaced my alternator this past weekend too
Ayyeee thanks for popping by and leaving your experience!
I’ve definitely learned my lessons with my last Tsx chasing problems and all 😂
A problem I struggled with for a long time on my 07 was total power and electrical failure. The car would basically shut off sitting at a red light or electronics would malfunction while driving. I did some research and sometimes this could be related to ECU failure from moisture leaking onto the circuit board causing it to rust. I took mine out and it was fine. Others suggested changing the battery ground cable even if it looks in good condition still. I did so with an OEM one and that seemed to solve the issue. No more problems with that, fingers crossed.
Another problem that I am having, which is more of an annoyance, is that during idle with AC on the car vibrates tremendously. That’s the problem I’m currently working.
Otherwise, best car I’ve ever owned. Love my TSX 6speed.
I had kinda a weird similar problem it ended up being my knock sensor car was going crazy and in limp mode sputters the whole nine yards lol..
And the vibration at Idle check out your motor mounts even maybe the tranny mounts see how they’re doing!
I believe that was on a recall note for the moisture leaking into the ECU. And they put a protective cover on it later on.
@@riza4086 yup there was I think they literally put some sort of tape on it lol
My car started smoking behind the radio in my 04'.... So it's curtains for the radio...gotts probably replace the entire radio, harness and all...
Did you ever solve the vibration noise at idle with the ac!?
I live in Massachusetts where the roads are salted regularly. One major issues that I have found is corrosion damage to the body and panels on the driver's side. If you live in a similar climate take your wheels and fender liners off and check for rust. Also check the pinch weld lift points, ESP. on the front driver's side. It's very common for the entire portion to completely rust out.
After a full desalinization I use POR 15 regularly. Your car can be mechanically sound but if the body starts to rot out from underneath you it's a losing battle in the long term.
Yeah I know all about that being in CT all my life lol shitty roads ontop of the massive amount of rust the dump around
Nice things to list, but I generally havent had issues with those parts, until later miles, and if I went aftermarket, I was changing them out again. Always try to go denso with your starters, alternators, and so forth IF possible. Aftermarket axles suck when you get them for a manual. They are not the right size for the driver side. Unsure if it was a tad bit shorter, or longer.
Things that should also be listed:
HID Ballasts can get water in them or rust, if you live in areas with a lot of rain/snow. I sealed mine better with silicone
Clutch pedal cracks causing your clutch to prematurely go out.
Door Lock actuators commonly need to be replaced
Front Compliance Bushings commonly need to be replaced
Climate control lights might go out. Believe it or not, its the headunit/cd player portion that snaps into the back that fixes that. I replaced mine, and Im good. New ones can be found on ebay even.
Dome lights dont work with new bulbs even. The switch is the issue. Replace that.
Exhaust tips hang uneven. Get new hangers or better ones. I went with polyurethane. Worked perfect for years.
Rattle on start up? Its the VTC cam gear. I still have not replaced mine.
Hesitation while accelerating? The accelerator sensor most likely is the culprit. Its part number 37971-RBB-003. Sorry for the copy and paste.
Driver heated seat not working? Eh. I replaced my seat. Now that one isnt working after 3 years. 😒
And I think thats it. 😂 You covered the rest.
Woooo a big list! Most of those I think I haven’t really dealt with maybe the door actuator definitely the pedal crack is one I missed.
Thank you for your feedback man!
@@RishMedia Not a problem man! Always here to help if anything! Please keep the content coming!!!
Always man!! Trying to find out what people like to see and kinda go off that a bit, grinding to grown bigger. 🙏🏻
@@RishMedia I hear you! Honestly, you dont see much content for these cars. So whoever owns them would love to see ANYTHING dealing with them, from maintenance, to someone trying out aftermarket parts, races, common issues/fixes, and so forth. You'll do great.
Hell yeee that’s what this channels all about! 💪🏻
My 06 just hit 270k it’s by far the most reliable car I’ve owned I have replaced things like my radiator starter battery atleast 3 times in the 8 years I’ve owned it also the racking pin and I’m about to replace motor mounts soon and front shocks love these cars the k series is a solid engine also the transmission has been really good to me it’s stock never had any issues with that overall the tsx is an awesome car and fun to drive
Exactly man you treat these right do some usual maintenance, they’ll do you good to! So many Tsx’s going on 300k+ miles but unfortunately a lot of people neglect them too.
Big reason why they are becoming more popular and expensive.
2004 Tsx 290k hear 6sd running strong
Hell yeah that’s what I like to hear! 💪🏻
@@RishMedia I got some dope mods still not done!!!!
@@Onelovej keep it up man! Got a lot to this build myself so plenty of videos!
@@RishMedia 💯
2006 Acura TSX 6 speed manual with 320k miles. Runs and drives great. Just bought it off the original owner. Needs rotors-pads all around and two rear wheel bearings. Hopefully once I start daily driving it I won't find many more problems.
I love this video. I have an acura tsx 2006 that has 172k and still going strong... I can relate to this video with parts I had to change so far. Keep up the good work!
Alot of it is some common maintenance after so many miles. They are older cars so most have came to that point, but they’re solid when wanted to be lol.
Thanks for stopping in! 🙏🏻
Cracked clutch pedal bracket....I was swapping parts out left and right trying to figure out why it grinded going into reverse.. Then saw that in a forum and low and behold mine was cracked all the way down
Yuppp I over looked that one, dealt with it on my last one as well forgot to mention! Thanks for including it. 💪🏻
Thanks for this been happening to me i was wonder why it kept happening much apprecaited
I'll give you two more for the 2011 thru 2014 series:
1. Scratch prone interior door pulls...makes your TSX look like a 24/7 Uber car.
2. Defective VTC accuator in the 2.4 motor. Swap it out, new one goes bad in 30 days.
dang that cheaper plastics SMH!
but yeah i get that slight noise at cold starts lol.. been letting it rock can't do that job atm.
I got my daughter a 2007 TSX from a friend, as her first car. I love driving it. It had 110k miles on it, and it's like new. I just wish it was manual. It should last a long time.
They’re great cars! Low miles and clean PLEASE cherish it cause people neglect these awesome cars to much.
I'm about to go change my starting rack tomorrow and my AC compressor is bad ,I have a little vibration issue coming from the left side, I already rebuild my power steering pump and my alternator sometimes winds a little. But I love my TSX and I still think its pretty reliable, had it since 2017
Ooof steering rack isn’t the most fun job with the space, swapped mine out while the motors out of the car lol. Hopefully Detroit axle will be fine. But yeah that notorious wine through your speakers lmao
04 here. 109k. Awesome condition. Starter giving me trouble as we speak. Battery fine. Also door actuators! My driver side is out. Have to manually lock. And didn't hear the console backlighting mentioned. Radio and climate functions work fine, but none of the buttons light up. Thankfully, I can remember where everything is at night. Still a great car.
Yeah sounds like some aging issues, these cars aren’t the newest anymore but still really good! 🙌🏼
Great video. Thanks. I have an '06 had the rack and pinion replaced by a neighbor. I did the alternator. Need to do the power steering pump. Did all sorts of under carriage suspension work some by me (use the Diablo sawzall blades they cut way better than others). Dreamy to drive though and now at 240K.
Oh yeah a little TLC and these cars are solid, those rubbers bushings ware out in time.
I gotta do some replacing on the daily tighten up the steering and smoothness.
I just got an 04 6mt as my first stick car and I thought I was going crazy because no matter how smoothly I let off the clutch 1st to second is always so rough, glad to know it’s not just me 😂😂
I still have the issue tbh lol and its alot of factors to it too
dude I've exclusively driven manual for 20 years, and I still can't get first gear right in this car half the time. the lag is terrible
@@Red88Rex it’s horrible half the time I shift to second the whole car jerks😭
That rattling noise i faced in my several tsx's, timing of cam chain issues with engine, A/C compressor was my issue in 08, vibrating axle shaft was with 04 TSX I had, however my 08 so far was the best honda I ever purchased in life... I was its second owner, first owner was a gentle man !
My 04 had alot of random issues since thats the first year of the US TSXs i just got the iffy one. 😂 but these cars are great i just cant leave them alone so its down more then driving now.
Got a 04 tsx with 240k miles it is automatic the onky problem I had over the years was the transmission just giving out and the ac compressor other than that it works fine then again it is a daily and completely stock
Better to keep it that way! Sounds like its been a real solid daily 💪🏻
04 220k 6spd manual white. Only the starter z gone for me off your long list! Along with a couple of other things. Will drive it as long as possible. Don't have to deal with annoying auto trannies, auto start/stop, cylinder deactivation, turbo issues.....
These cars have been great for me but just the typical maintenance stuff and my hard driving style 😂
Damn... I changed starter, rack and pinion, ball joints front struts, radiator, head gasket, driver side window motor, master control switch alongside the other 3 window switches, all four actuators, rear upper control arms, front upoer control arms, rear sway bar rubber and link ends, radio, speakers. Damn i changed a lot.
Gahhhh damn lmaoo you and i both… currently have me engine out and apart again 🙃
I appreciate you appreciating us ! God I miss mine so bad. I upgraded to a dope 2012 civic LX 🤣😒
Still a solid car! Just not as “sporty” but we both ain’t fast anyways 😭
@@RishMedia I still drive it like it has a 4piston k24 😂
@@jamiebexley7125 only way to do it 🤌🏼
This vid helped me figure out why my 1st to 2nd feels shitty, the delay valve in the clutch master cylinder. I’m upgrading to the em2 asap. Thanks G!
Hell yeah!! Glad my video could be of help man 🙌🏼
I have had my 2006 Acura TSX for 17 years and put 250k miles on it. I have definately had to replace / repair some items on your list:
1. Power Steering Pump
2. Starter
3. Alternator
4. Bluetooth
Not on your list:
1. Ignition coils
2. Oil pump
3. PCB for interior button lights
Yup most of it is just overtime mileage/age maintenance but solid cars!
‘05 TSX Manual at 150,000: Multiplex Integrated Control unit faulty. Caused my dash lights to go out and electronic locks do not work. Upper and lower control arms needed replacement. Other than that, runs great!
I hate electrical problems lol just dealt with some myself threw this whole clutch job mess lmaoo
Had most of these. Also the Navigation disk read error is a super common one and happens to TLs also.
Yeah I’ve gotten weird errors with the disc read but never fully stopped working thankfully
I figured out cheap fix for DVD drive issue. you take the DVD drive in the truck apart and get number off of the actual disk drive inside of it and go to the junk yard, i pulled one from an 08 accord took it apart and had the same number on it and only paid $12.50 took home swapped and been working great ever since.
Finally!!!! An Honest accord or tsx owners. Ive seen many owners lie about their experience with the car. These fuckers mislead many potential owners.
Forreal! Most videos I’ve watched regarding this kinda topic they just bash the car or not give people the genuine info.
These cars are great but can be a pita with weird issues happening just like any other cars though.
I have a 04 tsx and my ac compressor, power steering and both lower control arms were cooked 😭 fixed them all and now I’m driving smoothly
Love to hear it man! Gotta get those general maintenance done have these things good as new!
I had to replace the EPS but Acura covered it under an "extended" warranty. I don't have a warranty, by the way. The dealer cost was $1,500, but Acura paid for the replacement. I have a 2012 TSX with 105K miles.
Atleast it was covered cause gahhh damnn lmaoo
Definitely doing my shift cables and motor/trans mounts soon. But good info on the ball joints and intermediate shaft. Much love
Get them done, maintenance is important 🙌🏼
Thanks for the support!
had mines for 3 years everything you said was facts, but I swear in my area at least, no tsx has a working glove box or sun visors
Lmaoo these cars do get some weird ass issues tho randomly at that
06 TSX with 112K. The glove box does not work. Sun visors still work.
I've been binging pretty much all your videos, they're really helpful thanks a lot dude. I'm looking to get one as my first car for my 18th bday in a few months 🙏
Thanks a ton dude!! Make sure to get something clean and 6 speed, wait around till you find the right one trust me.
I started the same time got my blue one when i was 18 didn’t even know how to drive manual lmao
@@RishMedia Thanks for the tips, whatever happens my first car will DEFINITELY be a manual haha 🙏
@@abb05 hell yeah man! Wish you the best on finding a gem 💎
@@RishMedia thanks a bunch! 😁
I have a 2011 TSX V6. So far, the only non-consumable that it needed was the starter. And that just happened this year.
Not to shabby! Got the nice v6!
My new tsx guy for sure I feel almost all that has been said heavy on the drain and heavy on the Ac not doing it’s job
Ayeee thanks for joining in 💪🏻
Parasitic battery drain issue was resolved in my 2007 TSX by disconnecting the trunk mounted DVD NAV unit.
nice! can also disconnect the bluetooth module under the glove box area
@@RishMedia yep did that first but still had a parasitic battery drain issue until the trunk mounted NAV DVD player was disconnected. Thanks!
2005 Acura TSX 194k owned since 2009. She looks nearly new still. . Biggest Issue I have is that this car will never die and saves me loads of cash. If i were like some people and got a new car ever 4-7 years, assuming averaging a $500 car payment, I would have spent $84,000 to date on car payments. If we assuming increased cost of insuring a newer vehicle, dealer fees etc were pushing $100,000. Calculate in opportunity cost of not being able to invest that $ were talking $130,000ish. So when I look at my bank account I know that my Acura TSX helped contribute to the number i see 😀. Blackstone lab oil results show that the Engine and Transmission have lots of life left.
love to hear it man, these cars are troopers for sure and can get them for a pretty decent price! just keep er maintained and it'll keep on giving! That's what I'm looking to do more investing to make bigger accomplishments.
I have an 06 and the Bluetooth thing gonna get unplugged for a little, it vibrates and from time to time when I brake and hit the gas battery light turns on & off. Don’t know what that could be
Hmmm and no CEL?
Make sure you battery connection is tight and battery isn’t moving. Also check your ground connections. Sounds like something’s a bit loose
Everything you said is fact 💯 they happened to me. But you forgot the pulley tensioner rattle sound is Also an issue. Honestly these are just wear and tear situation. Not really an issue that happens under 100k miles.
Yup most of the stuff is just a over time maintenance kind of thing. 100k is basically just breaking in the car fully and shouldn’t of needed many bigger repairs.
Never had any of thise problems with my daily driver two full time jobs smashing and racing everyone in the highway, the only things that went were the power steering, alternator starter, and just now after 190,000 miles my clutch master. After that awesome car! 2005 Acura Tsx 2005 the best ones!
glad to hear yours has been pretty simple general maintenance good stuff!
Yeah not bad i love these cars i think the 2005 ones came out a little stronger than the rest of the tsx’s once the extra electrical stuff gets added on i think thats where the issues start.
04 tsx had a alternate failure at 207k power steering rack and pinon failure and full break assembly replaced full suspension rebuild
That’s not terrible, some of that is typical sometimes they last for awhileee.
I know I am late to this but with the Accord CL9s the Accelerator Pedal Positioner (APP) Sensor being faulty is very common amongst most Accords, could be the same for the TSX's. This is usually why after driving for a while the car goes into Limp Mode, Usually the Engine and VSA Light comes on when this happens.
Yup it has happened to me once or twice before in the past, definitely a more problematic issue I do see amongst the groups.
Damn, it's been a minute since i watched this channel. last time i was on here there was a blue tsx 2 stepping. nice content!
Thanks for coming back to check out the channel again! 🙏🏻
Ball joints and and alternator went out this month and got them fix.
Did you get the ball joint pop out moment? I hope not!
How do you know you need ball joints in just asking because I have the same car
@@montrellrobinson120 usually you get kind of a squeaking when turning maybe like a creeking
Look under see how the boots looking if it’s torn but depending on miles like 120K+ should’ve been changed already
Great video. However, those are not common issues with the TSX, but with any 20 year old Honda or even other brands. All wear and tear parts will eventually require replacement.
I mean they are cause those are the common things to go with the tsx.
If it maybe just regular maintenance type stuff.
You right about the passenger suspension issue I'm having the same issue. It's like you basically have to replace almost everything on that side . You fix 1 issue but then a new issue happens. Then there's the steering wheel shake driving a little over 40mph.
Yupp our cars are tricky with that side, they don’t like aftermarket axles and people overlook the half shaft bearing going bad.
Make sure to check that out!
@@RishMedia i'm actually looking into that but I'm not sure who to buy from

Got my 06 for 71 hunnit beginning this yr and it's been amazing. Especially for gas but recently problems not starting after I get to a store. Nice people jumped me immediately almost but battery and alternator one yr old and testing good. Must be starter. Disconnected Bluetooth. Seems my power steering pump is bad too now that I see this video. AC is amazing. Oh it had 117k now 122k fastest 4 banger ever
Oh had two offers of 9k immediately but couldn't find anything decent to replace so I kept. Glad I did. Amazing engine and trans
Is it a 6 speed too!? Nice find man these cars are getting hard to come by lower miles manual certain color ways etc!
Plus the market is crazy but they are getting more “rare” good luck on the new build
Bro the whining of the alternator sounds like a supercharger 🤣. I had mines go out two times on my Euro R. The axel as well went out on the passenger side 🤦♂️🤣🤣. This video is stating facts 👌
Forrral lmaoo should’ve compared it to that lol and it’s all from the plenty of times I swapped axles 😭😭
Thanks for the feed back and checking it out 🙏🏻
@@RishMedia Np bro, awesome content btw
The rack and pinion was expensive back in 2010
For oem still expensive lol, but racks are a hit and miss on when they go sometimes takes a long while.
Thanks man now I know why my car is vibrating got to change my axle soon
Yessir it also can be your half shaft aswell
Huh, so that's why my TSX always had a battery draining problem. I got mine from my mom who daily drove it for 11 years (it's also white pearl but an auto). The battery would sometimes randomly die. Who woulda thought it was the Bluetooth causing it 😂
Yupp once the module goes bad it tends to just draw/drain power.. lol such a quick fix tho!
@@RishMedia how do i fix it

THANK YOU SO MUCH! ❤️
What Tsx content do you want to see!?
🙏🏽🤍🤝
All of those problems I had on my tsx I purchased almost all of those things
Yeah man then some have minimal of these problems lol, but alot of its general maintenance over time.
@@RishMedia absolutely correct remarkable content very informative 💯
2nd gen TSX has electronic power steering it can be kinda spendy if it goes bad but it typically lasts a long time and even if it does go bad you can pull one from a junk yard easily
I have a 2007 A/T. Pretty much replaced everything you said. And also replaced the tranny at 150k I didn’t like the way it was shifting.
7th gen Accord share all of these issues. Although I haven't had anything wrong with the rack and pinion....
Yup they’re the same chassis for the most part, good cars though!
when you're changing the alternator, take the two bolts off the power steering pump. you can move it out of the way and get the alternator in and out much easier. i can replace an alternator on these cars in 30 minutes.
Yessir! Nice tips thanks you!
Have a 06 bought it new has 165,000 no problems just oil changes and tires original clutch too 😊
That’s great!! Keep up the needed maintenance and it’ll last ya a long time. 💪🏼
ITS THE BLUETOOTH! That part was hilarious lmao
When In doubt always blame the Bluetooth 😂
I have a 2006 automatic and my issue is the AC.
Can't get it to even turn on. I changed the AC pressure switch and line even a new compressor. Changed the fuse n relay box that got my radiator fans to work Wich is had issues wit to but is fixed.
Sometimes things like that are a chasing game, theres ways to do tests to dumb down the options. But glad ya got it working though!
I'm running into the rack and i thought man i should have checked everything before getting it turns out that's the life of the tsx
Yeah man some things are general and go out over time of course but more prematurely when people don’t take care of em
@@RishMedia I just got the car not that long ago and was my fault not checking the tie rods now I need a whole suspension 🙃 thank you for replying though if you know any websites let me know please 🙏
@@cgpanda8682not a problem
Man but for cheaper but still decent brand suspension stuff get MOOG on rock auto
Then there’s your kseriesparts & heeltoeauto for a bit of everything
I'm considering trading labor cost for this vehicle and you got me double thinking LMAO bro was that beer? Lol dude just threw the notes out
It’s really just issues that happen over time with age and especially if previous owners don’t upkeep and treat them right.
But there’s those few things that just go bad or prematurely give out though.
Just like any car really.
Riiiish, everyday I get on YT and see your car In a thumbnail I'm like "Damn I love how low your car is " I like that year better than my 05 for the bumper, it's more up to date and sleek.
Aww shucks ☺️ thanks dude! Yeah the facelift is a bit different and the lip kits but maybe do a facelift if you’d like or try to find a 07-08!
@@RishMedia You're welcome bro. I may try to do the face-lift, if i spend money over $2k its going to an all Motor build 😎 Can't lie, difference in body style, hp and a manual is calling me. I was thinking if I all motor my 05 I'd probably get either an 06-08 to keep the project car off the road but that bitch is screaming for power, it does not make sense to put 93 in this car without POWAAAAA Parts 🤣
Tbh I wouldn’t go a all motor build in a auto Tsx won’t be as fun imo if you plan to go all out try to find a 07/08 6 speed for sure
@@RishMedia Yes that's true, definitely won't be fun driving a slap stick with excessive power under the hood. 6 speed It is 😎
Let’s gooo! 😈
I'm original owner of 16 years and have had to replace the battery numerous times. I finally unplugged the damn bluetooth after getting another new battery. We'll see if it fixes it.
Also, yes, Power Steering pump leaking but so far so good, only have had to replace the clutch and two interior bulbs.
Bluetooth thing definitely should help maybe could be a alternator draining too.
But if power steering is leaking through the lines just replace the o rings theyve been recalled.
Ripped seats because the leather is trash, failed Navi and radio backlight problems (04-05 only) are common issues too!
Yeahh Truee I think the 04-05 seats are a bit worse tbh
My rack and pinion seal blew up. I been power steering less for about a year now.
Damnnn son you said f doing that job 😂
@@RishMedia all my other cars been power steering less 🤣🤣🤣 may as well keep it going
@@Officially_Lauro_Built don’t think I’d be able to lol that shit is stiff
Hilarious. Everything you listed i had to replace on my 08 lmao. My car is like brand new considering all the work done. Im gonna have a hard time letting it go
Yeah same here since i got mine I’ve replaced or fixed most things front end/engine bay wise lmao
You named everything I had to work on so far wow this is true
Alot of it is common maintenance but is the stuff that goes out in the tsx lol
AC compressor, power steering pump, power steering rack, alternator, starter, AC compressor, AC condenser fan, AC condenser, front brake, driver side lock, VTEC leaky seal, oil drain plug leak, engine valve cover seal leak about 100K miles. That's about it, it's problem free Honda quality. LOL My Bimmer is same mileage and nothing broke. So much for Honda reliability.
Some things are a hit or miss and always depends on how it was taken care of maintenance wise. I’ve heard nightmare stories with bimmer 😂
08 tsx 180k still running smooth 👌 the only issue i have is that every year I have to replace my brake rotors, for some reason after a few months my cars start shaking when breaking at high speed, I'm guessing is a factory defect. If anyone has any tips please share 🙏 😊
Love to hear it! But is it just certain sides or all around? Could be a caliper thing and sticking a little making it uneven ware
@@RishMedia I believe it's just the front rotors , I have replaced all four calipers and changed brake fluid as well. Thanks for your reply
@@PR-oq7qn yeah maybe they just get hot spots and become warped maybe try different brand or styles
@@PR-oq7qn I heard the brake lines hoses get messed up and to replace those. I heard steel hoses last longer.
I thought these things were reliable, luckily I found this video.
They are for the most part just the common issues just like any vehicle. I just have more cause i dont leave em alone.
2005 TSX one alternator, three batteries, starter, air conditioning, compressor, exhaust three times, power windows switch, coil packs, brakes three times. GPS HVAC is currently on the fritz. I bought this car with 109,000 miles. It has 219,000 now, if anyone plans to buy one of these used, you will be fixing several things. Good luck.
Yeah man that age wear and tare, especially ones that haven’t been taken care of properly.
@@RishMedia Yup!! I have to replace the exhaust. My hvac gps has been quirky for a while. Now, all I see is “check your disc”. 🙄
The PCB or transistor on your radio that makes your car radio and climate control light up dims and goes dark, which leads the driver having problems adjusting the temp and change the radio due to them not being able to see the information on the radio or climate control section.
Hmm good to know! Have that issue a little bit on my white one with the dimming but not to much.
In the black on I just have issue adjusting the volume knob.
The delay valve is such a problem 🤣 I’m glad I wasn’t the only one feeling like that.
Ooof I felt dumb sometimes trynna drive the thing even removing the delay valve still feels like it slightly lol
The ac compressor and also the power steering pump leak are present on my 2007 tsx
The typical maintenance things! Easy fixes too!
I love my Acura TSX thank you for this video
Not a problem, they’re great cars!
@@RishMedia omg yes I'm planning on buying an SUV. But I came across your video by accident. I was looking on how to take off a door but found your other videos useful for the future lol thanks again
Can someone PLEASE assist me. I'm lost. I have an 05 tsx. It's now jerking and popping on the vsa light and the exclamation inside the triangle. I've changed the spark plugs, the starter, the brake sensor, and had the alternator checked.
The VSA issue is a tricky thing cause so many stuff seem to trigger that.
Look up about your abs module you can try to reset it with a certain procedure that’s on RUclips. Gotta jump pins I think 1 and 9 on your obd2 and press some bottoms in a certain sequence to get those to turn off.
Thanks for responding. I'll give that a try. Thank you!
@@arice4839 hope it helps some, best of luck!
@rish thank you!
@@RishMedia thanks. Even if it doesn't, it's a start in the right direction.
For me it’s been the VSA and triangle warning light and evap canister
Yeahh the VSA is a pita lol I don’t think I’ve bothered with it much half the time my dash is a Christmas tree😂
@@RishMedia yeah my 05 Aspec has the death triangle and check engine and vsa and 180k but she’s a champ
@@gotleche1894 yeah I’ve gone through it all some I don’t even bother cause them shits turn on Whenever 😂
I had the light pop after I had my CC stolen in Chicago. Once the new one was installed, the VSA and the triangle came on and never go away now.
My TSX is about to hit 250,000miles.
Ohhh mann!! Hell yeah dude!
Same still have it lmao
Gotta a rattle on cold starts, think it’s the vtc actuator
That could be a possibility also look into your timing chain tensioner hear that tends to rattle when it stretches
same here for my 2010 tsx, it just started since i dont have my garage in the garage anymore.
06 tsx owner here, how come my cluster doesn’t show a shifter display such as PRNDL or the Manual display
Like it doesn’t have it at all in it or doesn’t light up? If it’s not there at all maybe you have a manual cluster swapped which is odd.
Or the LED lighting on the cluster mother board fried
Hey 👋🏼 got a 07 mt6 …..did the a/c,power steering…..now it’s vsa triangle light almost no power from the engine 🤷🏻♂️
Vsa light doesn’t normally take away your power, need a scanner on that to check for any codes etc
@@RishMedia I’ll let you know code ….. every time it started without vsa warning ⚠️ it revs normally until vsa light turns on and it doesn’t go over 2k rpm 🤷🏻♂️
@@RishMedia ok so VSA codes 2601 and 2176 ……it’s says throttle body-throttle idle not learnt 🤷🏻♂️🥴wtf lol
my ps pump went out last feb, then my rack and pinion went out last october... then a week later my coils went out, then a week after that my knock sensor went out... lets just say i sold it and got a new crv haha not worth fixing it.
Most of those are easy and just overtime maintenance, the rack and pinion isn’t a fun job for sure though.
So I had one of these... badged as a Honda Accord Euro. Lost the alternator twice. Power steering hose had to be replaced as it was leaking. Back brake calipers at 150,000 km. Then the transmission went completely at 154000km. Know 3 other people that owned the same model. 2 of the 3 lost alternator and had complete transmission failure.
Yeah the alternators always seem to go with these quicker with aftermarket ones. Even then somethings the parts itself can be faulty.
I’m assuming you had a automatic? Cause those do seem to get more issues or bust on people the 6speeds have been pretty solid.
@@RishMedia yep was an auto cant remember how many gears was either 5 or 6
@@jamesanderson2921 what year was it?
@@alexomer9916 it was a 2007.
@@alexomer9916 it was a 2007.
2004 Tsx manual. changed the power steering pump but still leaking. What could be the issue? Also, the high-pressure hose is fairly new too.
Did you replace the O rings with new OEM ones? They had a recall at some point for being defective/leaking.
I just had that problem with the Bluetooth on my 06
Real annoyance draining batteries randomly
04 tsx.i have a problem with water on the passenger rear floor.heard it was a common problem and can’t find out where it comes from.
I had that issue with my first Tsx, make sure your door seals are fully pushed in and seated and no extra tears.
Then I’d also get an air compressor open your sunroof and blow air down the drains and see if it’s clogged up or not.
I have a 04 tsx and for some reason, it takes a while to start. I replaced alternator, battery. And still has issues.
Could be the starter giving some signs
Hi I have a 2007 tsx recently had a weak crank and then now it just won’t crank no more, when your trying to crank it all the lights on dash comes on radio everything works just no response I have change the starter and ignition switch still no progress. The battery is about 5 months old I’m not sure what else to look at next hope u can help me out thanks.
I’d say get your battery tested, also check your ground wires. Could also check the voltage coming from the alternator see if it’s charging proper.
Also can try to unplug the Bluetooth module it can be causing a drainage issue.
Everything you listed I've had issues with. Last thing on my to do list is my ac compressor, and my VSA light keeps popping up. The motor runs strong but everything around it seems to be an issue on these cars.
We got the best k series motor!! Along with bunch of weirdly common issues all around lmao fairly easy to work on for most stuff too which is nice.
Did you find out why your VSA light is on because I have done all 4 brakes and mine is still on!
It was the pedal position sensor for me
I bought a 2008 automatic TSX 2 years ago I got it with 150k had I until about 178k no problems at all until I got crashed into but other than that no problems at all
Atleast she treated ya well! 🙏🏻
the terrible bumper sag under the head lights over time !
Yuppp another notorious thing I’ve missed that ugly problem 😂
3:06 that happened to me the day I got the car on the driver side, then on the passenger side too about 3 months later.
Sheeeesh! Make sure to look over your parts!
I've got a 2012 tech pack tsx that I'm trying to track a draw from so hoping the hfl is the issue with mine...
Yeah check out if there’s a Bluetooth module causing it.
Or if any car alarm systems have been used previously
Am in Jamaica, currently running a 2004 cl7 euro r
Nicee!! Thanks for tuning in from Jamaica man!!
Is it worth buying a 2008 Acura Tsx 220k miles , inside is almost like brand new ? For 3k or less
If it’s manual hell yeah and AT too if it’s pretty clean and up kept. Engines go for awhile if maintained and if it ever goes can toss in a JDM one
I have the 2004 and sometimes when I start the car it won't ignite and turn it off and try again then it starts, sometimes it will start and when you try to raise the car it won't raise and will have to turn it off and start it again and it will raise. Please do you have any similar problem like this and what might be the cause? Thanks
Wdym by the raising car part? lost me there tbh, it could be numerous things. Any CEL, other kind of problems how many miles in the car, maybe a fuel cut/fuel pump issue but not sure.
Pretty much my experience with the 06 TSX 5AT w/ navi I had with +175,000 miles (totaled back in fall 2019:
- two alternators (local)
- A/C compressor (eBay)
- P/S pump (eBay)
- P/S rack (Amazon)
- hairline crack in radiator
- faulty condenser/radiator fans that didn't spin fast enough at city speeds, overheat issue
- replaced radiator cap
- replaced overflow reservoir coolant hose (sucking in air and air bubble in heater core causing no heat in winter)
- passenger upper control arm (HeelToe)
- rear camber kit (HeelToe, lower Aspec suspension)
- replaced snapped OEM endlinks (had Progress RSB, replaced with HeelToe Fastline adjustable endlinks from HeelToe)
Seems like a lot; but, the cost was spread across the 13 years of ownership (mostly after +125,000 miles). Everything else from bumper-to-bumper worked as new.
See that’s not to bad little hiccups buts that’s a big overtime period too seems like it was a pretty solid sucks the PS rack went some jobs are just annoying
I’m having the power steering leak issue, i can’t pin point where the leak is though. 🤦🏽♂️😒
My guess either the o rings of the lines to the pump, or one of the hard lines on the rack the flare can get a hairline crack.
