I have searched through NL for the above named car brand but I am yet to find any. If you own the Acura product ranging from the sedan to the SUV like MDX,RDX, and ZDX this place should be for us to meet and share ideas. Starting with myself I want to love-vendor my 2001 Acura MDX with some new car accessories ranging from the sound system, to adding DVD and camera to it. Also there's need for me to change the headlamp of the SUV, I need information regarding the price of a new headlamp (MDX) if it comes as a glass instead of plastic it will be well appreciated. Will be uploading the pictures of the type of car.

The cost of repainting the SUV too, I am based in the South East Region, will appreciate an Auto centre in Enugu or Awka preferably. There's also some icon that appear on the dash board which need to be wiped out, though it doesn't affect the performance of the car. I also want dealers of genuine brake pads. I have been hearing some funny sound from the back tyre of the passenger side since I changed the brake pad, I have been to my mechanic, he said the caliper is bad I have changed it but the sound persist when u put a new brake pad.
I need a competent hand that can change the car CD for me,(6CD LOADER) the one there has spoilt and the price of a new sound system.

There's a continuous noise at the rear tyre of my 2001 Acura MDX, ( RHS) . I have been changing different brake pads but the noise persists, the other three wheels are fine except that one. I am wondering if the fault is from the brake disc. If you have any knowledge on what could be wrong

Caliper.

Caliper.

The caliper has been changed before. But there are lines in some section of the brake disc, some other section of it are not uniform. My mechanic is saying the brake disc is the faulty part

If the groves are well pronounced, replace it, if not, smoothen with sand paper.

Took it to the mechanic today, it was smoothen with abrasive paper, I even bought a new brake pad to make it look even. The noise I heard while driving home is really crazy, a continuous noise that if you pass or try to press the brake, people will turn to look in your direction.

2moro I will change the brake disc and observe its movement.

Get an original brake pad. Substandard brake pad causes those grooves you see

Bros not my fault, I have been coping with the noise for over two years now.
The noise has stopped for now.
That's a huge relief for me.

Good Evening Bros, please I would like to know the fuel consumption rate of your 2001 Acura, would it possibly be the same for the 2003 Acura MDX also, considering purchasing one. And can you state amount of fuel you buy to get you car through a week's usage. Anticipating your reply, Thanks

In Terms Of The Music Quality The 2003 Mdx Is More Twished Than The 2001.Is Filled With More Buttons For You To Play With,the Cabin Space Is Slightiy Smaller Than To The 2001 Bt Can Only Be Noticed In Close Observation. Myself Prefer The 2nd Generation MDX To The 1st.

I was washing my 2007 Acura RDX sunday evening,after washing the dashboard I noticed that the DRL(Day running light) started blinking continuously, mind you the ignition was off before it started. I started the car the wiper began the swinging continuously with water coming out from the vent in the bonnet. I also noticed that my audio system wasn't displaying again. The screen was totally blank. I switched off the ignition, to allow the water dry off in case it may have entered a place is not supposed to. The DRL kept flashing so I had to remove one head of the battery to avoid the battery getting drained. When I finished my washing, I put the battery head back, the wiper has corrected because it didn't swing like before, but of the DRL kept flashing on. The display screen of the audio still blank. But the car revs without any problem. I am asking if this could be connected to some fuse malfunction? When the ignition is ON, no icon appears on the dashboard screen indicating that something is wrong. Could it be that the audio system not displaying is connected to some water that still not dried up completely?
