  1. Third Generation MDX (2014-2020)
    I was in for a routine service at 60k miles (oil change, tires, etc.) for my 2017 MDX and the rep suggested i do the timing belt, plugs and a few other things at a cost of $3500 for the service. I'm used to timing belt changes around 100k. Has anyone had this same experience and is this a...

    Acura MDX 2012 miles: 145k Acura service is quoiting $2430 to fix "Oil pump housing seal is leaking" but they said it will reduce to 1200 if I get "Timing belt replaced" for $1400. So, I am now looking at$2600. Does this cost look okay ?

    Hello All, So I had a leaking water pump on my 07 MDX, so I decided to replace it myself this weekend, and I'm running into an issue. The new timing belt and the old timing belt doesn't seem long enough. I even went and purchased another timing belt from AutoZone and still can't seem to get it...

    Hey folks, hope everyone’s safe. I don't know if the subject has been opened before, I did a few searches but couldn't find any results. I have a 2010 Acura MDX SH-AWD and it's at 161k miles. About a month ago, when the weather started to get cold, a sound began to be heard like a Duck sound at...

    I went to curry acura for the timing belt (I know there’s no kit) I went and I ask the guy in the parts dept that looks like a 2022 younger Adam Sandler . Hey can you get me all the parts I need to change my timing belt . He gave me the two belts and the water pump and 2 gallons of type two...

    I bought a beautifully maintained 2006 MDX in December. Feb. 1st it died on the road. I had it towed to the only repair shop in town and they've now informed me that it had a bad timing belt and the engine will now need to be replaced. They also said " on comparison to the value of the vehicle-...

    I bought a 2006 MDX with 130,000 miles a few years ago for my vacation house vehicle. Considering giving it to my daughter. There is no evidence of the timing belt ever being replaced and the compressor just went out. I can't do the repairs myself. It would be fixed in the Austin area. Estimate...

    I have a 2007 mdx with 141000, timing belt broke and i believe i have a bent valve on the back head, good compression on all other cylinders. Is it best to take the rear exhaust manifold with the head or is it possible to separate it from the head while in the car. The strange thing is,is their...

    I could use some help. 2010 Acura MDX 170k. I replaced timing belt and water pump at 110k. The car mostly sat the last couple of years due to having a company vehicle. It may have had the noise when parked. No noise in park or neutral. No noise when coasting at speed or braking. only...

    I have a 2006 Touring I bought a couple of years ago with 130,000 miles. Began to wonder about the timing belt. It was one owner who based on the CarFax did an outstanding job with all maintenance, 100% done by dealers. At 108,000 miles 6 years ago, a dealer reported doing all the required...

    Below is the detailed write-up for my successful timing belt replacement plus a few other scope items. Any "SM" notations refer to the service manual pages for the corresponding step. I watched many videos. Here was one of the best: Admittedly, I had very little experience before doing...

    Hi All, Long time lurker, I've found this community so great to get DIY information. I've been able to tackle a number of first time jobs myself: valve adjustment, new alternator, new radiator, compressor clutch, serpentine belt, idle tensioner, throttle position sensor, brake pads, rotors...

    I recently posted at thread but I think I may not have posted it in the right place so I apologize for the repeat post. I changed my timing belt and now my rear cam is off about a tooth (see picture). Is this ok? Or do I have to remove the belt and manually turn the cam clockwise to make sure...

    I recently replaced my timing belt on my 2014 MDX. Once I pulled the pin on the tensioner, I noticed the rear cam mark off by 1 tooth (counter clockwise). My thoughts are that while installing the belt, the cam skipped a tooth and I did not notice it until after the fact. Should I remove the...
