I had mid-2002 Acura Rsx brought MY to the dealer, since my AC is blowing stopped. They said it was my transistor. Of course they change the part and it worked only for about an hour and then it went back after not blowing. I could feel heat coming through the vents, whenever I walked fast. Anyway, I took a look to see him saying that if I ground the transistor AC-blowing, but it blows just flat out even when I turn it off. So I went from no blow by blow all the time. What can I do to fix this problem?
Sounds like the blower motor resistor is shot. Speeds low on the next to highest speed to run the power through a stepped resistance to control how much power the engine has available, regulates, that the speed of the fan. Set high, it has the full power out of the car on the electrical system (usually 12-13 volts). If the resistance is moved away, then all the lower speed range will not work. This could also have been the switch itself is damaged and may need to be replaced.

What is the best Audi car right now, next to the A5?
I'm looking to buy a new car, Audi, and everyone tells me I should Get the A5, but it is not available to our dealer network in December. but I want to get now, what would you says Audi car at the most? I want AWD or 4WD, and I have 4 people in my family, 4-5 seater would be best. Thank you
Now, I am like everyone else and say the A5 is the best. But, I know a dealer, I have heard nothing positive reviews, but from two camps. Http: / / valleymotors.com / But, if you were not willing to ship the car are, I recommend the A6. The A4 is a good car, but it is the size of a BMW 3-series, which is relatively small. The A6 comes with a wonderful base engine that has the power to a reasonable but if you have something you cut socks off, offering 4.2, additional 95HP. The optional Quattro drive is an extra $ 4,000, but it's definitely worth it. Not only when you snow or anything, it is also better for security. About 5 months I went to my dealer demo A6 for the night, and on the highway, a large bucket fell from a pickup truck. I was behind a BMW 525, it tries to avoid driving. Even with stability control, he almost causing a pile-span. Fortunately, because the demo had AWD, I easily shunned him. Seriously, without the purchase of an Audi AWD is like buying a hamburger without the bun. Good Luck

Volvo has long been associated with building safe cars, but as rivals roll out vehicles with more safety features, it becoming difficult for the Swedish automaker to stand out. This is why the automaker plans to carve the word ‘safety’ to its soul and to all of its products and wares so much so that it would be impossible to remove.
The Swedish automaker was an early safety leader, “And it still is showing leadership in some areas,” said Brian O’Neill, the former president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). “But it’s hard to even say who’s a leader anymore (because) there’s so much competition.”
Anne Belec, the CEO of Volvo Cars of North America, says safety is the “soul of our brand,” and the automaker, owned by Ford Motor, welcomes the competition. “Everyone else’s interest in safety all of a sudden elevated what we stand for,” she said. “We’ve never deviated from our core message of safety.”
Still, Volvo said last week that it is changing ad agencies to “move the brand forward” and “leverage… our rich heritage in safety.” It replaced the Euro RSCG with Arnold/Nitro. The first assignment will be campaigns for Volvo’s highest-volume models – new versions of the V70 station wagon and the XC70 crossover SUV.
Volvo sales were down by six percent in 2006. Belec said that the drop was not unexpected because the company sold out of the old version of its flagship S80 sedan – the new one went on sale in February – and the C70 coupe. Nonetheless, luxury rivals Lexus, Mercedes-Benz and BMW posted solid gains in 2006.
Volvo has tried to broaden its appeal beyond safety to performance, but it did not take. Although V-8 engines will still be offered, the performance-oriented “R” models are being phased out this summer. “Call it a brave attempt,” said former CEO Victor Doolan, who retired in 2005.
Belec noted that with the S40 small sedan, Volvo did a series of computer-simulated frontal crash tests without the engine installed. The engines were then designed to fit within the empty space that remained so the cars would have as much space to absorb crash forces as the larger S80 sedan.
Still, safety remains the primordial reason why aficionados stick to Volvo. In a February survey of luxury vehicles’ purchasers, safety was the attribute most often mentioned among Volvo’s “above-average” qualities. Below average in the poll by GfK America were traits including acceleration, distinctive looks and “fun to drive,” all of which Volvo had hoped would broaden its image.
“Our cars aren’t ugly boxes anymore, and we do offer V-8 performance, but in the end, we are about protecting people,” Volvo spokesman Dan Johnston said. “We’re rather proud of who we are and where we’re going.” Doolan added Volvo continues to emphasize safety, but the message may be getting lost. “The message is right, but I don’t think it has the frequency they need.”
Meanwhile, Honda has been aggressively pitching safety after announcing that it would eventually make a long list of safety features standard equipment on all of its models. By the end of 2006, all Honda and Acura Models except its two sports cars had side air bags, side-curtain air bags and anti-lock braking systems as standard equipment. All light trucks have stability control standard. Its cars and trucks have front ends designed to minimize injury to pedestrians and to prevent taller vehicles from riding over smaller ones.
The Japanese automaker said it is not trying to usurp Volvo’s image. “Competitors always look at one another’s ads, and in developing our ‘Safety for Everyone’ advertising, we did not study any one manufacturer more than any other,” Honda spokesman Jeffrey Smith said.
Volvo can make the same claims as Honda and was, in fact, the first automaker to install both side and curtain air bags. “I think it’s going to be very difficult in the short term to take the safety crown away (from Volvo) because it’s so well entrenched and the perception is so strong,” Doolan said. But, “It shouldn’t be taken for granted.”
“There’s no question its part of their culture, and I think it always has been,” O’Neill said. “Volvo clearly has some good safety technology, and Volvo and Saab have the best whiplash prevention. It’s something the Swedes took more seriously than the rest of the world.”
Fredrik Arp, the CEO of Volvo Cars in Sweden, said that the safety of its vehicles goes beyond equipment. It is built into the cars. How people are injured in crashes is factored into every aspect of design, he says. “Seven air bags is not really what we’re talking about.”
Carl Nash, one of the founders of the Goleta, Calif.-based Center for Injury Research, said that the Volvo XC90 SUV did better than any of the dozens of other vehicles the group has tested for roof strength in rollover crashes. “Philosophically, the (Volvo) engineers asked the question, ‘How do people get injured in rollovers?,’” said Nash, an auto safety professor at the George Washington University.
In the industry where most vehicles get high scores in the crash tests because they are equipped with the latest safety technology, the Swedish automaker should concentrate on every auto part, not just on the Volvo fan clutch. “There’s no reason that we can’t stand for something beyond safety,” Johnston said. “That’s an ongoing project that will take awhile. But our core is still safety.”

I know some domestic traders will look at tires, but I have seen that some not. So, no Acura Dealer service bays dealing with tires, or is it different from dealership to dealership. I really do not want to make it to a place of not only tires (like Fountain Tire), too many young kids who do not know what to do its work in these places. I would much rather have an Acura Certified Technician, the Making work. I need two punctures sealed, and all four are turned.
Each dealer is equipped to repair tires. It is not unusual bring to a customer a car with a tire related problem under warranty and they are certainly not to send them elsewhere. Be prepared, perhaps spending to $ 100 for a job that will most shops for tires make less than $ 50. Think is the Accura dealer not at his best suspension have, and handling specialist fixing your tires, it is likely to be carried out in the workshop, from most junior guy probably the one that the oil and sweeps. There are thousands of tire shops that have qualified technicians to work on the tires, perhaps even more of them as merchants. Most importantly, it presented to observe someone else Wheel and ask how they are doing to repair website. If you do not see them pulling the wheel nuts by hand using a torque wrench to run, not walk, to another business. A good business takes off the tire and vulcanizing a patch over the hole from the inside. If they say they would a plug that's not installing a load to deal with.
Staten Island New Lexus Dealers Happy With #1 Customer Service Rating
There has been a lot of commotion about the recent recalls enacted by Toyota. And rightfully so: the apparent brake problems with the Japanese manufacturer’s market-leading vehicle, the Toyota Prius, have led to some serious injuries – even, in some cases, deaths. The consequences of this transgression have come at a time when the automotive industry is finally beginning to gain back some of the brand loyalty and customer trust that it lost during the recession, the collapse of the Big Three and the subsequent bailout ordered by the U.S. government. Just as faith is beginning to be restored, an industry leader comes out of nowhere and knocks us back into the Stone Age.
However, while Toyota fights its battle, its high-end sibling is bringing some positive spin back to the auto market. Staten Island new Lexus drivers are confident that the transgressions purported by Toyota will not extend to their brand, a name held high in the opinions of many luxury car drivers. And consumers aren’t the only ones recognizing the quality that Lexus seems to serve up year after year; the media is getting in on the action, especially after J.D. Power and Associates named Lexus the top-ranked luxury brand and the number one brand overall in customer service in the organization’s annual Customer Service Index Study (CSI). The results of the study are expected to reflect well on Staten Island RX dealers across the area.
Much to the excitement of Staten Island Lexus RX hybrid drivers, this study was performed by one of the highest respected organizations in the industry. According to J.D. Power, the study combines the satisfaction levels of car owners visiting service departments for maintenance or repair with dealer performance over the first three years of ownership. While much of the study reflects directly upon Staten Island new Lexus dealerships, this is a huge win for the Lexus brand itself. The study was completed with the following five categories in mind: “service quality, service initiation, service advisor, service facility and vehicle pick-up.”
The announcement specifically points to Lexus’ dependability, saying, “Lexus ranks highest in customer satisfaction with dealer service among luxury brands and receives an award for a second consecutive year. Lexus achieves an overall CSI score of 837 on a 1,000-point scale and performs particularly well in four of the five measures: service quality; service initiation; service advisor; and service facility. Rounding out the top five nameplates in the premium segment are Cadillac (827), Jaguar (822), Acura (817) and BMW (816).”
Staten Island RX drivers have known for a long time that Lexus offers some of the best service on the market. Couple that with a serious approach to new engine technology and a reputation for dependability (especially in direct competition with other high-quality luxury brands), and you will see why Lexus has built such a high brand loyalty over the last several years. When you visit a Staten Island Lexus RX hybrid dealership, you’re going to get a taste of what manufacturers all across the globe should be doing to improve their images.

MDX is the Blue Tooth connection described by the person Acura work for the year 2005?
I have a 2005 MDX and realized I never got a manual, but only the quickie book. I called the dealer and get the one they want to sell me for $ 60. Not in the budget right now.
My uncle has MDX Bluetooth. He makes phone calls over the Bluetooth in his car. Your car should have it. All recent 2002-2008 Acura's, that I had been in Bluetooth.
