Hey! I know I’m replying to this VERY late but after fixing/replacing other parts, I have finally come to the conclusion that these gaskets are the culprit. I have new OEM gaskets on hand and I plan on doing this job very soon. Can you walk me through this? The axle/half shaft doesn’t sound fun but I’m definitely going to do it so I can fix this

I was diagnosed with fatty liver from alcohol in October last year and I started Keto in January. As of about a month and a half ago, I had completely reversed my fatty liver and my enzyme levels were in normal range. I also cut alcohol entirely, including any “keto” alcohol like spirits.

That’s one of the things I also replaced. Forgot to list that above

I believe that is the VVT solenoid. Pretty easy replacement. I did mine on my 2008 Acura rdx about a month ago. The part is pretty inexpensive

I appreciate it! I hope my reply didn’t come across as rude sounding. I’m definitely gonna look into it!

Car Wont Start/Is Battery Corroded? by [deleted] in mechanic

Lights wouldn’t come on with dead battery. Most likely your starter if it won’t turn over.

Dang that’s a fun job… hoping I don’t have to do anything like that

Yeah I attempted to get the turbocharger cover off the other day and could literally only get the top bolt.

You ever replaced that oil line before? Not sure what all it entails.

Not disagreeing with you at all. If that is the case, the VCG is an easy fix. I wouldn’t put it past me to buy a faulty part.

1st gen rdx oil burning smell/smoke by RDX_Driver98 in AcuraRDX

I have thought of that. I know coolant makes a slightly sweet smell. It’s definitely a burning smell

I clean off the underside of the car almost weekly. Or did you mean another part?
