If it has the v-6, it has a belt. These are interference engines and if the belt brakes it will most likely bend some valves at minimum.

How do you remove jammed Cds from your 2003 Acura CL?

if it comes out just a little bit, gently tap DOWNWARD on the little bit that's sticking out, it should start to come out enough for you to grip it with your finger tips and gently pull straight away from the mechanism. I've found that older, slightly thicker cds will not jam, but some of the new ones coming out are ever so slightly thinner and have this problem :(

Where does the transmition fluid go on a cl 3.0 1999?

The transmission is a sealed system, if you're having to add fluid it means you have a leak. the 1999 CLs are notorious for transmission problems, get it to a transmission place asap. I had to have my transmission rebuilt, hopefully yours just needs a minor repair.

How to replace the window regulator of Acura CL?

This is only a quick general description. The door panel must be removed. There is a plug in door panel up top right or left depending on what side you are working on that must be removed. Also in the top handle there is a screw behind a small cover for the door upper handle, remove it. The whole black plastic behind the upper handle needs to get pulled out. Next take off the bolts for the handle itself so it moves. There are 2 screws in the lower handle both have covers, remove them too. Carefully pop the panels in the lower part of the door working your way around. Next take off the black plastic side view mirror cover. Next remove the panel by working it up and out of its track. There will be plastic barrier on the door that must be removed to access the bolts. Un-clip all wires from the panel. You will at some point need to plug back in the window switch to move the widow to the point of accessing the bolt on the track that needs a ratchet to get to. Now you should be able to see 2 bolts holding the window on the track and I believe 3 or 4 that hold the motor in place. Pay close attention to how its in at this point, you will need to pull it all out but don't forget mounting points. The window will need adjustment with the new track in place so make sure you do the alignment before putting the panel back on.

Why did the power seat quit working on my acura 2001-3.2 cl?

Because everything has a lifespan. Or maybe it's a fuse.

How much will it cost to replace timing belt on 2001 Acura CL?

Your most likely looking at around $500 (more at the dealer). Most mechanics will also replace your water pump when they do a timing belt job. This is a good idea because the pump is in the same area they are working in, and if your belt needs to be replaced you water pump is likely to be due for replacement too. So you should be able to get your timing belt and water pump replaced for around this price. Most of this cost is labor.

Where is the thermostat on an Acura CL?

The thermostat housing is located on the intake manifold at the end of the upper radiator hose. It has 2 bolts attaching the housing to the manifold. When you remove the upper radiator hose, the 2 housing bolts, and the housing, you will see the thermostat.

Not correct in all cases. On our 97 2.2 CL the tstat is at the end of the LOWER radiator hose. This is toward the rear of the engine compartment and one must disconnect the air plenum to get at the tstat housing bolts. There are plenty of wires in various harnesses to be held down and away to get the lower bolt out.
