[@AlxandEr29]

Silence speaks volume 🎉 . 2024 an I needed this vid thank you

[@nsbzel5957]

Doing mines next , very informative without saying a word... 💯 Thank You you got yourself a subscriber

[@tehpanuychikon168]

Nice video.Now i know how to do it! Thank You. By the way,more videos on Acura TL maintenance and trouble shooting would be great. 👍

[@medinamccord3565]

One of the BEST tutorials I’ve seen on KZbin. Thanks for the help.

[@maded72]

Thanks for the video nice and easy.

[@ultramanxk7]

Straight to the point vid!

[@SugarTasters]

I would charge $120 too! Out of all the Acura’s I have owned, the 2006 TL was just a booger to change the air filter. Ugh. Great tutorial too, I have used it several times bc I didn’t want to screw anything up or break smthg. Thanks!

[@richardmckissick4471]

Good video precisely to the point without any bull shit waste of time talking!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@iamrichrocker]

might be easier to swap transmissions FFS..thank you for your detailed and quiet way you demonstrated it...but seriously Acura wtf is this so buried and half to almost take off 1/4 of the lower dash..and if not careful i suspect some of the plastics will break off..great tutorial..appreciate the time and effort..i think most of the nay votes were aimed at Acura with the same feelings i have..

[@mrjason9382]

Thanks for shareing

[@akwitny]

Sweet video...lot of other places are very misleading. I unhooked the dampener and got the glovebox dropped and didn't see anything...didn't realize you had to take it completely out. THANKS!

[@EmperorTokugawa]

Thank you for not wasting my time giving me a lecture on what a car is and what a screw driver is and screw is and what air is and what a filter is and what an air filter is and why I need it. etc etc. PLUS you saved me about $80. Great job, baby hands.

[@TheBrownSugaBabe]

🤭🤭🤭🤭

[@adeoluwafemi]

Lol @ baby hands

[@DJ-pm8vv]

Straight to the point with no useless chatter! Well done!

[@TheBrownSugaBabe]

Okay this tutorial was bomb. He got right to the point!!! Changing mine this weekend.

[@richa1377]

Exactly.....easy to follow video...i plan on doing the same

[@Aaron_Schulman]

Thank you. This was very helpful and I did not have to take the screws out. It took less than 5 minutes and no doubt the dealer would have charged $75 for an hour of labor.

[@vincentpartica4385]

Great tutorial! No screwing around. Got straight to the point.

[@hopehall1]

My local honda dealership (no acura in town) wanted to cut a hole in my glove box instead of doing this the right way. I told them no thanks. Thanks SO MUCH for uploading this video. I'll be able to do this on my own, save a ton of money, and not get my car jacked up by ignorance.

[@payperclickhouston]

Easy there buddy...that's an Acura. This video was great. Thanks for the time.

[@Lucidity337]

I just replaced mine. Took about 15-20 minutes. Thanks again for the video on how to do it.

[@adsoldschool]

Thank you very much! Just did my 06 TL, took under 10 mins. The filter cost me under $20 and I saved about $100 doing it myself.

[@HeidiPoodle]

I love the internet. I love KZbin. And more importantly, I love YOU man! Thanks a heap. Acura cab filter replacement is 10 times more difficult than on our 2006 Cadillac DTS or on my 2000 BMW 528i. Those required only: (1) open filter door; (2) remove filter; (3) insert new filter; (4) close door. If this seems easy to the Mazda guy, I'll never attempt to change a Mazda cab filter. ;o) Now I know why dealer showed me someone else's filter. Yes, I caught him. No surprise, really. THANK YOU!!

[@timb2478]

huge help, thanks for making the video, it is amazing the dealer charges $120 for this...

[@azzianeyezz]

Thank you sooo much for the video. I had no clue how to replace it and you made it simple so anyone can do it. Was able to do it on my own. Thanks again!!

[@readynow12345]

Wow my 05 rl is in the same exact spot, but all I have to do is take out the upper part in the glove box, it's where the car manual is, it just pops right out no screws so fucking easy, I guess that's why it cost more money for the car

[@TheBrownSugaBabe]

I changed mine this weekend and it was super uber easy!

[@RandyHance]

Super quick and easy to follow. My TLS air quality thanks u.

[@juanpalma2610]

Fuck ya straight to the point doing mys this weekend thanks a lot

[@Towfoo]

Thanks for the great video. It's always easier to do something like this after watching a video opposed to reading instructions with no form of visualization

[@christianbatista5601]

That was Ez thank

[@rooskydo]

Wonderful! Thank you. I didn't have to take out the under-dash cover to get the glove box out. Also, I found it difficult to reinsert the glove box with the glove box cover on because it was so awkward. I removed the glove box cover (only 2 screws) before reinserting the box which made it much easier.

[@ichyowie]

You just saved me $120, got a filter for $20 and can do it myself, dealer was charging me $140. THANKS BUD!

[@irenekrempely685]

thanks dude u just saved me 75.00!

[@johnathanflorez3865]

Mine was slightly different from this I dont have the 2 screws and the back bottom tray it's just smooth there with no holes and the whole thing pops off its weird

[@GardenOFire]

Luckily honda and acura have the sense to make these somewhat easy to change.....try puttin one in a mazda 3 or any of the new style beetles....its like a jigsaw puzzle that ya end up not wantin to finish.....good video will save a lot of people money for something that is fairly simple.

[@Lucidity337]

Looks really simple. I'm going to do this today. Thanks so much for the video.

[@josemunoz8452]

Love people like this. They just go straight to it. Simple as that. Thank you for your video. 🙏🏽

[@sgstyle65]

This video worked great got my filter replaced with little effort. Just by looking at my glovebox I had no idea how to get to it. Thanks for this video!

[@ferrari4sale]

Can you do more video about regular maintains for the Acura TL. E,g. Oil change, transmission change, air filter, cabin filter, adding Seafoam, ect. It's very useful video.

[@johnpowell2486]

Thank you so much!!! I have a 2008 and I wouldn't have changed this had it not been for your easy to follow video!! You just helped me save a bunch of money!! Thanks again!

[@mrjason9382]

Nice

[@iandizion7134]

Thanks for this, just had to change mine today. Thing was filthy, had pollen, pine needles and everything else up in there.

[@thomasamsel8912]

NICE!!!

[@Jedi_Luke]

Nice and clear, to the point. thumbs up!

[@mrbhappy448]

Very helpful. What a pain to have to go through all that. I might consider cutting the hole to make future replacement easier. Those snap clips never go back as well.

[@deepen2011]

did it.. but broke the trunk-main switch.. it's fixable.. the red switch part just popped out.. i'll reinstall it later. thanks for the video though.. took me 10 minutes. literally.

[@marioalbornoz1513]

Very simple to do after watching this tutorial. I changed the filter. It was very dirty. Hopefully my allergies will get better since I spend so much time in my car.

[@mraurora]

@mntodc Depends on your driving conditions. If you're often driving through dusty conditions, then more often. I live in suburbia, with a fair amount of highway time... I change mine every 6 months or so. Maybe once a year. Think of it like your air filter at home. How often do you change it?

[@23mathised]

Video great! Filter design placement bad! Thank for the help!

[@jwheezy231]

@01sachem Mines a 04 as well. There were not those extra screws on the inside and I just pried the plastic tabs out with a screwdriver from the inside and took them out. They popped right back into place when I was putting it back together.

[@surething412]

I got it done. Thanks for the DIY video.

[@YouArentPro]

Just changed the CAF on my 04 TL. THANK YOU! :)

[@tomezeus7377]

Hey....thanks very much for posting this! Pretty simple once you have the roadmap.

[@mntodc]

How often does this filter need to be replaced? I have had my 04 TL since it was new, and the dealer has never mentioned it.

[@MrRageHumor]

Nate Hill every 30k miles

[@mraurora]

Thanks so much for this... though it seems like a pain in the ass in comparison to my 05 Accord's process!

[@HienBuiMobile]

looks good, imma change mines our right now

[@mjmac74]

Seriously the best tutorial video ever!!!

[@christianst-laurent7551]

mjmac74 damn right, this just made my day. Not alone in this world

[@davepritchett]

He talks to much... lol

[@workingtheworld68]

Actually cutting a hold in the panel behind the glove box (if done correctly and cleanly) is the best long term solution. It saves you having to pull the panel out and replace each time which is the hardest part of the job. Those snap clips will break eventually.

[@linvalt5856]

This is true one of my snap clips have already broken.

[@johnpowell2486]

Mine broke also. :(

[@memegamer1624]

Me and my dad appreciate it

[@asitmc]

dang could they have made it any more complex for a darn air filter? usually pop the glove box out and it's there, but this one requires a little more work i guess. off i go to try.

[@Yashiro-nene_dies]

Wonder why my delaer said I need to replace 2 of my cabin filters

[@mrc79]

Ugh I just gashed the shit out of my finger taking the gray part out when you pull from the left. Bull shit !!! I work with Covid patients too. Not going to be fun covering this up.

[@PfeifJarobi]

The 2004 is a little bit different. The 2005-2008 are like the video.

[@linvalt5856]

You forgot to reconnect the cable with the blue connector to the black connector on the left side of the glove box.. It is for the valet trunk disable switch.

[@tee2171]

I broke this accidentally. Do i really need it?

[@acuratlaspec06]

Great video, just changed mine. Thanks :)

[@Civek559]

Will this help solve my a/c dosent blow hard enough problem?

[@gsheverything_2716]

Antone Dostred clean the EVAP with air conditioner cleaner

[@jaykrueger2059]

Appreciate the help!

[@bahena554]

OK worked like a charm thanks

[@eljeffe8806]

It's OK to narrate a little!!

[@TurboGSR96]

just sold my TSX to get a TL, my god was that so much easier then this, no tools requires takes 1min to do.

[@ekeli-gh7yz]

Thanks for this vid brotha.

[@4drturbo85]

07-08 TL-S has a different lower plastic piece.

[@LoveSonjaXD]

Thank you for the helpful video! :)

[@bluesboytyler]

Acura just made it this difficult so you wouldn't try it yourself, and you would take it to them so they could steal $100 from you

[@biologist333]

wish i watched this before i took it to the dealership and paid $35

[@chachi_luna]

Nice commentary

[@gdia7197]

Holy crap all that for a cabin filter??? Great video though...

[@corita333]

Thank you

[@HoMiE327]

Comparing this to my 6gen accord this looked easier to do

[@Celestion321]

I can hear the MUNI train in the background. Lol

[@marlonmitchell1682]

Thanks!!

[@jeffreyjones7529]

Like a boss!

[@slavazaritsky1157]

Thank you so much.

[@jwheezy231]

Bout to go outside n do this right now! burr

[@sbrll]

I have a 2004 and thee are no screws nor pop-out retainers as shown in this video. Also, the side retainers require removal before the glove box can be rotated down. This video may be okay for later years, but not for 2004 TL.

[@JayGaming360]

I have an 2004 TL. Mine looks exactly like the one in the video.

[@HumbledGod]

what a pain in the ass to get to lol

[@drewstevens5699]

Legit

[@davidmendezkelly]

Dvade

[@akwitny]

Sweet video...lot of other places are very misleading. I unhooked the dampener and got the glovebox dropped and didn't see anything...didn't realize you had to take it completely out. THANKS!

Thanks !!
