Great content Duy!!! Keep up the amazing videos! What was the total time for this project?

[@DIYwithDUY]

Thanks for the encouragement. It took me about 20 hours, but that was me recording the process. It takes much longer for me to do repairs when I have to move the camera around and re-record things if the camera angle is not correct. I took my time over the course of 3 days.

About how many miles should I be looking at to change the timing belt?

[@DIYwithDUY]

I aim for around 100k mile intervals. We have 214k miles on our Acura ZDX. The first timing belt was done at 114k miles. Second timing belt done at 214k miles. I will change the timing belt again when we get close to 314k miles.

Great job Duy! I don’t think I would be that lucky with the exhaust bolts 😂 How/where did you noticed the oil leak from the oil pump O-ring? Danny

[@DIYwithDUY]

I had oil around the drain plug. I changed out the drain plug crush washer and still noticed oil on the bolt. The oil from the oil pump o ring slowly drip down to the drain bolt.

Okay thanks Duy, I’ll have a look when I do my timing belt replacement soon 👍🏼

[@DIYwithDUY]

@@Danny-pk9ht Let me know if you run into any issues. Make sure you do not accidentally rotate the cam gears when the belt is off.

[@Danny-pk9ht]

Thanks Duy, this is my biggest concern. I’ll make sure everything is aligned as it should.

Hey Duy, have you ever replaced the driver side blower actuator motor before on the 2010 ZDX? Air power coming out of the drivers side is very low compared to the passenger side. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

[@DIYwithDUY]

Hi, I have not replaced the driver side blower actuator. The things I have replaced regarding our Acura ZDX A/C is the blower motor under the glove box, a/c resistor under the glove box, A/C relay under the engine hood, A/C fuse under the steering wheel, and A/C compressor. I think you are right. If AC is cold, I would replace the blend door/air mix motor actuator for the driver side. If that doesn’t work, maybe replacing the radio/navigation/A/C control panel. If it was me, I would replace the cheaper blend door/air mix motor first.
