2007 Acura tl 3.2 110000 miles engine makes a clicking noise when idling& driving I'll done the oil change and transmission flush but still haerd the clicking

At 110000 miles it could be:
1. the serpentine belt or one of the idler pulleys
2. the water pump
3. the timing belt or one of its idler pulleys
4. to a lesser extent, the power steering pump
5. a valve lifter
Here is a video showing what is on the front of the engine
You may want to get a mechanics stethoscope and carefully start trying to pinpoint the noise [keep fingers far away from belts and pulleys, I know 3 people that lost finger tips this way].

Does the 2008 Acura TL have a timing chain or belt?

All the Acura motors listed in my book show a chain. The water pumps are driven by a serpentine belt. Water pumps only need changing when they leak out of the drain ho0le underneath or become noisy from failing bearings.

What does the sevice code B5 mean on an acura tl?

B is an oil and filter change, with visual inspection under the car. 5 is a coolant change. If you had your timing belt done in the last few years, they probably replaced your water pump and coolant, so it would still be good. Most coolants, including Acura's, are good for 5 years. (the original coolant that came with your car was good for 10 years)

How to locate the thermostat for a 2003 acura 3.2 tls

http://www.oemacuraparts.com/auto-parts/2003/acura/tl/engine/water-pump-sensor/?trim=type-s&engine=5-speed-automatic Its located in the water pump housing. When you do a timing belt job is the time to change it, or vise versa. Its a bigger job so when one goes out its time to do the other.

How much should it cost to replace a timing belt in a 2004 acura tl? Also mechanic says to replace water pump, and other thing while back there. Is that neccasry?

I just had my 2004 TL's timing belt replaced in Jan 2010 by the dealer and the total repair for belt, water pump and all other normally suggested parts came to $859.90. My car had 139,990 miles and the work was done at the Acura dealer in Jacksonville Florida.

My car has 134000 miles, last year we change the water pump and timing belt. what should I dot this year

Would not hurt to change the transmission fluid and filter. Run a can of good injector cleaner in your gas.
You did real well with the timing belt and water pump.
The serpentine belt should be replaced.

Should I replace the timing belt & water pump at the 90k for my 2005 acura tl

Yes it would be a very good idea to change them all at once. You can't go wrong there because most timing belts and water pumps go out around 90-100,000 miles. Go for it I would.

Good Luck!
