I'm looking at buying a 2001 CL, while doing some research I came upon some troublespots:



Battery: The fan(s) for the radiator and/or air-conditioning condenser may run continuously and kill the battery. Both fan relays require replacement. (2001)


Clutch: The clutch master cylinder may leak into the passenger compartment and should be replaced. (2001)


Engine stalling: Vehicle may stall or be hard to start after sitting 15-20 minutes, especially during warm spells in colder weather where winter-blended fuel is sold. Replacing the fuel-pressure regulator and powertrain computer should fix it. (2001)


Oil leak: Oil leaks due to aluminum-engine porosity require patching and/or installation of special sealing bolts for the timing-belt adjuster pulley, motor-mount bracket, and transmission-mounting bolts. (2001-02)


Windshield washer: The tubing for the windshield washers deteriorates, causing wiper smearing. The tubing and wipers require replacement. (2001)





I was wondering if anyone with an 01 CL experienced any of these problems and would you still buy one?

 

im trying to get info on a 2003 CL before my daughter buys one are these cars any good how has your expericence been so far with the 2001

 

I have a 2003 CL 3.2 with 70,000 miles and so far only had to change the oil and tires..I love the car.Its an awesome ride, nice and smooth.The stereo sounds great and the interior is amazing as well..Very affordable luxury type coupe..

 

Bump. As far as I know, these oil leaks was caused by porous engine blocks. It supposed to apply to 2001-02 CL's, 1999-02 TL's and 2001-02 MDX's.
