Acura Spare Parts in UAE: Replacement Prices for MDX, RDX, TLX and Integra

September 29, 2026

Acura spare parts in UAE are a slightly different buying problem from Honda parts, and pretending otherwise is how owners end up comparing the wrong component, the wrong specification and sometimes the wrong generation.

The reason is straightforward: Acura does not currently have a normal new-car retail network in the UAE. A current UAE market reference lists MDX, RDX and TLX as not officially sold locally and says there are no official Acura dealerships currently listed in the country, while Acura's own current dealer and parts infrastructure is centred on its established overseas markets. 

Yet Acura vehicles are here. MDX, RDX, TLX and Integra owners still need brake parts, suspension components, cooling parts, sensors, body panels, transmissions and electrical components. Specialist UAE garages advertise servicing for all four models, and UAE parts marketplaces carry Acura-compatible components. 

So the real question is not simply “How much are Acura spare parts in UAE?”

It is which Acura, which generation, which engine, which drivetrain, which part number, and which supply route?

That distinction can move a quotation by hundreds or thousands of dirhams.

Acura parts in the UAE require a different sourcing approach

For a mainstream locally supported vehicle, you can often walk into a franchised parts counter and order by registration details.

With an Acura, the process is more likely to involve a specialist supplier, an imported-parts channel, a Honda/Acura cross-reference, a US-market catalogue or a used-parts network.

That does not automatically make the part expensive.

It does make correct identification more important.

There is no honest single “Acura parts price”

An MDX brake disc and an MDX Type S suspension component have very little in common from a pricing perspective.

Nor should an RDX 2.0 turbo part be assumed to fit a first-generation RDX simply because both cars carry the same badge.

Acura has changed engines, transmissions, chassis and electronic systems substantially across generations.

What current UAE public listings actually show

The UAE market does have Acura-specific listings, but the public price evidence is uneven.

For example, one UAE marketplace currently lists a Centric front brake disc for a 2008 Acura MDX at AED 477.48, while a rear disc listing is shown for a 2016 Acura TLX SH-AWD at AED 147.66 in the same catalogue. Those are individual aftermarket listings, not complete axle prices and certainly not universal Acura prices. 

That is exactly why broad “Acura spare parts cost AED X–Y” articles can become misleading.

A second useful UAE price example is the MDX gearbox repair route

A UAE gearbox supplier currently lists a 9HP48 repair kit at AED 350 and specifically identifies Acura MDX applications from 2016–2020 with the 3.5-litre engine. 

That is interesting because it changes the repair question.

A gearbox fault does not automatically mean buying a complete replacement gearbox.

Sometimes the sensible starting point is diagnosis and repair.

Acura parts are often hiding behind Honda references

This is one of the more useful things for UAE buyers to understand.

Acura is Honda's luxury/performance marque, and certain components share engineering relationships with Honda models.

But cross-reference does not mean universal interchangeability.

A current Acura used-OEM catalogue, for example, identifies first-generation MDX relationships with the Honda Pilot and second-generation MDX relationships with the later Pilot, while also warning that later Acura-specific platforms have fewer direct cross-references and should be checked by OEM part number. 

That last part matters.

Never order a Honda part simply because the engine looks similar

This is the classic trap.

The part may bolt on.

The connector may look identical.

The vehicle may even start.

And the specification can still be wrong.

For an expensive component, use the VIN, chassis information and original part number rather than visual similarity.

MDX is the most complicated of the four from a parts perspective

The MDX has passed through several generations, and the current model uses a 3.5-litre V6 or, in Type S form, a 3.0-litre turbocharged V6. Acura's current specification shows 10-speed automatic transmissions and SH-AWD availability across much of the range. 

That means “MDX engine part” is almost meaningless without the year and powertrain.

Older MDX parts can be easier to cross-reference

The first-generation MDX shares certain component relationships with contemporary Honda products.

That can help with cooling, suspension and selected mechanical components.

But it is still a part-number exercise, not a licence to order any Honda Pilot component that happens to look right.

Second-generation MDX needs closer fitment checking

The second-generation MDX has more opportunities for Honda-platform cross-reference, but drivetrain, trim and production-year differences still matter.

If the component is inexpensive, a minor mismatch may become an annoying return.

If it is a gearbox, differential, electronic module or major suspension assembly, the same mistake becomes expensive.

Third-generation MDX deserves more caution

The later MDX became increasingly Acura-specific.

That means the assumption that “Honda equivalent” will always work becomes weaker.

For higher-value third-generation parts, insist on the Acura/OEM part number and verify the exact application before payment.

MDX Type S changes the equation again

The current MDX Type S uses a 3.0-litre twin-scroll turbo V6, 355 hp and SH-AWD. It also has adaptive air suspension, Brembo front brakes and performance-specific chassis hardware. 

So a Type S should not be treated as a normal 3.5-litre MDX when ordering major components.

The suspension alone is enough to make that mistake painful.

RDX is a different parts story

The current RDX uses a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder with a 10-speed automatic and SH-AWD. Acura lists 272 hp and 280 lb-ft for the current model. 

Older RDX generations use different engines, transmissions and chassis arrangements.

So the year matters enormously.

First-generation RDX should never be confused with the current model

The early RDX was built around a different mechanical package, including a turbocharged four-cylinder and a very different platform.

A current RDX suspension component is not automatically relevant to a 2007–2012 vehicle.

When buying used parts, give the supplier the complete vehicle information rather than simply typing “RDX”.

Current RDX parts can be easier to source through turbo/Honda networks

The current RDX's 2.0-litre turbo architecture creates some useful supplier relationships with other Honda-family products, but again, that does not make every engine component interchangeable.

Turbochargers, injectors, sensors and electronic modules are exactly where assumptions become costly.

TLX is particularly sensitive to engine and drivetrain specification

The TLX has used a 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder and, in Type S form, a 3.0-litre turbo V6. Acura's published specifications show 10-speed automatic transmissions, with SH-AWD on applicable versions. 

A TLX Type S therefore belongs in its own sourcing conversation.

TLX brake parts already show why fitment matters

A UAE catalogue currently lists a Centric rear brake disc application for a 2016 Acura TLX SH-AWD at AED 147.66. 

The useful information is not the AED 147.66 itself.

It is the combination of year + model + drivetrain + part application.

That is what makes the price meaningful.

Integra is the newest and most unusual UAE sourcing case

The modern Integra returned with a completely different technical identity from the classic 1980s–2000s car.

The current model uses a 1.5-litre VTEC Turbo producing 200 hp, while the Integra Type S uses a 2.0-litre turbo producing 320 hp and a six-speed manual transmission. 

So if someone asks for an “Integra brake pad”, ask the year before doing anything else.

Do not mix classic Integra and modern Integra prices

A UAE listing currently shows a Febest front brake-pad kit at AED 66.03 including VAT for older Acura Integra applications from 1985–2001. 

That is a useful public price example.

It is not a price for the modern 2023–2026 Integra.

This distinction is exactly the sort of detail that prevents misleading UAE price guides.

Current Integra parts may arrive through Honda-compatible channels

The modern Integra shares important engineering relationships with the latest Honda Civic family.

A current UAE cooling-parts listing, for example, identifies a radiator application for the Acura Integra FE3/FE5 2021 onward alongside the 2022-on Honda Civic. 

That can expand sourcing options.

It still does not remove the need for part-number verification.

What do Acura spare parts actually cost in UAE?

There is no responsible single answer because public model-specific pricing is incomplete.

A better way to read the market is through verified examples:

The first four figures come from current UAE public listings; the older Integra figure is specifically for historic applications. None should be treated as a complete installed repair price. 

Why the same part can have very different prices

Condition.

Brand.

Part number.

Model year.

Availability.

Shipping route.

Whether VAT is included.

Whether the part is genuine, OEM-equivalent, aftermarket or used.

And, for imported Acura vehicles, whether the supplier has the part physically in UAE stock.

A price without those details is barely useful.

Genuine Acura parts are not the only legitimate option

Acura's official parts operation describes DreamShop as its genuine parts and accessories channel. 

For UAE owners, however, the purchasing route may be different because the normal local Acura dealership structure is absent.

That is where independent sourcing becomes important.

The key is to distinguish genuine Acura, OEM/OE-equivalent, aftermarket and used genuine rather than lumping everything outside a dealership into one category.

Used genuine parts can make sense for expensive components

A used original module, headlight, body panel or major mechanical assembly can sometimes be more economical than a new imported component.

But used does not describe quality.

It describes history.

Ask where the part came from, whether the donor vehicle's mileage is known, why it was dismantled and what warranty is offered.

Used electronics require particular caution

An Acura control module may physically fit while still requiring programming, coding or configuration.

A used module therefore needs more than a photograph.

Ask the supplier whether the exact module has been tested and whether it can be configured for your vehicle.

Brakes are one area where public UAE pricing is easier to find

Brake discs and pads are widely traded, and current UAE catalogues contain Acura applications.

One UAE parts marketplace currently lists a Brembo front pad set carrying an Acura/Honda OE reference at AED 500, while other Acura-compatible brake products appear at lower prices depending on application and manufacturer. 

Again, the important word is application.

A brake part that fits one Acura does not become a universal Acura brake part.

MDX brake calipers show the price spread

Current UAE listings include PowerStop caliper applications for 2014–2019 MDX at roughly AED 1,020–1,170 depending on the listed component. 

Those are individual new aftermarket/performance-oriented listings.

A complete braking repair will also involve discs, pads, labour and potentially wear hardware.

Don't compare one caliper with a complete brake job

This sounds obvious.

It still happens.

A customer sees AED 1,050 for a caliper online and assumes the workshop quotation for the brake system is inflated.

The workshop may actually be quoting two calipers, pads, discs, fitting, brake fluid and diagnostic work.

Compare like with like.

Suspension prices need even more care

The RDX, MDX and TLX use different suspension architectures.

The MDX Type S adds adaptive air suspension, making its replacement economics fundamentally different from a standard MDX. 

So “Acura suspension parts price” is too broad to be useful.

Specify the model, generation and suspension system.

Cooling parts are often where Honda cross-reference helps

Radiators, condenser-related components, fans and some hoses can appear in Honda/Acura cross-reference catalogues.

The current UAE cooling-parts catalogue demonstrates this directly for MDX and Integra applications. 

But the correct OEM reference still comes first.

UAE heat makes cooling-system diagnosis more important

An Acura running through a UAE summer spends a lot of time dealing with high ambient temperatures, heavy air-conditioning demand and traffic.

That does not mean every overheating Acura needs a radiator.

The workshop should establish coolant level, pressure integrity, thermostat operation, fan operation, coolant circulation and temperature behaviour before ordering parts.

Air-conditioning components need exact identification

A condenser, compressor, expansion valve and evaporator are completely different purchases.

A current UAE parts catalogue shows Acura MDX condenser-related applications across different model years. 

For an A/C repair, provide the VIN and, where possible, the existing compressor or condenser part number.

Engines should be priced as assemblies, not just “engine”

If an Acura engine fails, ask what the supplier is actually selling.

Bare long block?

Complete engine?

Engine with intake and exhaust?

Alternator?

Starter?

Fuel system?

Turbocharger?

Ancillaries?

A cheap engine can become expensive once missing components are added.

MDX engine sourcing varies dramatically by generation

Current MDX engines include the 3.5-litre naturally aspirated V6 and 3.0-litre turbo V6 Type S. 

Older MDX models use different engine generations.

So “3.5 MDX engine” is still not enough.

Confirm year, engine family and drivetrain.

RDX engine sourcing is even more generation-sensitive

The current RDX uses a 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder. 

Earlier RDX models use different powertrains.

If a seller tells you a turbocharged RDX engine will fit “all RDX models”, stop there.

Ask for the exact application.

TLX Type S is not just a larger TLX

The Type S uses a 3.0-litre turbo V6 with 355 hp and 354 lb-ft, compared with the 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder used in the standard TLX. 

That affects engine parts, cooling, brakes, drivetrain components and other performance-specific hardware.

Integra Type S deserves its own parts catalogue logic

The current Type S uses a 2.0-litre VTEC Turbo and six-speed manual transmission. 

The standard Integra uses the 1.5-litre turbo.

Even apparently simple components should therefore be checked against the exact variant.

Gearbox prices are not interchangeable either

The UAE market currently shows a Honda/Acura 10-speed gearbox listing at AED 6,000, with fitment verification by VIN or gearbox code. 

That is a useful benchmark for a complete transmission listing.

It is not a universal Acura gearbox price.

The MDX 9HP48 example is more useful than a generic gearbox quote

For 2016–2020 MDX applications, a 9HP48 repair kit is currently listed at AED 350. 

That creates three possible repair paths:

Repair the existing transmission.

Install a verified used transmission.

Buy a new/rebuilt replacement.

The correct route depends on diagnosis.

A gearbox fault code is not automatically a gearbox replacement

The workshop should check fluid condition, hydraulic behaviour, pressure where appropriate, electrical controls, solenoids, wiring, adaptation data and mechanical symptoms before condemning the complete transmission.

That is especially important with imported vehicles because sourcing a replacement gearbox can take longer.

UAE sourcing is often strongest in Dubai and Sharjah

Current UAE suppliers advertise American/Japanese vehicle parts, used OEM components and cross-emirate delivery from Sharjah and Dubai. 

For Acura owners, this matters.

You may not find the part in a shop near you, but that does not mean the component is unavailable in the UAE.

Send the VIN before asking for the final price

A serious supplier should want the vehicle identification information before confirming a generation-sensitive component.

Current UAE parts businesses explicitly promote VIN-based fitment verification for American vehicles and used OEM components. 

This is not unnecessary bureaucracy.

It is protection against ordering the wrong part.

Part numbers matter even more with Acura

For expensive Acura parts, the strongest fitment chain is:

VIN → vehicle specification → original part number → supplier cross-reference → final confirmation.

Not:

Google image → looks similar → order.

The latter is how a parts search becomes a returns problem.

What should the workshop check before you buy?

For a mechanical component:

• exact fault; 
• vehicle specification; 
• existing part number; 
• physical condition; 
• related components; 
• installation requirements.  

For an electronic component:

• DTCs; 
• power supply; 
• grounds; 
• wiring; 
• communication; 
• module configuration; 
• programming requirements. 

For an engine:

• compression; 
• leak-down where appropriate; 
• oil pressure; 
• cooling-system condition; 
• scan data; 
• mechanical noise; 
• fluid contamination. 

The part should follow the diagnosis.

Not the other way around.

Compare total installed cost

For an Acura, the useful comparison is:

Part + VAT + delivery + labour + fluids + seals + programming/calibration + possible return risk.

That is the number worth comparing.

A component that costs AED 300 less but requires another delivery, additional coding and a second installation may be the more expensive choice overall.

A practical Acura buying matrix for UAE owners

Where the UAE price evidence is strongest

The current public evidence is strongest for brakes, selected cooling parts, gearbox repair components and certain aftermarket mechanical parts.

It is much weaker for complete Acura engines, advanced electronics, Type S-specific components and many body assemblies.

That matters because an honest article should say when the market does not provide enough public data for a credible universal price range.

What not to do

Don't use a Honda part number just because a seller says “same platform”.

Don't compare a used OEM component with a new aftermarket component without identifying both.

Don't assume a 2010 RDX and 2025 RDX use the same component.

Don't treat an old Integra brake listing as evidence for the modern Integra.

Don't buy an electronic module before confirming the diagnostic fault.

Don't compare a part-only price against a workshop's installed quotation.

And don't let a low advertised price distract you from fitment.

Where PartFinder UAE fits into the search

For UAE Acura owners trying to compare sourcing options, PartFinder UAE can form part of the initial parts-search process, particularly when the goal is to identify the correct component and compare available supply routes rather than simply chase the first advertised price.

The same rule still applies: establish the vehicle specification first.

The cost of getting the Acura part wrong

The obvious cost is the part itself.

The less obvious cost is everything surrounding it.

Delivery.

Workshop downtime.

Removal and refitting.

Return shipping.

Diagnostic time.

Programming.

Fluids.

A second part.

And, occasionally, the discovery that the original component was never faulty.

That is why the cheapest Acura spare part in UAE is not necessarily the one with the lowest AED figure.

It is the one that fits, solves the diagnosed fault and does not force you to pay for the same job twice.

UAE Update Reference: September 2026

The UAE market references used here were checked in September 2026. Acura's official current product and parts information confirms the present MDX, RDX, TLX and Integra technical families, while current UAE sources demonstrate that specialist servicing and independent parts supply do exist despite the lack of a conventional new-Acura retail network in the country. 

Public UAE part prices remain highly application-specific. Used stock, imported parts, aftermarket availability, exchange rates, VAT treatment and supplier inventory can change, so the figures above should be treated as dated market references rather than fixed UAE price lists.
