Denial: a river in Egypt
|
Ok folks,
I picked up the car today and the tech guys says its actually the ac lines vibrating against eachother and they were repositioned. Great....Sounds legitimate to me. They also worked on a creak in the rear shelf and one behind the cd player. Got in the car, took off......creak in the rear shelf....still there.....but the creak behind the cd player IS gone. Hit VTEC and the sound is still kinda there, albiet a bit quieter......I'm not sure what was loose in there. I checked it out myself and everything felt tight. I don't know but at least its on file that the sound WAS there. Otherwise, did you know they use 5w/20 in the TL's and RL's? Apparently they put synthetic blend in ALL their cars. Oh well, look into it on your end and let me know if THEY say its the a/c lines. Rob

Yeah, I was worried by this (abnormal sounding) VTEC WOT noise after installing my Injen CAI (it's very noticeable after this mod) and I was relieved to found it was "normal". However, I don't recall noticing it before the CAI install.

This issue has got me worrying. I just made an appointment myself for next week. I will let you know what the Service Techs in MA have to say about it. On another note, I noticed a small tanish mark coming through the paint high on my hood. It looks like it is rusting from the inside out. I am going to have them take a look at that as well. How quickly the feeling of joy turns to dread...

hmm, well the two things I have different then all the rest of u, are a K&N CAI, and I removed the Head shielding/ Soundproofing under the hood, Ive never heard a noise like what any of you are describing, so I dont know if either of that has anything to do with it...just thinking of what I did right, lol, kinda weird , except for this, the Cabin Lights, Ive had every other problem the TSX has had.

I too have noticed this noise and I FREAKED OUT when i first noticed it. Usually the radio is on loud enough that I wouldn't hear a passenger next to me yelling, but one morning while on a trip i had the car quiet and noticed this. Doesn't seem to be tranny related as I can reproduce the noise with the clutch in.
I'm due for my 10,000 soon so I might have them look at that, the damn creaking behind the rear shelf (i swear i hope someone fixes that soon, every one of these cars seems to have it and it is frickin' loud, especially for a near $30k car, i mean, my $17k mustang never made a sound). Please post back to this forum if you hear anything! |

Just an update folks,
The dealer has had my car for two days now and they figured out what the sound is.........deformed heat shield, which rattles upon engagement of VTEC. They are replacing it free of charge. It is a factory defect. If you have this problem have them look at this area. Maybe its a future recall??? Also the creak in my back rear shelf area was a broken weld in the stamping.....They fixed that too under warranty. So there you have it..... Deformed Heat shield and broken weld. Whats up with Honda quality?.....

And noise gone. There is another test for those of you still having this noise: Turn your climate system to the LOWEST and turn off and bring it up to VTEC , see if you still hear that or less.

Cause if I bring my TSX in and tell Service this "defect" and ask for a replacement... I will be damned if they insist on taking my car out for a dignosis-drive and hit VTEC...
