#909 of 1030 Re: Noise at 3500 to 4000 rpm in 6th, Highway Driving, Any Suggestions? [ks by muc Aug 30, 2006 (6:51 am)
Replying to: ksj06rsxdc5 (Jul 09, 2006 1:12 pm) I have recently purchased a 2006 RSX and observed a noise similar to the one being described. it happened at about 60mph. i took it to the dealer and the shop foreman rode with me and said it was the seal on the windshield and it needed replacing. I am taking it in this Friday and will let you know what happens. I did not think it was coming from the windshield, but from the engine compartment. He seemed to know the problem, however and it does make sense. he says it lifts up at the high speeds.

Replying to: hatchet53 (Jun 28, 2006 10:59 am) OK ... well there is finally a TSB out related to the front end clunking noise. It is definatley the springs and they have remanufactured new parts. I just got back from my 1st oil change at the dealer, they are ordering the springs and I'll have them installed next Friday. I'll report back my results.   If your dealership claims they don't have the TSB, here it is:   http://www.alldata.com/tsb/Acura/1155625200000_1156143600000_06-026/6026.html   Here is an invoice from someone in TX who alread had those corresponding part #'s(the springs) installed:   http://rsx.adampayrot.info/invoice.jpg   Hope this helps!

Replying to: tonid (Aug 25, 2006 2:08 pm) Since our 2003 RSX is a lightweight car with fairly wide tires, I assume it is horrible in the snow. If I drive in the snow, I am very, very careful.   Being front-wheel drive is good for traction when I am trying to move, but it won't do a thing for me if I need to stop. Since the rear of the car is very light, I assume the rear wheels could easily lock up in the snow and the car could spin out, leading to a nasty accident.

Replying to: ksj06rsxdc5 (Jul 09, 2006 1:12 pm) This is a follow up to my last note that the dealer told me the noise was due to an improper windshield seal. i took the car to the dealer and they put a new seal and this has corrected the problem to date.

Replying to: drawdef (Sep 01, 2006 10:49 am) Thanks! I'll take it with me next time I have it in for service. Getting ready for a x country trip in the the Type S, so we'll see how it does after that.
#914 of 1030 Turn signal buzzing when downshifing by overzealousrsx Sep 12, 2006 (6:00 pm)
One day my turn signals stopped flashing but the hazards kept working so I drove it to the deal and big surprise they started working again on the way. So they've worked ever since but when the engine is under load, such as being in third gear while under load i head a buzzing sound from the steering column especially from where the turn signal relay box is? Any ideas?
#916 of 1030 warped exhaust camshaft by nxcess Sep 24, 2006 (3:41 pm)
Well. I need some guidance. I have an 02 RSX Base Auto. I recently discovered that my exhaust camshaft is warped. The car's been out of warranty for some time now. Is there anyway I can get the dealer to replace this, considering it's a defect in the engine? Here's a pic of what it looks like. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 27, 2006 6:52 am)

Replying to: muc (Sep 04, 2006 12:07 pm) Thanks for the reply "muc".   Could you possibly post a copy of your invoice for the windshield seal, in a reply message? This would help me out tremendously so I can finally get rid of the noise.   I've had the noise since I bought the car, it sat at the dealer for 4 weeks. When I got it back they weren't sure what they did but said they fixed it. The noise has been muted since then but I can still hear it at freeway speeds.   Thanks!

Replying to: nxcess (Sep 24, 2006 3:41 pm) That's not warping, that's what they call "galling" and looks like a lubrication issue. You'd be very hard put to prove a defect (even though you could be right) since you'd have to prove that the initial hardness of the cam's metallurgy was incorrect at manufacture.   Camshaft failure in overhead cam engines is usually related to poor lubrication or quality of the lubricants---camshafts are REALLY vulnerable at cold startups and very vulnerable to high heat engine conditions.   When this car is fixed, the cam's line bore shoule be checked, and if this engine uses cam bearings, those should be replaced, and in the future you should use only synthetic oils at 5,000 mile intervals.   Sorry to hear about this problem, but it seems to be getting more common with modern OHC engines.
