#1917 of 1936 Scraping noise by bassmark Nov 05, 2009 (3:13 pm)
Hi. Our 2006 Honda Accord (V-Tech six cylinder) has started making a metallic scraping noise when driving as if a metal strip were dangling from underneath the car. It occurs randomly, but seems more prevalant when curving right.   After looking under the car and finding nothing, I thought about the brakes at first, but it occurs while cruising as well. Speed is not a factor and we actually hear it better moving slowly through residential areas. Sure would appreciate some input on this.   Thanks, bassmark2000yahoo.com Replies to this message: mrbill1957 (Nov 05, 2009 3:21 pm) thegraduate (Nov 05, 2009 8:40 pm)

Replying to: bassmark (Nov 05, 2009 3:13 pm) Was one of the tires recently removed and replaced?   It's common when removing a tire to lower it before it fully clears the thin metal shield behind the rotor. They can be easily bent and will rub the rotor. When you make your right turn, the rotor tilts ever so slightly and makes contact to shield.   Mrbill

Replying to: bassmark (Nov 05, 2009 3:13 pm) When brake pads are worn out, they make a metallic scraping/screeching sound when the brakes are not being applied. Check the pads.

Replying to: morphius909 (Oct 18, 2009 10:08 am) You can replace the light behind the odometer. It's just like the light that burns out for the clock. Buy the light and follow the instructions on the forum below:   http://www.superhonda.com/forum/f13/odometer-lights-327164/

Replying to: nailn10 (Nov 09, 2009 8:05 pm) Well that was a BAD GUESS wasn't it?   Someone needs to read the trouble codes first off, then do the basics of cleaning the MAF sensor, throttle body, checking the EGR, checking for vacuum leaks, and of course the obligatory tune up. Also switching gasoline and using some fuel injector cleaner is not a bad idea. Replies to this message: nailn10 (Nov 10, 2009 10:21 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Nov 11, 2009 7:35 am)

Replying to: nailn10 (Nov 10, 2009 10:21 pm) I didn't mean to imply it was your guess.   Without the proper methodical diagnosis, it's hard to say if it's worth it or not. Doesn't sound like a huge problem on the face of it.
