I got a Problem i took my accord in for service and the problem was i heard groaning form the pulleys now before this in the winter time i heard sqealing from the pulleys. So they claimed they made the repair now for a couple of days no sound then i heard the sqealing im like now what. So it went away so today rather this morning i hear whining sound as i am driving in the street or when i come to a stop but as i turn the steering wheel it go' and comes but still whines. Now when i took it in i was under warranty now im out only left pwertrain, and tranny warranty any advive what could br wrong. And i really do not want to go back to the buttholes who claimed they fixed it will powertrain help me out if i go somwhere else? they said they put a new shim kit on to stop the groaning from the pulleys and said it was a tsb on it but i researched THERE IS NOT ONE OR GUYS IS IT i believe since i was at the threshold of being out of warrnty they knew they could jerk me help guys. ps this whining sound was not doing this when i brought in the 1st time.

| The squealing you heard was probably from a dry belt. The quick fix is to spray a little lubricant on the belt (known as belt dressing). This generally does the trick, however sometimes it (the squealing) comes back. If it is a groaning noise, that sounds like a pump. In a GM car or a CHRYSLER...it is common. But a HONDA? Ask the dealer to check it out and sometimes they will offer you a courtesy repair, especially if it was just in the shop. Good luck with it. I have always found our local dealer to be helpful and more than fair! | |

Replying to: mookie14 (Apr 27, 2009 7:16 am) The fact that they have your problem documented before the warranty was up is a good thing. The dealer gets paid whether or not the work is under warranty, so I doubt they were jerking you around (for that purpose anyway). You should take the car back to them if it is having the same issue, whether or not it is currently under the powertrain warranty shouldn't matter, since they didn't fix the issue the first time. |

I got a V-6 also if i need a Pwer steering pump is thats covered under 5yr-60k power train?? This is what happens: As i sit for a sec then i turn on the air when its on or not about a min i drove off then as i reached the street the whining starts then i turn the wheel it goes and comes but the sounds is still there the power sterring fluid is full. At the dealership they said they repaired something "timing something at that time i heard groaning from the pulleys so guys help me me out thanks. I got like 36100 miles on it, now if i go to another dealership will all this be covered under pwer train this reason i want go to another dealership is EDUCATION!! some of these guys do not know nothing they try to fix one thing and another thing happens i do not need the headaches hell honda huh? what to do? guys.

Don't want to beat a dead horse about the antifreeze thing, but I did not get a chance to go to the Honda dealer over the weekend like I had hoped, and now still find myself needing some antifreeze. I just went to the prestone web site and they claim their extended life antifreeze is ok for all makes and all models. They specifically list Honda and specifically say that it does not cause premature water pump wear. They say compatible with all aluminum engines etc. etc. Outlined in the following video. http://www.prestone.com/hero/pop.php Are they really lying? I want what is best for the car, but if best means 1 or 2% (or even 10%) better I don't really care. If it means the difference between normal water pump life and failing in a year or two then I certainly want in. BTW I used Prestone in my Acura Integra (1990 model) from 1992 until present. Never had a water pump fail, but did replace it as a precaution in 1999 when the timing belt was changed the first time. Why would Prestone Ignore Honda and not make it compatible? Of course I can be my own devils advocate and say that by the time your car has had the water pump fail you may not even own it, or think about Prestone, and they are counting on that. Does seem a little cynical though.

Replying to: dudleyr (Apr 27, 2009 1:35 pm) My guess the issue is with the compatibility of the coolant itself. If your going to do a total replacement, then I doubt using any extended use coolant would be wrong. Just my opinion. Mrbill |
