after a while it turned into wirring noise when i took the rpms up... when this started i took it to the dealership and they diagnosed it and fixed it.

i turned out to be a failing alternator... now its silent like new

Wow! Wouldn't want that. Well i'm going to have to schedule an appointment with my local dealer. I need to practice cuz from what i read from all the forums here honda techs A-holes. But lets see how it all turns out!

Hopefully is nothing bad.

A year from now i'm trading this freaking car in!!!

Your car is new. your more than likely looking for problems.

I would always go in assuming they are going to be nice and helpful. This will make things go much smoother if they are nice. I think people are more likely to complain online about a bad experience than they are to spread praise about a good experience.

If they do treat you badly, then you can react/complain online accordingly

. Good luck, hope it turns out well.

No i bought this car because my old aZZ accord was giving me problems. I haven't had this car for a whole month, and yet i have run into half of the problems talked about in the site. I went through the process of getting a NEW car so i wouldn't have to deal with problems. I mean i love honda but i don't want to be scheduling appointments to get it checked out once a month.

While the engine is cold it doesn't seem to make any noise but once it reaches operating temps it starts up again. From my observation is seems like it has something to do with the belt or pulley area. I tried searching the forum but all I got were the fuel injector clicking noise, which I already know about and its a different sound that the clicking.

2008 Civic SI Sedan
800 miles
Haven't driven it hard, only hit V-tec once while test driving at the dealership.

I'm sorry it sounds so vague, I can't think of anything that can describe the sound. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a post about this BRB have link....

yes someone had said it was the PCV valve and I guessing it is because when I picked it up from the dealer the next moroning it made the noise......
I reccomend taking it to dealer and seeing what it could be...I have also heard of someone getting a new motor over this.....

CiViCDooD · 10-28-2007, 09:47 PM

if i were you id just get it checked out by the dealer, ur car most likely is still under warrenty so it doesnt hurt, good luck with the problem

mischief316 · 10-29-2007, 12:23 AM

I'm starting to hate the idea of taking my car to get checked. 1)Its the only car i have. 2) No one to let me barrow one. 3) No one to hitch a ride with, i start work at 3:30am

From what i've read around some problems can take up to a week to get fixed or even more. I can't stay with out a ride for so long. So i'm going to take it in, but i dont know, it depends how long its going to take them to fix it.

MarsRover · 10-29-2007, 01:15 AM

I had the same noise coming from the belt/pulley .... here's the Service Bulletin that Honda put out to fix it. Funny how NONE of the mechanics at Honda dealer never saw it before! They told me (first 3 times I took it in) that the noise was normal! I took in this Bulletin and made them order the belt kit and install it, magically, the noise is gone!
Here's the Service Bulletin: (hope this works)

projek7 · 10-29-2007, 06:00 PM

Marsrover, thanks for the service bulletin. I'll go ahead and print that out and take it to the dealer this weekend. Even though my VIN number is out of the range listed on the service bulletin and my year isn't listed (2008), I wonder if they'll still honor it.

Brandon Park · 03-13-2008, 09:42 PM

Hey guys i was checking out this noise thing that is coming from the belt pulley's and yea i have a 2008 SI sedan with just over 700 miles on it and its kinda making that buzzie/grinding noise i really didn't notice it before but then again i havent owned this one that long to realize if thats normal, i am gonna get it checked out with the mechanics at Boardwalk honda in AC,NJ .

rebelsi · 03-14-2008, 05:04 AM

I had the same problem, at 500 miles, coming for the exact same spot on my si, took it to the dealer they said it could be a pulley baring. Drop it off they called me in an hour said the timing on the belt was off, but guess what still made the noise after they "fixed it", and it still does, 2500 miles now. should take it back but im lazy. car seems fine, drives nice. It sounds like a chain rattling nosie. If that makes sense.
