My 1994 honda accord Ex
Say, my car still looks nice and runs great at 182,000 miles.....until I
heard something underneath the car 2 days ago...when I accelerate/and or push the gas I hear like slightly clanking no much ....I've bee told It might be tranny/or the heat shield from the catalyc converter could be lose???? But then, I check my tranny oil ..its filled...check the oil it was very low (but I have no leak at all) but had oil change at 181,500...went back to the shop -Tireplus- told them about/ask about the oil change... and they recorrect the oil at no charge!!! (idiots) i think they forgot to put oil in it...or burns up oil (synthetic).. |

When they stick they can suck out your oil and mess up your idle too. No comment on the other stuff. 'Curly' |

Are the noises in the front of the car or the rear? Right or left side? Does the noise happen when accelerating in a turn? A clanking noise could also describe a need for new CV axles. Check your CV boots. Also, for the noises, you may need to check your engine mounts and exhaust pipe mounts. Worn or broken rubber dampers in these mounts could cause what you describe. marco -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Re: My 1994 honda accord Ex
Thnx Marco,
thnx for the suggestion but I just found out, where the noise is coming from (it was not that drastic of clanking noise) it was the heat shield from the catalyc converter (more of tin can tinking than clanking) it's slightly lose! And when it was oil change at Tireplus i came back complained and they refilled, i ask one of the tech that put the oil in and he said that somethime "when it fills up for some reason it sucks the oil in more that it does not read on the dipstick it's full on Hondas??huh??" I think they just forgot to put it in, I should check it before I left that place...but who knows...but I think when it came to the point that the engine got too hot the heatshield was affected by the heat from the catalyc ???? so it losen up!!!!... up...who knows...those btd's~ I should of ask even for the refill receipt for evidence !!! |
