Hey,
I have a 01 Lude and I am pretty sure I have the bad auto tensioner. I have done alot of research on this and I have the flapping sound around 1800-2200 RPM. Here is my problem. The Honda Dealership near me wants $908.00 to change the belts, waterpump, tensioner etc. From what I have read this is about $70 over the high side of what it should be. I called another dealer over an hour from here and they will do it for around$700.00 which is better. My third choice is there is an Import place here in town that will do the whole thing for $500.00. I checked this guy out with the B.B.B and he has no complaints since 1983! I don't like the idea of driving the Prelude anymore than I have to. It is currently parked and I drive my CRV daily. I really dont care for having to go so far away to the Honda dealership, but I know that Honda might be best. What do you think?

Thanks in advance!

Jamie
