I just dropped off my 03 Accord Coupe, 4cyl, 5M at Capitol Honda. I got rattling sound on both doors :madfawk:
There is one more annoying thing. This only happens at random times. When you leave the car idle, sometimes I can hear tick-tick sound from the engine (just sit on the driver's seat and listen). It sounds like a helicopter engine. It's not too loud but irrittating enough for me.
When I was dropping off the car, I got one of the technician to ride with me. He said that the noise comes from the solenoid on the emission control.:bs: and.... Honda already published a newsletter to explain about it. He said that I am not the only one getting annoyed by the sound but there is nothing he can do about it.
What do you guys think? Is this guy lying or what? I don't even know where to get that newsletter.
I am not sure if the same problem happens on the V6.
If you want to try duplicating the problem, you can try turning on the A/C for about 1-3 minutes then turn it off. Then leave the car idle. You should hear it right away.
