07 MDX Anyone heard this distinctive noise?
Has anyone heard this distinctive noise? It appears to be emanating from the engine bay possibly by the belt. It's intermittent though increasing in frequency. Occurs even when idling. Sometimes quite loud, other times quiet. Air is off so not the compressor. Does not appear to be affected by air temp. Thanks

Yup, that is the lovely sound of the Timing Belt Hydraulic Tensioner that has failed...
REPLACE THE TIMING BELT KIT ASAP... DO NOT USE THE CAR ANYMORE.
