Hi,

Need some help!!
Have a 2004 mdx with 84,000KM (est 40,000miles). I am hearing a whing sound at about 60km/hr, but only at crusing rpm. I distincly sound like wind resistance. Took it to the dealership and they did the PCM softwate update, no help. They said its the Torque converter. Read quite a few reviews/service bulletin which seems to suggest this is the problem. The problem is the sound is coming from the back, around the rear muffler/differential. and not the tranny & it shifts perfectly. Independent Tranny shop said it appears not to be the Tranny or Torque converter. No codes.
Any thoughts?

 

No one has experience this problem?

 

Have you tried changing your VTM Fluid. If the fluid is old, it will cause the rear to whine. Just a thought

 

The whining noise could possibly be the air intake system, I discovered the dealer installed a turbo in my '04 to boost gas mileage ratings, when it winds up it sounds like a jet engine starting up.
