Have low mileage on '06. Heard intermittent squeaking from passenger side of engine. Of course it was not there once I got to dealer. He said could be something to do with timing belt or tensioner but needs to hear it. Anyone have similar experience?

sounds like the drive belt and tensioner. this model has one belt instead of two like the old ones.

Follow-up on the noise. Went to dealer and noise was present. This has been intermittent for a year. He pulled up a TSB on his computer. It is the timing belt tensioner and they replaced it with a new timing belt and adding a "spacer". No more noise. When asked why this was not done sooner since there is a TSB, was told they were not allowed by Acura unless they actually hear it.

glad you got it taken care off.. any out of pocket expense?

No; it is in a TSB from acura so it is well known to the company. I had complained about noise when it was still in warranty and made them note my complaint in the records so I would have recourse after warranty. But since it was in a TSB, acura should do it free for everyone.
