After i got my car back, i noticed a whining type noise and checked under the hood. It was coming from the pullies, so i took it too the dealer and they said a slight glaze had formed on them and they cleaned it off but the noise came back. So i went back this morning and they did something else and they said the noise would most likely come back soon and that I should get a new belt. Anybody else have this problem or a solution?

 

A squeak noise? Only happens sometimes? A belt in my old Daytona used to do that... the fix, take a wire brush and hold it against the side of the belt while its moving. Then do the other side. Dunno if that'd help you though.

 

Warning! Your alternator might be going or your alternator bolt is not toruqed down correctly! If you TL guys don't know, the Accord V6ers have nothing but problems with AEM pulleys. It came to a point that no one is putting these on now because they almost always drain your battery eventually. The power output at idle with accessories on is way too low and power starts getting pulled from the battery itself. The whining noise is usually a sign that the alternator is going. Many with Accord V6s who installed AEM pulleys ended up with close to $1000 of damage because of incorrectly torqued alternator pulley. I'm not sure if this is the same case with TL, but be on the lookout. You might find yourself with a dead battery in a month or two.

 

Awsome post. Good thing I didnt look at the pulleys for too long or I might have just bought them.

 

I am looking to get them used from a friend who is selling his TL, but I don't know..this is really scaring me...

 

There goes my plan of getting the pulleys.
I hope it gets fix so I can get them later on.

 

I am not 100% sure if this will happen to TL. But here is another fact, Accord V6 comes with Delphi alternators, which we think are just POS. Someone told me that TL has Denso alternators, which are better than Delphi. However, to give you an idea what kind of power drain there is on Accord V6, here is the original post by BNut,
Important Info about testing your Alternator!!!

Here's what you need to do. I looked all over the place trying to find a meter to measure the amperage from my alternator... no dice!

What you need to do is go to Autozone or any parts store that has a battery tester. The one at autozone measure the volts, amps, AND the rpms!!! With my car at idle and NO accessories turned on, my alternator was generating 6-9amps of additional power (more than was being used) and was running around 12.9 volts. This means my car isn't producing much "additional" power. With the only the headlights turned on, my additonal amperage dropped down to about 1-2 amps. With the A/C turned on with the fan on 2nd position, (in addition to the headlights being on) my alternator no longer produced enough power at idle and I was using 5-6amps of power from the battery and my voltage was hovering around 12.5.

This entire time my stereo was turned OFF! Here's the funny part... as soon as I brought my rpms up to about 1,250 (as indicated on my tach) I was producing 39 additional amps of power with the voltage around 13.9 volts. This was while the headlights and A/C were still on.

So, time to go get your alternators checked out and see how everything is holding up.
