well the squeaking has gotten a little worse than i remember and now even when the car is warm and ive been driving for a while i still hear that chirping noise. I understand to take it back to the dealer. i have a 07 tls with 58k miles on it so im guessing no warranty since i bought it private, any suggestion on a dealer in or near central jersey, also is there any damage if i keep driving for a while or will that make things worse? thanks

 

cant find info on the tsb...

 

i asked the same question before with no answer: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/tsb-876600/

 

did the happen to you?and did u happen to get it fixed?

 

i get that chirping sometimes, i think it relates to that tsb, but no one has a clue what the tsb says lol

 

lol thanks ill try to go to the dealer mines got louder for some damn reason....but somebody tell me a acura or honda dealer that is good around central jersey

 

^^ My experiences with Elite Acura in Maple Shade have been very good, but I don't go there for regular maintenance (usually just warranty stuff or that which can't be handled by my regular garage).

 

Is this the timing belt chirping? I had a TSB performed which had a shim kit - performed by my dealer, and the noise is gone.

 

the timing belt doesnt chirp...its the timing belt tensioner

 

imma go and check out that dealer its about an hr away

 

i also have this chirping with my 07 TL-S 57K miles. it seems to only show itself on cold starts after it has rained, but it also seems like its getting worse.

i will be taking it to the dealership soon with a few other things for them to fix under CPO warranty.

 

my 08 TL-S with 66K on the clock has this issue on and off, i've taken it to the dealer about 3-4 times, in which of course the day i show up it's gone.. it happens when its really hot, or really cold..

 

my does the same thing, the tech told me there is no noise that I should concern well after twice in the dealer and come back with the same answer. Can someone post a video so other can share the experience? thank you all in advance.

 

imma try to get a video tomorrow and ill post it up as soon as i do

 

mines before would happen on cold start ups and then would go away but no its just there

 

i posted this in azine when it first started, so i do have a video with the noise when it first popped up, here it is

 

yea mine sounds the same. what sucks is i changed out my serpentine belt tensioner 2 yrs ago alrdy myself, and the same noise popped up....how is it that these things start making noise only after 2 yrs? or maybe its my serpentine belt getting worn...i have a replacement one in my garage i'll probably replace it tomorrow and report back

 

same exact noise here.....tell us how it goes when u change it out
