reset ECU. (PCM, ECM, TCM, whatever you call it)

car picks up on previous owners' driving style. so it might not suit you and car is confused.

so,,, boom. amnesia. car thinks you're the first owner.

4drviper

tell the manager "put ample amount of brake grease all over the back of the pad and between every shims until the noise stops. cars aren't supposed to squeal this bad"

i fixed so many friends "noisy new brakes" .. ugh those people "it'll go away, drive more"

Em2slow

Lol I'm starting to think this car is to high tech for me haha

Em2slow

Oh they said brembo brakes are like the best! What a crock of shit! It's so bad especially when they get wet! It's horrible! N if I left go of the brake slowly it's this awfull grinding noise lol my civic had the same problem lol

something is wrong with your brakes, you must not have oem brake pads. i guarantee you with oem brake pads and rotors, and no air in your brake lines, the car should stop decently quick. people often blame the brakes, but its often that people install inferior pads or something. granted these are not as good as modern sports car brakes, but it can hold its own in many cases.

Well guys I found a NEW problem .. While I was backing up and turning the wheel I heard a noise coming from my passenger side sounding like something was rubbing .. My friend got out of the car n I pulled up n backed up n he said he was hearing a ticking noise as I was backing up.. Any ideas on what it could be? I just noticed it today! This car is cursed I swear!! Lol

Em2slow

It stops fine I just notice it does it more when it's really cold or wet so idk lol

Em2slow

Idk I never got around to check

Em2slow

Oh n I got a 136 dollar ticket for my tints! Happy Christmas to me lol

FlipTA2TL

^ouch. The cop is probably a prick.

Em2slow

Lol supposedly it's part
Of their click it or ticket campaign to check tints ( bull shit ) I was stopped for seat belt check like 3 days before around the same area n no one said anything .. And if it was a male cop I might of gotten away with it.. Unfortunately it was a girl cop and she was deff not lesbian lmao

4drviper

i thought girls could get out of tickets with a smile...



anyway.

this noise?
then this is the fix

any car guy(or girl) friend should do it for you for free or beer.. i would.
----------------
nevermind. just saw a girl cop post.

Em2slow

Lol yea! Girl cop! He sent me to the girl cop cuz he knew I woulnt get away with it!! Lol n the noise sounds nothing like the video u sent me .. This noise when I'm backing up it just sounds like I'm running over my bumper n it only does it when I'm turning the wheel as I'm backing up

4drviper

turning wheel = power steering

cold = power steering fluid too thick

backing up = most people turn more going backward than forward.

check power steering pump or whatever related...?

i thought i was the only one awake at this time

Paul05TL

It is most likely the power steering O-ring, i would start there as it is the most common problem and you said it was in that general area.

Mine made a different nasty noise each cold morning and I was stumped until I joined up here and saw that fix so gave it a try and it worked, even though I later found out the previous owner took it in for that recall obviously it was not fixed.

Hopefully things turn around for ya, seems as if your luck isn't the best lol.


Edit: insomnia sucks a big one.....

Em2slow

Idk it does it when I'm backing up n turning the wheel right .. It don't do it when I turn left.. When I did it my car was warm

Em2slow

yea cuz the dealer ships don't do shit! They always come up with a bull shit excuse .. I'm telling u I'm regretting bying the car.. I always have bad luck! The car had 58k miles on it I bought it for 46 n I shouldn't be having these problems! It just sucks trying to explain it n having people not understanding or just brush it off cuz I'm a girl! Lol



I work 11 to 7 so I'm always up

Em2slow

I tried to click on the link but it said there is no page for it

4drviper

it's DIY A-105 in 3G TL Garage

or just google "DIY A-105: Power Steering Whine fix "

Em2slow

^^ gotcha .. I'm to scared to try it myself... Knowing my luck ill blow something up haha but I paid money for my warranty so I'm gonna let Honda decide

4drviper

I am so jealous of warranty people.

Em2slow

Don't be .. Half the time they still won't cover shit or they will find a reason not to lol I still have to pay a " diagnostic fee" and my warranty has a 100 dollar deductible! My issue is that it says if parts break due to " altercations or modifications" it will void my warranty but the dealer sold me the car lowered n I bought the warranty for the car as it is so I hope they don't give me shit for that to!

4drviper

just remembered, how heavy is your steering when parking??

Em2slow

Lol uh idk it dosnt feel heavy .. But I'm not sure if I understand the question

Em2slow

So were all still alive I presume?? Lol and I'm happy to report I might of found the cause of my noise but not sure if I still should bring it to the dealer ... Any suggestions?

4drviper

What do you think might be the cause of the noise?

You're still going to dealer because if I were you I'd fight for the warranty you have. Whatever the cause is.

BIG Arthur

Yeah that's awkward

Em2slow

Well I had my cousin listen and he said something was rubbing against my wheel so I had him reverse n sure enough the inside wheel well there's a piece that's sticking out n my tire rubs against it .. It was a flat drive way so it wasn't as pronounced my drive way is on a little incline n I have to back up at an angle or else I scrape n I hear it more loudly..

Ur telling me I'm going? Lol I think you are suggesting I go instead right? Haha well I got to fix that rubbing part first cuz there's no way I'm paying 100 dollars for them to tell me my tire rubs

4drviper

:o didn't know you had to pay for diagnostics.

Glad the weird noise has been taken care of. I still have yet to eliminate a few rattles inside the cabin

Em2slow

crazy drivers lol

Em2slow

Pfft yea!! Well not yet.. I still got to take care of that n see if it helps lol I freaking got my oil change at the dealer n they were gonna charge me 150 dollars for the stupid air filters!! I tought I had a mini stroke! Lol

Em2slow

Sooooooo my car had been running alittle crappy lately but I tought nothing of it n then today check engine light comes on brought to the dealer and it was driving extremely crappy so they checked n said it was a fuel ratio lean bank code an they said they didn't replace any parts it was just a computer upgrade.... Anyone ever deal with this??

And I explain about the stuttering n the noise it was making when I was backing up n here is what they wrote on the report ...." Fuel ratio blah blah blah customer states sputtering maybe related to check engine light road tested ok did the computer upgrade road tested ok " .. When I question the service guy about the noise he said " the guys didnt hear anything it could be due to different things like ur suspension saggin or the tires being worned out ur car is low and I'm like yea but if that was the problem u guys would of found it when u inspected the car or the first day I took my car.. This is obviously something that just started happening n since when does my tires being worn out make it sound like I'm running over my bumper? Lol I hate dealerships ." ain't that some shit?


Ps they are charging about 1000 plus tax plus labor to change brakes and rotors.. Plus 1000 for Michelin tires.. Lol I don't wanna be a baller no more!

4drviper

Use the girl advantage and ask a member to do your brake lolol
1000 for brakes is just plain dumb.

And for the rubbing, lean, and suspension............
That is some shit

Em2slow

Lol I didn't wanna pay 150 for air filters I sure as hell ain't gonna pay 1000... But idk that whole fuel ratio shit stumped me .. A friend of mine n former tl s owner said he went they it but they replaced sensors so idk

BOSSTLtypes-S

sounds like it was an ecu issue adn they upgraded it but as far as the whole replacing the brakes adn rotors check your owners manual im not to sure but they should replace them because its covered under the warranty, and the air filter just go to home depot and make your own...or go to a honda dealership and find the same part number as alot of the honda accord parts find direclty onto the tl....but the brake job is BS.....go to a different dealership!....

is it still doing the sputtering at low rpm speed...could of been sensors or bad injectors or bad injector o-rings....or even a small tear in a breather line to the engine

Em2slow

It's driving better now and only time will tell if it's still sputtering cuz it does it randomly but it's not covered in the warranty due to the fact it's considered " normal wear and tear" they said oh cuz it's a type s and blah blah blah but I kno that dealer shops are ridiculous with pricings if I could post a pic I would cuz I'm not even lying!! Lol but they test drove it n no " sputtering " happen so if I continue to have that problem it will never be fixed because they will always telle the same thing!

Em2slow

^^^ the filters I'm buying them from like auto zone n putting them in my self lol n go shopping with 150 bucks
