wow thats some awesome links there!! thanks

 

The link to this TSB seems to be dead, anyone have a good link for it?

 

go to 3G garage

click on TSBs

Follow instructions to access.

 

I tried that, all of the other TSBs open but this one..

 

What year and how many miles are on your vehicle?

I have the same noise, but the dealer refused to cover it under powertrain. They say it would need to be under the 4yr bumper to bumper, which of course mine no longer has.

 

2008 CPO with 82k on it .. So I'm still under CPO. So I looked under the Acura warranty manual and it lists what is power train and to the best of my understanding it should be powertrain....

 

anyone else have any non-dead links or perhaps the TSB on their computer they can email to me?? I am going to the dealer this thursday.

 

i have the PDF file for the TSB for the TB squeak.

 

If it is 10-035 can u please email it to me..

I'm wondering if this is the problem I have. I have a squeeking sound but can't solve it, changed tensioner pulley and P.S. pump rings and seals. Is this squeek constant, intermitent? Any more specifics? Much appreciated..

 

Was hoping someone could help me. I want to find this shim by itself to purchase. The only way Iv been able to find it so far, is with the shim, a new belt, and the timing belt gear pulley which costs way too much and doesn't need replaced any way.

 

interesting how the 2004 models are not included in the TSB..i wonder what changed, the casting of the engine block (pulley mount)?

 

I've had this "squeeking" noise on my 2007 TL for years now. I probably first noticed it a year after I purchased the vehicle new in Nov 2006, but the dealership kept saying they don't see anything wrong with it. Now with the weather getting cold again, it has been louder than it ever has been and the noise does not go away like it use to. I'm going into the dealership tomorrow to put tires on my wife's car, so I am bringing along the TSB 08-031 and 10-035. I'll see what they have to say now. The one thing I don't have going for me any more is that my car now has 79,000 miles on it and is not covered under a factory bumper to bumper warranty any more.

I also would like to note that my wife has a 2006 Honda Accord EX and we have the same problem with her vehicle from the time it was almost new. I took Accord in several times, but they kept saying there was nothing wrong and that it was normal.

Enough is enough now! Stay tuned...

 

Here is a quick video of the noise...

 

You cant let em bullshit you and say there is no problem when you know there is. Physically show the service writer what youre talking about. Since youre out of warranty now you can try calling Acura corporate and telling them the dealership kept ignoring your complaints the whole time and try to get it goodwilled, but good luck with that.

 

Pull the serpentine belt off, start the car and see if the noise still exists, if not, you've located the problem area(s).

 

Finally getting around to my update with the noise I was having...I brought the 2 service bulletins in to the dealership and they ended up replacing the serpentine belt. I no longer have any squeaking noises. The invoice also shows that they replaced the compressor (drive) belt, but he didn't say anything about that. They split the cost with me, so for $28.86, I thought that was fair. The tire thing is a-whole-nother story.

 

The serpentine and drive belt are the same thing. Maybe I am not understanding you correctly.

 

So wait, if the drive and serpentine belt are the same thing, and you split the cost with them, does that mean the dealership got clever here and billed it as two items to get you to actually pay 100%.

That would be messed up!

 

Looks like they only replaced the serpentine belt one of those is probably the labor to replace it. They probably normally charge $55 for it.

 

Yeah, $28 is a good price for the part and the labor.

 

he didnt get ripped. It's why there's N/C (no cost) for the cause and remedy.

 

Hi, Hope you still check in.. I've had squeeling and chirping noises from the motor on my 07 TL, especially before warming up. Did this bulletin fix up the problem at the time? Its coming from the belt area. I appreciate your inquiry. Thanks

 

I can't speak for everyone else, but the belts that my dealership replaced took care of all of the "squeeling" noises. See the photo of my invoice in the above post.
