Hello everyone,
I have a 2006 Accord, Petrol - Automatic. 137K mileage. Got it 6 months ago from 1st owner with full service history.
About a week ago, soon after I take the exit on motorway and stop at red lights, I heard Rattling/Grinding noise coming from my car.
Straight away I checked the RPM and it was much lower then normal. About 500 RPM. So both problems started at the same time.
Since that day, Idle RPM is lower than before. But idle is OK in cold start, soon engine reaches normal temperature, idle is low.
I showed to a local garage, he said that noise should be Water Pump.
Do you have any idea how both these problems came at the same time ? If Water Pump is faulty, can it lower the RPM ?
If I turn on head lights RPM slightly increase but not much. Also if I turn steering wheel on idle RPM increases slightly.
The noise is still there, doesn't matter on low or high RPM. Engine temperature gauge shows that temperature is always OK. So no problem with over heating.
If you think I need to change Water Pump, do you recommend genuine or any other aftermarket, and how much is rough price mechanics charge for water pump change.
Thank you.
