Mine after removing: Suddenly appeared on highway and made terrible knocking sound. Stopped immediately the car and thought that engine was blown :D However the pulley wobbling quite remarkable and clearly visible. The rubber was almost gone and there is no way it could just make this "quiet"...

I just did an overhaul to both rear calipers and this is what I found. One side had both pins with flat sides and the piston was somewhat okay. The other side had one completely round pin and another with flat sides. Unfortunately I didn't check which was which, but I put them back according to...

Actually you should interchange them. https://www.paulstravelpictures.com/2008-2010-Honda-Accord-Premature-Rear-Brake-Pad-Wear-Repair-Guide/

Seems to be reproducible with 1st and 2nd gear at 2100-2500 RPM. Might be also with higher gears, but the road noise is too then too loud.

What could be the cause for metallic rattle? It kind of sounds like a loose heat shield and it happens only when accelerating, but not always. Revving the engine on neutral or lifting both front wheels up and accelerating doesn't reveal anything. It could be CV shaft also. Then it should click...

Took mine apart and the wipers move just fine. It's the motor itself that makes that loud-ish sound you can hear inside the car.

I kind of hear mine, too. 2008 2.4 saloon

It's the little black switch on the right of the trunk light. http://i.imgur.com/1siPjEB.jpg

Saloon has a switch inside trunk to prevent the lid opening from outside. Just take a look where the trunk light is located.

Nice hack, gonna try it. Thanks!

If it's already knocking, you should be able to move it sideways (without belt even rotate) by hand since the rubber damper from pulley is gone. See the video I posted earlier and you'll get the point. It also wobbled quite hard when the engine was running.

As long it has 7 ribs and is 1785mm long, it'll fit as a short version belt.

My Accord's taillight was flooded with water. Took the light off the car, dried and re-sealed with weather-proof silicon all round. Haven't seen a single drop of water there since!

The dealer told me it's some Opel's belt when I bought the shorter one, so it should be available on most shops without ordering. Lenght: 1785 mm

Let us know if you find a solution.
