Hello.
As the ***le suggests, i'm getting a strange noise from my car. I'll try to provide some background info and maybe some suggestions can be thrown my way.
So the car starts and idles totally fine, no unusual noises. You can rev the engine while in neutral and there are no strange noises, however when driving the car i'm getting a loud chattering noise from what sounds like the the drivers side of the engine. It only happens when you are accelerating and is very noticable. If the car is just tootling along on the motor way then the noise is minimal and if you bring the turbo in, you can hear the turbo sucking in air and the rattling noise stops, Otherwise it just keeps chattering away when accelerating.
This noise was not present when I test drove the car to the best of my knowledge and I have read that these cars need the maximum amount of oil to function correctly. The garage did an oil change before they delivered the car and i'm wondering if they've not filled it up properly or maybe just used rubbish oil. I've spoke to my mechanic and he said the car has no faults and the computer isn't giving any errors on timing or anything like that. He also said the fluid levels are all ok but since he's not really a Honda guy, maybe its sat between min and max and that's usually ok for most other cars in his eyes.
He suggested that it wasn't the timing chain as other people have had theirs changed and apparently it still makes the same noise. I will maybe try and upload a video at some point.
Thanks for any help, it's appreciated as the noise is driving me nuts and i'm worried that something is going to go bang!
