Hello,
Have just joined the forum, apologies if this has already been discussed, I've not found this elsewhere. Hopefully someone can advise.
I have a Honda Accord 2006 2.0 ivtec, its my pride and joy. Has a full service history and is well taken care of, never abused and every so often I'll make sure the vtec is 'exercised' once the engine is warmed up.
This issue im having was noticed whilst exercising the vtec this week, when flooring the car it is smooth up to the point where it passes 6k revs, from then to red line im getting a strange crackling/rattling noise coming from the passenger side to the front of the car (engine area).
I've never noticed this before and its a strange noise to describe, possibly never noticed before as its not too loud and the stereo has been on.
The car itself drives fine, i dont think its vtec related as I can notice it fly after the 4500 revs and when idle the vtec limiter is not passing 4500 revs.
I have only been able to test this in 1st and 2nd gears but pretty certain it will do the same through all gears. I can obviously avoid this by not going pass the 6k rev mark but when it comes to the Accord I like to keep everything as it should be.
Anyone have any ideas?
Much appreciated
