Hi everyone
Can anyone help me understand what this problem is and advise if I should keep driving it/take it to a garage/scrap yard (only joking )
This morning on start up my Honda Accord 05 non face lift icdti on 140k had a very loud screeching noise coming from the engine bay!
I left the engine running for all of about 1 minute...or until I saw smoke coming out of the bonnet gaps on the drivers side.
I turned it off straight away, waited a minute and started it again and it began screeching again so turned it off. I opened the bonnet but everything looks ok...no belts have come off or look damaged.
The ac was turned off if that helps (read a bit about failing ac compressor clutches on the net) - the heating for the inside of the car was on but not ac...as far as Im aware.
I've been back out to the car approximately 1 n half hours after and it started fine and with no screeching or smoke....
Confused what it is and what to do next.... :wacko:
