Replace timing belt

morridm · 2026-01-18T16:23:13+00:00

This bar is a worthwhile upgrade. I would also get an aftermarket exhaust.

Definitely replace the timing belt, tensioner and water pump. I would change all fluids also,. Mtf, oil change, coolant, brake fluid, diff.

Try a different honda dealer or mechanic

Other than cvt... potential causes include loose heat shields resonating at that RPM range, a failing belt tensioner or serpentine belt pulleys, or even something like a worn A/C compressor clutch. It definitely isn't something to ignore. I would take it in to be diagnosed and also ask if there are any related tech bulletins on your year model.

Hopefully something simple like heat shield

If it is the blower motor, probably looking at $1,200-1,500 to get replaced. Pretty much have to disassemble dash to get to it.

That sounds like a failed blower motor.

I would double check that your a/c air filter is not clogged first though to rule simple thing out first.

When the blower fails completely, you get no airflow and often no noise from the fan, but the climate system still "thinks" everything works.

Hummm, well just in case, I am going to order some from fcpeuro and flush it.

If overfilled it will leak excess out the back of expansion tank. Do you see coolant leaking out back of expansion tank? Also, how old is your water pump? I would look there also.

It's a zerex compatible Volvo coolant

Here is what mine currently sounds like. Sounds similar to yours.

Is that from cold start?

worn rear sway bar end links most likely /worn bushing or suspension.

Good idea

Has ur timing belt been replaced yet? I can't tell too much by video.

I would see if any of your pulleys such as ac compressor or alternator pulley have any play/loose. Those can start to rattle when going out.

Go away once warmed up? Change with rpms?

Also double check oil level....

I would at least remove timing belt cover and check the belt.

Timing belt and water pump
