2003 Pilot sometimes makes a tired, winding, whining noise... timingbelt?
The Pilot has about 55k miles on it, and sometimes makes this tired,
winding, whining noise when starting up or idleing. I want to say its a belt of some sort, but I've had the belts recplaced, but this didn't help. I did not have the timing belt repleced though, could this be the timing belt? I've pinpointed the noise to some belt directly (if you're facing the engine) left of the engine. It doesn't make the noise all the time and hasn't made the noise the few times I've been into the shop with it. I thought it had to do with the cold weather, but its warm out now, and it still makes the noise. The noise will start when I turn on the car and will progressively get louder and whinier as I accelerate, but seems to subside at higher rpms. The noise get louder when I turn the steering wheel. I'd describe it as a consistent "tired" kind of sound. If I had to spell it, it would "waaaaaa" sound that gets louder as I press the gas down. Any help? This is very annoying! And the more annoying thing about it is that all the times I've taken it in to the dealer, it didn't act up and the mechanics could not find anything wrong even when I pointed out where I thought the noise was coming from. Thanks, d |

As for added info, the sound sounds like when you go in reverse at a
high speed--that high pitched whining sound. And additionally, my AC is not working... I've read that the AC compressor sometimes makes a whining sound. Could this be related? |

I would be checking the transmission, listening for what
happens at different shift points. I see the Pilot only comes in automatic. Right?

I've pinpointed the noise to some belt directly (if >you're facing the engine) left of the engine. You might want to try looking on http://hondapilot.org forums to see if anyone has already experienced this. Also, I found this in the Honda Service News for April 2003 Noisy Power Steering Pump? Replace Reservoir On ’99–03 Odysseys and ’03 Pilots, the power steering pump will make a serious whining noise if the screen in the power steering reservoir is clogged. A partially clogged reservoir screen reduces the flow of power steering fluid to the power steering pump, causing cavitation and noise. To stop the noise, flush the system and replace the reservoir. If the vehicle has the Honda accessory towing package, check the accessory power steering cooler for rust inside the tubing. If you find any rust, replace the cooler. http://www.in.honda.com/Rjanisis/pubs/SN/a030400.pdf -- Mike Iglesias Email: University of California, Irvine phone: 949-824-6926 Network & Academic Computing Services FAX: 949-824-2069 |

Surprised your dealer hasn't mentioned it. 'Curly' |
