Honda has had so many issues with timing chain noise, VVT actuators, oil dilution and V-6 VCT oil burning issues from 2010-current. I just replaced the tensioner on my 2016 Accord due to the cold startup rattle. Thank god it was easy to get to. The few shops I called were at least $400. The dealer wanted to replace the whole timing set for $1200.

Lol that's not shit a Honda dealer in GA wanted 3,500 dollars to replace the whole timing system and they simply refused to do a simple VTC replacement, kept making excuses on why too. Pathetic.

What😂😂😂 it's a 6 min video how did he not show anything. Ohhhhh its because u don't know how to work on cars or do timing ... ok

Waste my time because steps were skipped!

@Scott-xq2dm no he didnt waste time becuase I watched it in 6 mins instead of 23 mins and was able to do the job. How is a shorter video a waste of time. A waste would be watching him pull every little bolt and plastic clip and ever wrist turn. Just cuz you don't know which way to flick your wrist doesn't make this video a waste hahah you a waste hahaha

I get the noise even while driving when car is warm at low speed and light acceleration

Very good how-to post, thank you. Why would you risk using a Dorman part on this job. It is a potential profit buster for you when it fails and you possibly lose the confidence of a good customer.

He’s working for a chain more than likely; and chains only use autozone and advanced auto and Napa parts to get it in and out as fast and cheap as possible lol

I've seen the oems fail as soon as ten thousand miles, do you have a better option?

Sadly no. More and more you find that pcms and other electronic parts are being 'discontinued' earlier and earlier by the manufacturers. @@cheesecurd100s

It looked like the new part was already in the locked position before it was installed... That would not be good.

Just replace the VTC actuator locking pin spring to save money, time and risk of timing upset. "springstart VTC'

You should be fine, just make sure you have proper oil levels, check every 500 to 1000 miles

I've been told the Dorman are not reliable when used on the Fords, so they are ok to use on these Hondas ?

@joblessalex Жыл бұрын

Always use genuine OEM Honda everything on Hondas. I don't know why, but aftermarket anything never lasts on them. Hondas are weird and special.

@@joblessalex Gotta do this job this summer for our 2013 CRV but the problem is the honda made Actuator that is causing this rattle. Im probably gonna buy a different brand and risk it when I know the OEM honda part is defective. This should be a recall when plenty of people having the same issue.
