Looks like I am beeing screwed by local honda dilership sercice center, so VERY need your help.

For last 1.5 month my 04 S2k with 28K miles started to have this annoing noise.
The car sounds perfect when ideling and in any RPM range when cold. When you drive withing street speed limit it's stil fine. But after you take it to a highway and run for few minutes, then this noise comes on. It's very rythmic noise from the engine, not sure how to describe, ticking or clicking, goes faster as RPM go up. But even when engine is hot there is no noise ideling, only between 2500-4000 RPM, then kinda goes away. Nothing else is wrong.

So its in the dealership, and I think they f&$%ing with me, saying they need to take have of engine apart, the whole repair about $2000.

So any help regarding this noise is appreciated!!!

Thanks guys.

 

sounds like normal valvetrain noise to me, using sythetic oil like amsoil will make it less noisy

 

dear god, please pull it out from the dealer, even if it is my bad call, im not a mech. but i know it is completely normal to hear that sound. with the top down its hard not too. feel out the threads here before taking it. im a newbe too but what you are describing is absoulotly normal, and not even the tct.

 

check the oil
