yeah, there is no air pump in the 06, but i appreciate the reply.

 

Then I would say it's not the air pump in your case.

 

I think it is the self adjusting calipers. Haven't noticed it mine but it could be a little quieter than yours.

 

Yeah, my '06 does the same thing. And my father's CR-V does it too. It more noticable in the CR-V. It's strange...it does it only when starting off cold.

 

I get the exact same noise in my 06. A volvo I had also made a similar noise. I figured it had something to do with a abs or traction control self test.

 

lol.. I had a clicking sound too on MY06.. turns out it was a sticker on the side of the engine that has the pulleys that partially peeled off. It was fluttering nxt to the pulleys. After I peeled the sticker off, no more clicking . I'm guessing the dealer forgot to peel off the sticker as part of the delivery procedure when I purchased my car.

 

Really? there isn't a secodary air pump in the 06's? What about smog regulations

 

The 06 meets emissions regulations without accessory controls due to the improved engine management sensors and ECU logic.

 

After reading this thread I'd have to say that I'd check the VSA first. That would be the most suspect change made, and after hearing about it from yesss on his crv, it would make sense. Try turning it off and then starting the car up (although this may not work as the system should still calibrate when the car is started so it is ready to be turned on at any point).

 

thanks guys, yeah, i'm figuring its just some system activating. i did the vsa check last night, but i didnt change anything. its nice to hear other 06's have the same thing. my guess, is that its something to do with the abs/vsa, cause there is just so much crap right in front of the fire wall on the left side. a lot of stuff that wasnt on my old 03.
