Alright I thought the motor was a little noisy but nothing crazy. I would have messed with this myself but I told her to take it to the dealer. We got it back and the motor is silent when running. If you think you can avoid this then don't. You will appreciate the quietness and the seems to rev better too.

So the point here: Get your MIVEC adjusted!

 

you mean valve lash?

 

how many days it was on the dealer ?

 

I'm interested, whats going on! haha

 

I think he's talking about the valve lash or some kind of reflash for the ECU

 

No, that reflash is death for us who run. makes your car slower

 

This is correct!

It took the dealer less than 2 hours.

 

Joe, did they perform the adjustment while the engine was hot? one dealership is telling a member the adjustment needs to be done cold, and everything everyone has read/heard/researched points to hot, not cold.

 

For B series Honda VTEC this is a normal maintenence thing. I used to do mine every 20k or so

 

The car was brought in from driving it across town so I think that would be hot...

 

it is normal maintenance for us as well, recommended every 30k

 

How much did it cost?

 

This is me we speak of...
and i was thinking maybe it was because the engine was clicking...
(he asked me when i called, and i just thought about that)
[just a possibility]

I agree it would be hot...

id like to know this too...
i was estimated over the phone at $90/hr x 2 hrs ($180)


also i heard that there was a reflash on our ecu's that had to be done
as well as per recall?

 

are you serious?
how is that possible?

 

2 hours for a valve lash? WTF I can do it in 30 minutes.
