Hi guys,
Having a some strange engine noise. It sounds like that rattling noise that diesel engines make. There's 132,000 km on it, I service regularly from the dealer. The dealer wants to investigate, but I just want to get some input from you all. Does anyone have a simular sound coming from their engine? Anyone have any idea what maybe causing it? I just want an idea so I can prepare myself on what to expect for repairs and costs, as it is no longer under warrenty. Aside from that sound the car runs smoothly. Thx for all your time in advance.

Re: 2006 Civic EX 4 dr sounds like a Diesel engine?
No I haven't done the valve lash adjustment, the technician did not mention anything like that. What does this procedure involve? how much does it usually cost? I'm suspicious that they're trying to milk me for money. I just wanna go in well informed.

thx for your time =)
If you don't trust them, get rid of them... IE once the car is out of warranty, get away from the stealership to a more trustworthy mechanic that you won't be concerned is going to milk you for every last cent you've got.

Well I've always been using this dealership for this civic since the begining. I don't know any other mechanics that I go to regularly. That's why I'm asking here for ppls opinion so I can go in with better knowledge of what to expect.

then its time to go visit shops and see who looks like they are doing an honest job. the dealership is nothing special, in fact most techs working there are high school graduates with minor training that dont really know or care about cars. i have plenty of horror stories from the dealer that would make you never go again. anyway, valve adjustment involves removing the valve cover and using a feeler gauge to measure the clearance of the valves and adjusting back to factory specs (the specs are listed under the hood on the emissions sticker). should cost around $100, prolly 150-200 at the dealer. it should only be done when the car is completely cold so you need to leave the car overnight.
