according to the TSB, the vibration under the car thing is only a problem with the 01 LX/DX... i drive a Sedan LX 02 and i still get vibrations... not when water splashes on the exhaust, but snow or ice...
i only get that probelm when i drive over a puddle.. cat is hot so i guess it's the water splash popping.. you know when you pop your hood and it's kinda like drizzling outside and water drops on the exhaust manifold? the water makes that *pop* sizzle sound...
Hey I have the same crazy rattle from the front passenger seat also
everytime it rain.
dont know what it is,
i have a 2002 coupe auto and i thought i was the only one
I noticed it when I drove home from the dealership the day I bought the car. I couldn't figure out what it was. I thought the tires were out of balance.
I don't know if it went away or I just don't notice it anymore.
I have a 01/lx and i had that same problem, i went to the dealership and showed them the TSB and they said it's only applicable in US but i am in canada,. I insisted and got them replace the pipe B and the rattling was gone even going through puddles. hope this helps.
I think I've found the problem to this rattling. I got my buddy to check out my car when it was raining one day and he heard the awful bogging noise under the shifter and passenger seat. He works at honda and asked his forman. He later got back to me and told me that their was a problem with the catalytic converter with civics in the year 2001 and 2002. I'm from Canada so the warranty for this part is only 60,000km or 3 years. The actually price to replace the part is over 1000dollars Canadian. I can't believe it's not even a recall or anything, but only a service bulletin. Looks like I won't be driving the car in the rain or snow.
I had a rattling/banging noise coming from the passenger side floor only when it rains. It ended up it was my exhaust hitting under there. I do have custom exhaust piping though. Just thought I'd throw in my .02 cents.
mine did it one day leaving from girlfriends house, and i hit the puddle and it started doing it, and i was like WTF!?!?! i cant hydrolock with a SRI!!!
so i called Tristan (flyriceracer02) and explained it to me and calmed me the hell down... its pretty bad when you gotta call long distance to someone who is in a totally different state to get an answer !
