Squealing noise
I am trying to see if anyone knows what is going on with my car. I have a 2004 Honda Accord and just recently, I started hearing this light squealing noise coming from my engine area. It sounds very loud from inside the car, but I can’t really hear it standing outside the car. It only comes when I am idling, as soon as I press the gas, it stops. It does not seem to be causing any problems to the way my car drives, the sound is just really annoying and I would like to know what it is so I can get it fixed. I already had the main belt replaced, and that did not help at all. Does anyone else have this problem?

Re: Squealing noise
Still sounds like a belt problem. Use a little belt dressing or adjust the belt tension. Sometimes a glazed belt refuses to settle down. New belt.
check: alternator belt power steering belt air conditioning belt |

2. If the noise is coming from the belt area, it may be the belt if your are not using Honda OEM or a quality aftermarket belt. Or my guess would be the auto-tensioner. The attach image is the auto-tensioner for a 4 cylinder (for the 6 cylinder, slightly different part). It may just be the idler pulley (#5) needing replacement or the whole tensioner assembly (#5). The whole assembly isn't that much more than just the idler pulley. Btw: Is this a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder?

check: alternator belt power steering belt air conditioning belt Generally, it is best to avoid belt dressing. It'll quiet the squeal for a day or two by making the rubber gummier. The squeal will come back and there still will be gummy belt dressing on parts of the engine. |

Re: Squealing noise
Still learning as a noob, but I read that accords have noise canceling projectors that should cancel out the noise. If it is a loud squealing noise, it may not be the problem but could be. Feel free to correct me cause i maybe wrong.

Re: Squealing noise
I had the same problem when it was cold. You don't think you here it when you drive but it's there. There is a technical bulletin about replacing a smaller o-washer on the power steering pump that gets dried out and allows air to escape hence the "squeal". The Tech said the o-washer usually fixes the problem 99% of the time. I thought there was a sticky on this somewhere.
I had the dealer fix it and they took 20 mins and charged me $32. The part was $1.35... |

Re: Squealing noise
Is there any difference in the belt of model 2004 and 2005 ??
I want to change the belt but the one i purchased is not properly fitting . |
Re: Squealing noise
I have the same problem. The wining noise usually only happens on a cold start. I have figured out that it is coming from the powerstering motor, so it is probably a belt problem.

Re: Squealing noise
I have the same issue on my '03 Accord LX 4cyl. It's not a belt noise, no question. I thought the power steering pump might going out at first, but there is no noise at all when steering and I have never heard any typical whinig noises from the pump or on start up. It is most definitely the idler pulley (IMO). The noise I hear is a very soft, but very high pitched sound of rubbing metal. It's as if the pulley is slightly misaligned and is rubbing. If I look closely at the pulley on my car, I can see the belt move from side to side. It is hardly noticeable, unless you know what to look for. I would start with replacing the idler pulley or auto-tensioner assembly and see where that gets you.

The 7th and 8th gen Accords use a single drive belt for A/C compressor, alternator, power steering pump, and water pump. Generally, it is best to avoid belt dressing. It'll quiet the squeal for a day or two by making the rubber gummier. The squeal will come back and there still will be gummy belt dressing on parts of the engine. |
