Recently purchased a 2011 Odyssey with 160k miles. Noticed a load tapping under heavy acceleration. Changed timing belt and it's still doing it. Hear it mainly on left (sitting in driver seat). Engine runs smooth besides this tapping. It will also do it with car sitting still and just running up the rpms. Any suggestions?

 

Hi Jlj21usmc,
I have a similar issue with my 2011 Honda Odyssey.
Did you ever find what the cause was?

Thank you,
Josh

 

@wjgottwald The timing belt tensioner will make that noise, and the drive belt tensioner will do it too, but it will have more of a rattle sound.
