I just bought a new Accord V6. I recently noticed hearing like a metal scraping sound coming from the engine under the hood on my driver's side. This only happens when the car has been idle for a while and only 5-10 seconds after I start driving (I hear nothing when braking). I turned the car off and started it again to try to hear the sound but I guess because the car has been warmed up I don't hear the sound again. Other than that the car runs fine like it should when it's new.

Any suggestions what this could be? Thanks.

 

do you have an aftermkt intake that could be rubbing?

 

Hmm...I really have no idea what and where that is. Is it something I can just pop my hood and adjust? And see if it's possibly rubbing against something? If it's just a minor thing that is.

 

Could it be your belts?

 

well what year is it >

I just bought an '04 Accord.

I plan to take it in next week for checking. Just wondering what the problem could be on my brand new car. It's just so annoying.

 

welll there u go its new take it back... you paid top doller for something that should not make that noise at all if you check it your self you might just void the warranty

Yeah, what he said

 

Yeah, I know. Thanks all.

 

"3966 miles: road tested car and confirm customer complaint, found both front brake backing plates hitting rotors. removed wheels and rotors and adjusted backing plates, re- road tested, ok at this time mileage out 3978."
They have also replaced the rear drums, or at least said they did, and then had to grind to round because a warp feeling came back about 1000 miles after the drums were replaced.

Well, let's see, just bought new accord. Post is dated 9/11/04. Maybe it's a 2004 or 2005!
