hello. I just got my timing belt/water pumped replaced on my 2005 accord ex v6. I have noticed that there is a loud squeaking/squealing noise now coming from the timing belt area. It is constant at idle and while driving. Any ideas to what this could be? Should I be driving it?

Thanks!

 

It could be the timing belt idler, or timing belt auto-tensioner and/or adjuster. If this was done by someone else, I would take it back. I wouldn't recommend driving it too much for now.

 

I would take it back, and tell them to try again, or refund the labor charge so you can have someone else do the job. Who did this job? Dealership? Did they use OEM parts? I read something about a TSB on this issue, but I can't find it right now. Something about the water pump body being machined wrong, and causing the pulley to mount at an angle. The TSB involved adding a shim plate between the water pump and pulley.

 

I found it.
