ok - so heres the issue. I recently sold my mark 4 accord type V to move to a mark 5 CDTi exec tourer. When I bought it (1 week ago) it had 123k & (just about ) FHSH. I noticed a chain rattle when I checked it out but thought nothing nothing of it - I know chains can get rattley in higher mileage cars. I spoke to one of the dealers yesterday who had previously serviced the car - just to see if there were any service notes I needed to be aware of - nothing noted that I need to look out for. I asked him how I could quieten the chain down and he told me there is a TSB from the end of oct 08 detailing a warranty extension on the cdti to 6years & 125k to cover timing chain failure (!!!!!!!). Seemingly the chain can pick up any crud in the oil and wear and then fail. This is my worry - the car has been fully serviced by Honda up to 101k. It then appears to have missed a service at around 115k (although the small dealer I bought from gave it a light service including a fresh belly full of semi synth 10/40 & a Honda approved Motorquip filter at 123k). The car now has 123.4k (just within the 125k warranty extension). The Honda TSB fix seems to be a new chain, tensioner & oil pump - a big engine out job I understand - but much cheaper than a new engine. How much support am I likely to expect from Honda as I cannot find evidence of the "missing service at 115k?) How many services can be missed before warranties become void? I've had Honda's for years and have always trusted them implicitly - this is the first time I've ever been worried about their reliability.

I bought a 04 diesel with 65000 on clock last nov (08).about 2 weeks later heard noise from engine like a failed alternator bearing.went back to main dealer and they said could not hear anything unusual and would not investigate any further.I removed alternator belt myself and ran engine,the noise was still there,i think it is coming from timing chain area.before i go back to dealer how did you resolve your problem.
