Just started doing this. A whine that sounds like a truck transmission. It follows the speed of the engine. It sounds like it's coming from the right front engine area (as you face the engine compartment). I figured belt? water pump? 145K. Anybody have a clue who's had a similar problem? I did an exorcism last night, so the possesion freaks please stay away :-)....

Could be a wheel bearing.
timing belt just about to fail. stop running it immediately! replace belt [and pump while you're in there]. go to tegger.com for links on how to do the job yourself. buy the helm manual as well.
Did not know timing belts gave you a warning - good info. Had one to go on an 80 accord - on starting - no valve damage.
only if you're lucky! if they're slack, they're quieter & less likely to make noise.
Into Honda tomorrow. I had the belt changed at 90K. I thought after
100K no more miantenance was needed...;-)I changed the brushes on the alt. in the summer. Wondered if it could be the alt?
It wuz the AC idler pulley $43 part, $109 work...
Thanks for the feedback!
