2004 Honda euro luxury vibration at 2000rpm

quick reply indeed, still up apparently

Thanks for your advice, yes, what's done is done and I should just think this way: even wasn't run in the best but with today's high manufacturing standards, it won't be a disaster anyway!

I don't hear it anymore with my current intake, so let's see if the Euro owners who have CAIs also have this problem.

Tony1234, do you have this problem with your Icebox (and stock header)?

Have other Euro owners found that adding a CAI resulted in not feeling this resonance at 2000RPM?

Didn't have this with stock airbox and don't have it with Icebox and k&n filter.

Lucky you. This is the only thing that still really annoys me about my Euro and I still don't know whether it is meant to exist or not. If there was a way off getting rid of this resonance then I would.

I find that the hook that holds the bonnet down when closed is not tight enough and allows the bonnet to move up and down a few mms causing a rattling sound at low rpms and take off. I have fixed this sound and a few other euro friends of mine by putting some electric tape around the hook to make it tight enough when closed. You can replicate this sound easily by pressing down on the front of ur bonnet and releasing again repeatedly, I'm pretty sure all Euros have this problem, and it would be the first thing I would fix before other rattles because it took me a while to realise that the noise was actually from outside.

You must have good ears to hear that noise from inside. I have just had my whole bonnet changed so I wouldn't expect and ill fitting compents this early in the piece.

Old thread but as some may know I have the vibration above 2000rpm too butcan't find the other thread, it's like buckled wheels but under load only.
Took it to Honda yesterday but they still have my car to fix the 2 recalls on the Euro. Talked to the tech and he recons its the CV joint, lets see if he is right, somehow I think it is Head related.

**Crapdaz** · 26-03-2009 06:37 AM

i would have either considered lugs or hub problem/ wheel bearing.

Or

Your choice of CV joint.
When is the last time you balanced and aligned your wheels?

Btw what sort of vibration is it jerky bumpy sort of vibrationg or constant droney? and what mods on your euro if any.

**aaronng** · 26-03-2009 07:38 AM

A CV joint would give a knocking sound. Not really a vibration. And my Euro had this 2000rpm vibration from new.

I seem to find it's more noticeable when going down a hill with my foot completely off the accelerator pedal at 2000RPM as opposed to going up a hill at 2000RPM. I don't know why the difference but.

Different throttle position = different air flow through intake = different resonance point.
