Hope you get it fixed.


Quick question, OP sorry to deviate a bit, good car to buy, this 08 MDX?.

Yes, it has been fixed, they brough out the engine and returned it back after fixing the thread. It's running fine so far.

Talking about mdx, I really like the car, cant speak for everyone else, but I am a lover of it.

Dwarfgod:
First, start with elimination of possible cause... (one) is removing the propeller shaft entirely and drive without it. It's safe to drive without it, no harm to the engine or gear.... since you said it comes with noise, cranking noise underneath, right? If so, i suspect the propeller bolts in the middle, which is bolted on the body of the car is lose.
NB: i don't mean the iron hanger that cross over the propeller shaft.

Secondly, check the rpm/speed the noise starts happening...

Bad engine seating will not cause cranking noise, you will get vibration at idle and a loud thud shifting the gear from P to R/D. Bad Front engine seating will cause torque steer accelerating hard from a stop. Change it if bad to avoid damage to you inner cupshaft!

You can check your engine seating to know which is bad through power braking. Open the engine bay and have someone put your car in Drive and hold the brake firmly, and gently press the throttle pedal at 1500 to 2k rpm to check the engine movement. A little movement with resistance means your seating is in good shape but obvious movement means the seating is bad.
Note: when power braking and gear in "R" you are testing the rear engine seating. And when gear is in "" you are testing the front one.

Reminder! Your front engine seating has a vacuum tube connected to engine which it uses to damping vibration and hardening during quick acceleration. Don't forget to connect it!!

All these have been checked, the conclusion is that the problem is the threaded holes in the engine block. The threads are stripped. They may need to bring out the engine.

Lets hope they sort it out.
Two likely causes for the rattle

1. Loose heat shield. This runs all the way from the manifold all the way to the rear of the exhaust
2. Bad exhaust hangers

For the vibration, check the following
1. Engine and trans mount
2. Propeller bolts and center casing
3. Brake discs. These shake the car in the manner you described.

Ok, thank you for the advice.

Thanks a lot, this will be really helpful.

This acura mdx is which year?
Any other previous work other than this?
Are you in lagos?

Lagos, yes, the vibration increased with much noise, I have parked it, not to be driven until it is fixed. It has been pickedup and I have been told that two of the engine seats are faulty. I will know for sure by tomorrow.

Dwarfgod:
Car year? Mileage??

Acura mdx 2008. 144k

Dwarfgod:
What's wrong with your car first? Brief the problem, to get an insight, before searching for a mechanic.

Cracking noise from the exhaust. Fixed twice by a panel beater, nothing changed, mechanic checked and said he adjusted the propeller to prevent it from touching other metals. The noise went away but now the car is vibrating seriously with noise when accelerating. The steering, seats, even car charger are vibrating loudly.

The issue of quack mechanics in Nigeria is becoming an epidemic. Can anyone kindly recommend someone or people in Lagos who actually know what they are doing? Especially for acura.
