Honda Crv 2012 Rattle Sound On Starting by newman10(m): 8:16pm On Mar 23, 2020
Hi sirs, for sometime now, my 2012 crv gives this rattling sound when I start the can in the morning. Just only first starting of the day. Someone said it's the VTC actuator that's is bad and that changing it will only cease the sound temporarily. He further said its Honda issue.

Has anyone gone through same issue? How did you solve it please?

Btw, there is no error code on the dashboard

Thank you in advance

You are right. It's just like 2sec. Wont there be any effect if used like that for a long time?

You would have got rid of the car long before the issue degenerates.
What type of oil are you using by the way?

Car runs great. I have no reason to get rid of it.

Oil is being changed at Honda place. I haven't gone there to complain about this sound cos I want to seek people with the type of sound and what they did first

The plain truth is one of your chain or sprocket ie for oil pump, is having issue. This is caused by wear through oil type used. Last effect of the engine will be total damage of engine, but if early measure is observe now, then it can survive it.

The culprit is a failing VTC Actuator. You can read it up on Honda TSB No A09-010 released on 17th March 2016. Mainly affects Honda 2.4L engines. The replacement part Number is 14310-R5A-305. I'm sure radautoworks can help you bring it in from USA or maybe you source locally from gazzuzz ( gazzuzzlogistics ).

True. No reported engine damage as a result of this. Just the annoying rattle noise on cold starts.

Your camshaft or crankshaft actuator is having a bit of a clearance. When you park the vehicle, the oil drains out. At startup, the clearance causes the rattle which quickly goes away as oil is forced into the cams.
I had a similar problem which I cared by changing cams though I caused it myself.

That being said, saying you service your vehicle at Honda place doesn't answer the question of what type of oil you are using.
I have come across dealers who use the wrong oil spec to service vehicles.

Next time you take your car there, use cunny man sense find out which oil they are using to service your vehicle.

I won't be surprised if it's not the recommended or a very low grade oil which started your problem.

Thanks everyone. Oga gazzuzz what's your input sir. Do you also think I can use the car this way without any issues on the long run?

I appreciate all responses

Vtc actuator is bad. Using it like that will only result in uncomfortable noise. Replacing parts is the best way to solve it.
