    Hello, first time caller, long time listener. I was doing the timing belt job on my Pilot and I turned the crankshaft with a breaker bar without the woodruff key present. I encountered resistance that made the breaker bar spring back a few times, then I removed the crank pulley bolt with an...

    The repairs of the used honda pilot continues! So just recently this new sound appeared. Occurs only during cold start but will hear a scratching noise everytime the car is just about to shift, so I'm baffled as to what the sound is. I'm suspecting it's something related to the timing belt...

    So I’m doing my first TB job on a 2013 pilot everything going smoothly until pulling pin on tensioner. After rotating engine by hand when the crank mark is lined up the cam gears are 1 tooth before the timing marks. When the cam marks are lined up the crank is 1 tooth past the timing mark. Do I...

    Hey folks. 2007 Pilot with 210k. Fired it up this evening and I could hear the tell tale clickety clack of the timing belt. Within two minutes the sound was gone and engine is running normal. So I assume it’s the timing belt tensioner. Although I guess it could be the accessory belt tensioner...

    Hey all, I just finished a very meticulous timing belt and water pump job on my 2006 Honda Pilot LX 4WD. The only other thing I changed was the passenger front engine mount, which very well could be the only reason for the clunks, as the other mounts are 155k miles old. The engine runs like...

    I went to replace my timing belt and unfortunately ran into a major problem or at least in my head a major problem. Everything I saw prior to doing the job said don’t take the time belt off until you set the timing to make sure crank and cams are lined up with cyl 1 at TDC. When I was doing the...

    Hi guys, I am in the middle of changing my timing belt and never noticed the play in the gear. I’ve added a short little video and wondering if this is OK I’ve done this several times but have never really noticed this much play before I have a key coming but I don’t really think that’s the...

    Hello everyone, Been lurking for about 6 months. Pulled the trigger on a 2012 EX-L 4WD with 163k miles back in December. It had a great maintenance history and the price was right. Well obviously there is an oil leak... I just paid 1,500 to have the 'Variable Valve Timing Solenoid Gasket'...

    All, I recently changed my wife's timing belt (and what an epic fiasco that was, mostly due to my hubris). A few weeks afterwards, I noticed a rattling sound from the engine bay. My wife took it to the awesome and honest mechanic we know and he whipped out a stethoscope and determined it was the...

    Hi all, I need help diagnosing this intermittent noise and sounds like from the pulley/belt tensioner area. The 2016 Pilot EX AWD car has 130kmiles and just had a timing belt service few days ago (new timing belt, tensioner, water pump, drive belt, drive belt tensioner). The pilot now has this...

    Hey everyone! Hope the new year is going well for everyone so far. A little about me: I've owned a few different Hondas. All four cylinder models and enjoyed working on those quite a bit. So as my family grew naturally the size of our vehicles did. When we were in the process of looking for...

    Died and coasted getting up to speed getting on interstate @3500 4000 rpm. These codes were up and I cleared them trying to reset stuff on the side of interstate 57, the 02 is always there but the lean after going through water and changing plugs and drying upper plenum, it triggers the vtm...

    Hi people! Anybody knows if there is a way to find what would be the parts (with part numbers) I would need to buy to change the Timing Belt for my Pilot Touring 2011? I know some people use the VIN to search for that... Any hint? Thanks
  16. 2012-2015 Pilot
    Hi guys, I'm new to the forum. My wife's 2012 Pilot is in need of all code b 14 work (spark plugs, timing belt, and rear diff fluid; but since it's FWD, I don't think diff fluid applies ;)). I was able to follow a Youtube video and change the timing belt on my 2002 Honda Civic by myself, so...

    Hello gents and ladies of the Piloteers world! I was helping my coworker last Friday to change his timing belt (2014 honda pilot). We had a major setback and got a P0303 or it could be worst. To what extent could be the damage? Narrative below: The timing belt job was almost done. It was...

    All - I have learned a crazy amount from all of yours posts/comments, which have empowered me to make many successful repairs on my 09 and 11 Pilots and 08 Ridgeline. Today, I'm writing about my 2011 Pilot Touring, with 262K miles. I was recently on a road trip when I lost acceleration and...

    I'm holding this 2007 EX. It has 53k miles and they're asking $10k. Exterior and interior is near perfect. Shifts smooth, rides smooth, no creaks or bumps. Took pics of rust spots. see below. The A/C doesn't work. The air does push out the front vents, not the back vents. I know this will...
