Hello
I am looking at an acura tsx 2004 with 190 000 km auto

I am going to buy it for 8000(canada alberta, not sure if good price also) but there was one problem about the car, when driving ( not sure 1 or 2 gear) i went and redline it. When it got to 6000 rpm to 7000(did not feel push for vtec )i heard something weird, I could not really tell if it was the engine or transmission> Its like a buzzing ticking sound. also been service at acura too. foreverything , so i could not really tell.

I wanted to get a acura el 1.7 but i can find one to my needs.

also that was my first time driving an tsx drove another one , heard something like it but not as loud

Thanks

Were you able to replicate it? It's kind of vague but are you familiar with the Vtec sound? I hope you aren't mistaken the vtec sound for that. The vtec sound has a very distinct scream to it, the the upper rpm ranges and is pretty loud.

 

My 2004 TSX has been broken into twice in the last six months in the Cow Hollow neighborhood of San Francisco. Just like the break-ins noted by other TSX owners in this forum, mine were unforced entries as well. The first time I thought I forgot to lock my doors so I didn't do anything about it. My bluetooth headset was taken. My owners manual and registration were left alone, thank goodness. The second break-in occurred this past weekend. My car battery was taken this time.

 

I really hope they issue a recall or SOMETHING that takes care of the 2004 TSX. It's a job I don't want to pay for and can't make a guaranteed diagnosis of and I would love if they just fixed it like they should have all along.
