Hi everyone,
I’m experiencing a strange issue with my Honda Fit and hoping to get some advice from the community.
A noise comes from the front of the car when accelerating, starting at around 40 km/h and up.
The sound is like "shkk shkk" and only happens when I press the gas. It disappears when I release the accelerator or when the car is in neutral.
The noise is intermittent—it doesn’t happen all the time.
What I’ve Checked So Far:

I tried revving the engine in neutral, and the noise doesn’t happen.
The car drives fine otherwise, and there are no warning lights on the dashboard.
Today, I recorded a video of the noise while driving. I’ve attached it here so you can hear exactly what’s going on.

Tell us more about your car. What kind of transmission does it have? How many KMs on the odometer? Any recent service or repairs?

My shot-in-the-dark is that the tensioner pulley bearing is going out, base on my experience with my car. But I'm curious to see.


Also, welcome to the club.

 

My car is a 2013 Honda Jazz 1.5 with an automatic transmission. It has 55k miles on the odometer.

Interestingly, I recently had the belt and tensioner pulley replaced, and I started noticing the noise after that. The pulley I installed is a Taiwanese aftermarket part, so I’m wondering if that might be the issue.

Thanks again for your input—I really appreciate it!

 

Also, the alternator pulley had some noise before, but I haven’t replaced it yet—maybe that’s contributing too.

 

its going to the be the Taiwanese aftermarket part.. and why did you change it at such low miles >? i barerly changed mine its at 260k
