My 2009 is in for the Motion Springs recall now... video b4 and after plus TSBs

The before video of my engine bay:
YouTube - 2009 Honda Fit Engine Sounds Prior to Motion Springs Recall

They are also addressing the TSB for too optimistic MPG meter (lifetime average is 41mpg, it is reading over 50mpg right now) while it is in for service. I will post a video of the engine sounds after I get it back this evening.

On the one here, the nasty rattling noises you would hear upon acceleration from a cold start are completely gone after the recall.

NO Difference

Just did my motion springs recall 3 weeks ago. No change that is noticeable under any circumstances... idling, revving, accelerating, decelerating, etc. Seems all the same to me.

I wonder if the cold engine noises were from the dealer who adjusted the valves too loose on a previous repair.

My Post video was taken in the parking lot of the dealership. I believe my engine was cold. *shrugs*
