Dieseling/Knocking on Honda Odyssey engine
I remember reading a while back on a similar
problem but could no longer locate it. I have a
Honda Odyssey that I just purchased from the dealer
from hell (Dan Young in Indianapolis) and notice
the engine is making a dieseling/knocking sound
when the overdrive kicks in. I brought it back and
got several answers ranging from:.."it is
normal.." to .."It is the injector noise.." I
asked the mechanic to try theirs and see if the
noise was their. IT was not. I am wondering if
anyone experienced this and what the outcome was.
Thank you

I just brought my 99 Odyssey (bought in Feb. 1999--a first new model with 22K miles) for a regular maintenance service this morning. Prior to this, I noticed that there is a minor leak in the transmission oil leak so I reported this problem to the dealer. This afternoon, I was told to bring the van back next week for a total transmission replacement under warranty. I am happy with the treatment by the dealership but... Then here are the questions that I have worth of a thought:
1. A minor leak seems to be an easy job to replace the gasket and refill the transy oil. Why does Honda go such a long way to replace the transmission? Is this a general business practice that Honda does all the time? I, by no means, complain about the serious treatment but...
2. Is there something that Honda knows about the transmission (problems) that I(we all) should perhaps know about? I did ask the dealership service personnel but he said what the Honda said--"Replace it." You know... I really don't know what it is... Blah, blah...
3. How do I know if they will replace with a brand new transmission to my van or a who-knows-what refurbished unit?
All I am trying to find out is to ensure that they will make it at least better than anything else.
Did anyone out there experience this transmission replacement requests?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Wing.
