2008 - 2016 Honda Start Rattle , VTC actuator fix
If you get a rattle that last a few seconds in the morning this might be the fix. 2008-2016 Honda CRV, Accord.
Compression spring size:
7/32 x .025 x 1-3/8 long
To remove the 5 point special torx box I used a small vice grip to break them loose then unscrewed them by hand. I also replaced them to 10mm bolts for better and fast access. I’ll be making a video showing the process.
This is a rough guide. Use it to give you an idea of the steps of the procedure. And make sure not to drop anything into the engine! Many holes and crevices where the spring can bounce into. So proceed with caution and take your time.

2012 - 2016 Honda CR-V Transmission Oil And Filter Change Guide
Переглядів 8 тис.3 роки тому
2012 Honda Cr-v Transmission oil and filter change tools used: transmission oil change : 10mm socket, 1/4 drive 3/8 drive ratchet small tube funnel 19mm side wrench for leverage Filter change: 10mm ratchet side wrench ( life saver, good investment) 10mm socket and 1/4 drive Pliers Phillips screw driver 2wd takes 2.3 quarts AWD takes 2.7 quarts 3 Quarts honda ATF DW-1 filter part # 25430-plr-003...
My 2014 CRV also rattles when I put it in reverse when backing from the driveway after I let the car warm up.
So my 2014 rattles when in reverse as well is this part of the problem with the VTC?
Link for the spring?

Misleading title, garbage UA-camr
Mint mobile ads everywhere so darn ANNOYING
Probably should change title to 2012-2014 because 2015 started cvt Part number 25430-R5L-003 is correct for my 2012 CRV filter
Btw excellent video especially the location of the filter as seen thru the left wheel well
Does it matter if the drain plug is opened or not when you change the filter?
Wow next lvl shade tree don’t do this unless assisting bc you already messed up and stripped the torque head, just use the correct size in a 3/8 ratchet for more leverage if needed. Please learn proper mechanical practices keep the bit 💯 square and push the back of the ratchet head to keep it set while braking loose don’t let it slip this is a very easy job.
Bro, you are my hero!!! Those bolts are a bitch.
My 2014 CRV replace VTC,chain, bolt, tensioner, etc. 2 years ago at dealer. There wasn’t any rattle before. Code comes up, dealer replace solenoid work for 6 months, then replace whole VTC package. However, 2 years later rattle sound comes up, and I follow your step replace spring, rattle sound just gone. Thank you for your video.
Thanks for this
This man a mechanical badass…. Not only did he show us how to get the job done - but most importantly, and impressively, he did this whole project one handed - while holding the camera on point…. Appreciate genius where you see it 💯💎🫡
Looks like I'm going to have to live with the rattle noise.
Do you have an instagram account?
Great job on the video! This is better than voice over with the great detail you provide and the call outs. Excellent!
lmao… what nonsense. There’s a reason why you see two different CRV’s in the beginning, because the second one (blue one) started when already warmed up (no noise when warm). The one being worked on (gray one) doesn’t start up immediately after it was done because it would still make the noise lol. It doesn’t work, noise comes right back.
If you say so, look at the green mark on the AC line. It’s that worked for me. Thanks for your opinion though. Take care.
I need this done on my 2012 Honda crv bro where in New York y'all located? I'm in Manhattan
Email me, contact info on the description.
Ar.mechanic96@gmail.com, I’m not in NY but I can possibly make it happen.
how are you from Manhattan?
If you don't mind me asking what part exactly on the repair caused the rattling to stop? just curious not trying to sound condescending. :)
A small spring
Dont liseten to this pendejo!!! Your instructions are decent but your whole method is fucked up, when you use a wrench to try to turn the sprocket on the intake and you have a loose timing chain what you end up doin is you jump the chain and then when you put shit back together your timing is off... At best you will need a new timing chain and shit put back together, at worst you bend some valves and then you will need either a new head or a complete egine!!!! Then you end up having 3 times the amount of work you would have needed over taking the front right wheel off and using the crankshaft bolt to turn the chain over and getting all the bolts off !!!!!!!
But he doesn't have a loose timing chain.
I doubt I could do this job. Are you all using the genuine Honda spring? I haven't seen any mention of the part's source. Any idea about how much this fix would cost at a good repair shop?
Hi Joseph, send me a email at AR.mechanic96@gmail.com
2010 crv rattles on cold start and continuously rattles when driving could it be the chain?
Hi, it could be the chain or chain tensioner, hopefully it isn’t the rod bearings caused by driving with low oil.
Best video 😂 It was very difficult to find this gem, maybe in the title of the video it would improve if you put CR-v 2012 - 2016. Thanks for the video.
Gracias por el video, me ayudara a cambiar las bujías, solo me queda la duda de al usar torquimetro que presión llevan, al igual que hacer un lavado de válvulas
I'm a lil late to the party but will this fix also alleviate the feeling Like vtec isn't kicking in and it's a slug? Either way mine is so loud at start up il doing this immediately. Great video
Thanks, and it depends. I would clean the vtec screen filter that’s by the tensioner pulley. And the vtec oil solenoid. And do this fix. Best of luck, AR.
Will this work on a Honda Civic fn2 Europe model? it's a standard 4 cylinder K block engine too.
I’m working on a official kit. Should be completed soon.
Can anybody tell me how many miles does this problem occur ? Is it Mileage or lack of oil change ?
Usually high mileage, but also from low oil.
my 2014 CRV has 67000 miles and it started doing it at 61000. My milage is great, I'm getting 38 miles/gal on longer trips
where do you get the spring from?
Hi, I’m Working on the kit, should be available very soon.
I'm about to do this soon with the @spring-start kit. Does anyone know what the official torque spec for the cover bolts are?
Update: replace the security bolts with regular hex head bolts. If you use the ones marked 10.9 on the head, torque them down to 10 ft. lbs / 120 in. lbs and use blue threadlocker - the kind made to work on oily parts. If you use another grade of bolt, marked 8.8 for example, the torque spec will be less. You need to look up the maximum torque value for the hardware you select. The important thing is that the bolts ARE torqued to near maximum spec. These are NOT bolts you want coming undone while the engine is running!!!
Did the rattle fix with the spring-start kit?
@@mksckumara It improved, but did not fully resolve in my case. I also worked the locking pin over with some abrasives and replaced the timing chain tensioner.
Was going to replace actuator but the bolt was so tight, it got sharpened round pretty much as i tried tobreak it loose and couldnt. Will try to do this tomorrow using the spring of the new actuator thats now useless unless I replace the whole cam shaft. Hope it works. If anyone is interested in how it went some time down the line, feel free to reply to my comment.
Hey man ever get it done? Hows the result if so
@@rjc81698 neighbor was helping me and fucked up the vtc actuator bolt by using instead of 6 edged socket, a 12 edged one. Now the bolt is pretty round and even 6 edged can't help. But get a long breaker bar, maybe a pipe to get even more leverage. The bolt is tough
I went to the store to see if they got heat coils, that's when neighbor attempted to use 12 edged socket by himself
Hey UA-cam, my cousins dog got sick and she’s in a tuff spot. Anything helps, Thank you! And stay blessed. gofund.me/c43c6c8b
Hey man my car make this sound but it doesn't go away, I've set all valves to spec and it has gotten a little better but still rattling like that. Any idea's? Hope your cousin's pup is alright!
@@Storked Hi @William, other things to check are the timing chain tensioner and it’s components.
Where do you get that spring
Hi, hey where did you buy the spring?
So tell us what you are doing?
Best video by far on how to replace the transmission filter for a 2012. What connectors to remove to get more space, socket sizes, etc. I find that when taking the filter box out, it comes out a lot easier if you spray the connection points with silicone spray. Well done!
It didn’t fix my rattle.
Appreciate the Video ! Incredibly helpful but it would be INCREDIBLY helpful if you included just a few words as you went along. - ( for example ) It would be very helpful when you showed us the tools required if you simply gave a quick description. Plus a basic commentary & a few tips as you went along. Not criticism just trying to be helpful & get you more subscribers.
Yer a nub if you don’t know what these tools are
Thanks but ... speak just a Little. I appreciate the effort but damn ... at least give us the basics -via- a few words.
Where u get the spring from , what size
What's the torque spec for those 5 torx bolts?
It's not much, but to find out, take your torque wrench and set it to 5 ft. lbs. and try to break them free. That won't work, but it's where to start, because you will try again and go up 1 ft. lb. until they break free. Whatever is the setting that broke them free is what you need to tighten them back to.
8 ft lb
Como se llama esa pieza tengo un fit 2015 se la quiero cambiar me ayudas
Hey everyone, here is the links for the spring and other tools I used to get this done. Sorry for the late response, I had lost access to my channel and finally got it resolved. Hope this helps, hit that subscribe button to show support, stay safe! amzn.to/3DY3z4o amzn.to/3E0Za0D amzn.to/3UK93FW

Thanks so much
The spring isn’t available anymore. Is there another brand or link u recommend?
@@wmi5914 working on a kit at the moment, but Amazon should have it back in stock in a few days
@@armechanicshelpandrepair2052I checked again and it’s still unavailable. ONE YEAR LATER
Where do you get the new compression spring?
Pinned links
Hi. As anyone opened the front cover of their VTC Actuator and stretched the lock pin spring in it? If so, did it work out fine? Can it damage anything over time? Thanks
Nope, should be fine.
You have done many this way?
@@Daniel-xq7ny Not many but stretching the spring does not increase its uncompressed force significantly so there's little to no risk. It may not even fix your issues because the spring returns to its original shape with heat. The biggest risk is dropping something into the engine while the valve cover is off. TBH you could either live with the rattle, try this fix, or replace the VTC altogether. Depending on your mileage and service history, you may have luck using an engine flush additive and fresh oil change. The VTC has tight tolerances so any gunk/debris can reduce oil flow and/or ability return to the locked position. YMMV
@@AmritBanks Asking because on my 2010 CR-V I did stretch it a little than and no more rattle on cold start. But a little tapping noise started until hot and it was the chain tensioner. Was is just coincidence?
@@Daniel-xq7ny Probably, its a 12 year old vehicle so these parts start to wear out over time.
I just replaced the entire actuator. I wish I knew about this fix before. And more importantly, I wish I knew where to buy just the spring.
Has anyone did this on 2013 accord
Yes, I've done it, same procedure .
What bolt size do I need to replace the torx bolts?
I'll confirm the size this week
6x30
But what torx bit would work on the bolt itself?
One of the best videos I have watched on UA-cam no plenty explanation straight to fixing the problem and practical application and fixing the issues
thanks!!
I've found the failure to be a broken pin that holds the actuator in the locked position. Replacing the cam gear with the updated part fixed the issue. Not to bad of a job. Quite technical though.
What is the updated part number?
Since your pin/plunger was broken, your rattle happened every single time you started the engine then, right?
