    hello can you tell me the parameters of the new spring
    the thickness is 63mm
    the length and diameter are ???

      The new spring is 0.63 mm, while the old one is 0.51 mm, making the new spring stiffer than the old one. It seems that the primary cause of the Honda rattling issue is a design flaw. The mechanism’s operation depends on both spring stiffness and the time required to build up oil pressure. Over time, as the car ages, the spring stiffness decreases, causing the VTC pin to release early before sufficient oil pressure has built up. This issue may also be worsened by the longer oil pressure build-up time in older cars. A slightly stiffer spring can resolve this, but if it’s too stiff, the VTC pin may not unlock at all, leading to a different error code.

      @@mksckumara Hi Kumara! I would be very grateful if you could provide the measurements of the spring, specifically the length and thickness. The diameter of the coil is already clear.
      Thank you in advance!

    Hey Kumar! I have similar issue with 2015 CRV , just wondering if the problem came back after changing the spring ?

      No, rattling issue gone, use Spring-Start extreme kit. Or you can try a spring with little bit higher tension. But don't increase it too much,
