Mate check crank pulley too. Mine damaged itself and was eating into engine casing, mechanic said it had eaten 2mm or so into the metal after only being a fault for 90 miles - could've resulted in a huge bill if I left it much longer!
Run the engine and get a long screwdriver. Hold it against each pulley bolt. It will act like a stethoscope. You will hear a big difference with the bad one. Obviously be careful when putting a screwdriver near moving belts!
I'm going through the same issue with a low whirr from one of my pulleys. I've changed belt, tensioner and idler and now think it's the crank pulley. It goes away completely once the car has warmed up, but it's still bothering me. No idea if our 2 issues are connected, but hopefully we'll both cure the dreaded sounds soon LOL
Hey mate, I had the same issue replaced the top two pulleys but the sound was still there, thought it might have been the crank pulley but turned out to be the aircon pump pulley, the aircon doesn’t work in mine anyway to so I bought a shorter non ac belt to bypass the pulley. Hope this might help 🙂
Hi I'm having trouble with going into gear twice and it has popped out of 3rd a few times also when hitting vtec it takes time to go into gear just wondering if you have any idea if it would be clutch or gearbox any advice would be great as don't want to do 1 job then it be the other
Changing the gearbox oil always helps a bit. Mine also needed a clutch. The biting point is very low on these but if it's nearly on the ground it may need a new clutch. Other than that the most common fault is issues with the gear synchros. Which unfortunately means the gearbox needs taking apart and new synchros being fitted but as you can imagine, that's costly. Gearbox oil and possibly a clutch is the cheaper pleases to start though.

Brilliant thank you for the heads up!
Good work big fella, shame it wasn't the source but you'll get it! Always nice to see your content, especially if it has an FN2 in it!
Thank you mate. Don't worry we'll crack it 👍🏻
Ooooh shiney 😍😍 Omg no way, I thought that was the fix mate 😲😲 hope you get to the bottom of it my man 🤞🏼🤞🏼
I know mate I was guttered 😂 cheers matey 😊
Just had this on my mates fn2. It was the air con compressor, so I just put a shorter belt on as his air con was shot anyway

@@FNLEW you are welcome..got yourself another subscriber
good to see you back on the diy fn2 vids bud how is the family?
Thank you mate. Yes all doing great thanks.
Great video 👍 I’ve just received an idler pulley to swap out also 👍 thought you had fixed the noise, further investigation needed now 😳
Thanks mate. Ahh good stuff. So did I haha I'll work it out. 🤞🏻

Crank pulleys are at failure age on these now. They’re two part and the bonded rubber between them gives up, outer part will look to have a wobble
@@mr.airgun6921 cheers, will have a look :)
Don’t forget alternator pulley
Cheers for the help everyone. I'll keep it all in mind.

Update us what’s the problem . Have a nice weekend
Will do. Same to you.
The bearing in the idler pulley only costs a £5 and easy the change.
Fair play. I've only known people change the pulley. Good to know.
Classic FNLEW :^)
Maybe spray wd40 in areas until the squeeling stops ? .....then location found. Maybe it's the tensioner itself?
Yeah I'm definitely going to work through each pulley 👍🏻
I have the same issue on my ep3, scared to replace it because it goes away when the engine warms up
Well my noise turned out to be a loose intake manifold so I'd try tightening that up.
god job 👍
Thank you 😊
Hi. Fancy diagnosing my civic ?
I couldn't do that. I can barely sort mine out 😂

Thanks for the advice I will get it taken a look at thank-you
Can i change only the bearing?
Apparently you can.
Yep, 6203 2RS SKF or similar rubber sealed 6203 size bearing
Need some more fn2 videos
Have u ever had the need to change your timing chain.How many klms have u done.
It's done 120k miles. Probably would benefit from a chain but as long as you service it regularly it should be fine.
What was the problem??
A loose intake manifold bolt
@@FNLEW thanks bruv!
Currently experiencing the same thing on my k20… gonna give that a look now
You done clutch damper bypass yet?
Not yet unfortunately
@@FNLEW only cost like 20 pounds i think and around half hour work i think what miles is your car on?
What is it about people bypassing the clutch damper? Curious. 🤔 I mean the damper is there to protect the gearbox from damage. ?
@@richardd8352 I've not looked to mutch into it yet. Think it improves pedal feel.
@@Hondafn ah fair. Roughly 120k
What was it lew?
A loose bolt on the intake manifold 😂
