OVERKILL
$100 Site Donor 2021
Was out at my parent's helping my sister identify her transmission and we were attempting to drive up on the curb when all of a sudden this shrieking chirping noise started coming from the Acura MDX parked in the driveway at the house next to my parent's place.
It was this body style:
Then smoke started to roll out from under the front bumper
I ran up to their house and hammered on their door to tell them about it. The woman's husband had I guess left it running while he ran inside to get something. By the time he got out, the noise was a constant grating shriek and there was a LOT of smoke.
After shutting it down and popping the hood, the source was not readily identifiable. I thought it might be a tensioner or the alternator, maybe even the A/C compressor, as there was no electrical smell to it
Firing it up later resulted in it sounding fine and no smoke. They are going to take it into Honda tomorrow.
Talk about adding some excitement to a lazy Sunday!
