Hey! Longtime listener, first time caller.
Posting as, as most issues, whether they be you getting sick or something with the car, this one popped up at 4:30pm on a Saturday. So Monday I'll be making some calls trying to get a professional diagnosis (whenever I can get it booked in.)
Just picked up an 06 Integra Auto and have only had it for 2 weeks. Only 82k on the odo.
It's been driving fine as far as I can tell, no issues, even now. However when driving like a boy racer, coming up to a corner at 40 or 50 for no justifiable reason (not that I need one) - and try to make a sharp turn, there is a weird pumping/clunking sound and dropping feeling from the middle of the engine bay. It may sound overly dramatic, but it sounds like a nasty pumping sound, and like the engine is going to fall out or there is something loose around the middle of the bay.
Car is a DC5 AUTO, the gears are being handled by the ECU obviously. I'm just steering and working the 2 pedals.
If I drive like a granny or a dad or whatever, there are no issues whatsoever. It feels normal and safe.
I've experienced it both turning left and right sharply, just residential streets (in speed limits.)
Recently had Bridgestone RE002's put on with a full wheel balance etc. Just got a RWC. The "mechanics" were lazy ignorant pricks but thats another story for another time.
Not a car guy at all so it's all just shots in the dark for me.
I've done some googling and some clues might be some kind of hydraulic pump issue? Something to do with power steering? From my understanding of brakes on a FWD car (which is not a lot) it doesn't sound like its coming from the calipers at all, more from the middle of the engine bay.
Am planning to get it into Westside Honda for a diagnosis, but there'll probably be a wait time there.
It's currently under a 3month statutory warranty (used car from dealer) so hoping whatever is required will be covered..
Any advice?
Thx!!
