The reasons for the buzzing noise during cold start of a Civic are: 1. Low oil pressure or wear in the hydraulic lifters causing air to enter them; 2. Wear in the valve rocker arms leading to excessive valve clearance; 3. Oil sludge or carbon deposits in the throttle body; 4. Expansion of the catalytic converter when heated, producing noise; 5. Wear, elongation, or loosening of the timing belt or chain; 6. Failure of the chain tensioner to maintain proper tension.

Why is there a sound after washing the car when braking?

The reason for the sound after washing the car when braking is that water enters the brake drum of the wheel during washing, and sand particles splash onto the brake pads with the water, causing abnormal noise when braking. Braking, also known as stopping, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving motor vehicles and other transportation machinery. It is divided into drum brakes and disc brakes. The maintenance methods for brakes are: 1. Regularly check the thickness and wear of the brake pads, and whether they return freely; 2. Replace them in time when the wear reaches the limit to avoid reducing braking efficiency and affecting driving safety; 3. Replace with brake pads provided by the original manufacturer; 4. Use special tools to push back the brake caliper when replacing; 5. After replacement, step on the brake several times to eliminate the gap between the shoe and the brake disc.

Why Does the Steering Wheel Make Abnormal Noises?

Abnormal noises when turning the steering wheel may be caused by a faulty clockspring or insufficient lubrication in the strut mount bearing. Faulty Clockspring: If the noise is heard from inside the steering wheel, it is likely due to interference from the clockspring inside the steering wheel. You can remove the steering wheel's clockspring, apply some grease, and check the situation. If the noise persists, the clockspring needs to be replaced. Insufficient Lubrication in Strut Mount Bearing: When turning the steering wheel, if the abnormal noise is heard from outside the vehicle, it may be due to insufficient lubrication in the strut mount bearing. Simply open the hood and check if the noise is coming from the top of the strut mount to determine if it is indeed the strut mount bearing making the noise.
