- In this video I'll show you a "temporary fix" for an rattling catalytic converter heat shield. I've used this technique on more than one vehicle with great success. In this video I'll be using this technique on my own 05 Honda Odyssey. It worked well! Hope this helps!

Thank you
My 06 odyssey has the same problem
Dealer quote me $700 to fix
After watched your video, I was able to tight it
No more noise now
Thanks
THANK YOU!!!! I spent hours and $$$ trying to find the noise source. A $2 hose clamp and 10 minutes of time on a lift cured it!!! Big Thanks!!!!!
Great tip, especially with a universal fit with the wire. I did the big hose clamp fix on an older HONDA v6 and it worked but was difficult to get in and in place and then more difficult to get a tool on it to tighten it. This is a lot simpler to do and the cost is pennies! I really love simple but effective mechanical fixes like this! At this point Honda is asking $1200 for each front and back cat and the exhaust pipe with the cat is $1700!!!! Thanks a million Mr. Barbour!
Did the same thing on my 2008 Odyssey with a hose clamp. It works. No more noise. Thank you.
Thank you! Your information was exactly correct and fixed our problem! It had been driving us nuts!!!
home depot large clamp works perfect last for ever
I'm a 1st timer on your channel inspiring to be a long timer. I have other rattles but this 1 many come in handy 1 day. Great video 👍
Hit that subscribe button my friend. We got more cooking. 🍳
Thank you so much I have a 2005 Honda pilot took me forever to find where the noise was coming from and your video help me locate it
I’m glad to hear it!
Yeah... same issue here... it stops doing it I think as soon as the cat gets hot, then I think the metal expands or something... but hey thanks, I kinda had an idea on what it was but always appreciative for people like you! Cheers mate!
Cheers!
This noise has been bugging me for months. Replacing my stock manifold with headers that ultimately delete those cats. Thank you!
Same here - working great!
I think you can use a six-inch hose clamp (a.k.a., worm drive clamp) for a more secured fit: or connect two 3-inch clamps if the six-inch is not available.
+Nhan Ha That sounds good too! Thanks!
Hey Buddy, I want to thank you. You help me locate the problem and I fixed it. The only thing different I did was use a hose clamp but other than that it’s perfect.. noise is gone.. thanks again!!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
No problem. That sounds like a better fix too.
Yesss that's the noise I keep hearing...thank you so much I been going bonkers
Thanks for the help exactly what im hearing
Great video! Thank you for sharing!!!
Heat shielding should be made from perforated stainless steel and secured with brass bolts. Car manufacturers are generating income for themselves by not engineering the parts correctly, on purpose. Yeah it costs a few bucks more to make it out of SS but saves car owners from nuisance repairs and taking days off from work......
Hey thankyou!! You said this is just a temp fix? Course my Honda is getting up there so shud be fine till next one. Also what about all the water I saw dripping next to it?
Thanx! This my exact problem. I'd rather spend a few bux than a few hundred.
+SWells679 Hopefully it holds a while. :)
BarboursAutoHelp so this is good to go until...when? CC replacement? how long do they generally last?
+SWells679 If it holds and doesn't rattle then roll with it. It's just supposed to be a "temp" fix. However if it starts rattling again for this reason you don't have to replace the cat if you can put up with the noise.
Did you try the temp repair?
Your cv axel vibration video and now this one.. thanks a bunch !!
Sure thing
Omg you’re a savior
Thanks for the complement. I hope it goes well with you.
Hey, I have a ‘19 accord. This the second time a rattling sound has appeared. 1st time dealer fixed it was good for some time now it’s back again. I don’t know if I need to change my mounts or heat shield because along with rattling there’s a lot of transmission movement for me
Hey buddy I'm from the south duct tape is in everybody's toolbox
Thanks
Welcome
I just bought an 06 honda odyssey a few months ago.. van has been making this noise the past few weeks... I looked under the van after watching this video.... there is what looks to be wire hangers around the heat shield. Should I remove it and replace with the twine or hose clamps? Or should I just take it somewhere to replace the shield being as though obviously this isnt the first problem with this.
Well, it's my understanding that the heat shield can't be replaced apart from the cat converter. So, it's up to you. The best fix in my opinion is to replace the converter.
@@BarboursAutoHelp I have the maintenance records and it was replaced in January 🤦♀️. Wonderful!! This van is the gift that keeps on giving lol. Thank you!! It only had 60k miles on it that's why I bought it.... but I've put ive 1600$ in repairs so far. Haha. Oh well. Such is life.
@@Juicytwentysix remove the wire and replace with large hose clamp (or two)
I've use bailing wire more than once
Not a bad thing to use in certain circumstances.
I am tempted to save myself money and crawl under my pilot myself lol
i have an audi A6 2013 CVT automatic. it makes a vibration sound specifically at 1800-2000 rpm ( im pretty sure its at 1900) ...... could this be my issue do you think? it doesnt make the noice stationary whilst reving.. the car runs amazing.... just this noise..... also after that RPM and before.... theres no noise atall.... but if i maintain that RPM it will continue.
Its possible but not 100% that's your problem.
I’ve got a diesel van that makes a similar noise when i’ve Been at high speed and come to a stop and carries on for a few seconds after i’ve stopped. Nothing when idle though. Could this be the same fix?
Shoot, I’m not sure. I really don’t get into diesles.
Nobody thought to let us hear the sound b4 hand?
How much does this cost to fix at a garage?
Oh I'm not sure. Maybe upwards of $400ish.
A repair shop would try to get you to pay to replace a working catalytic converter because the heat shield rattles???
Yes, replacing the converter would be the proper way to fix it.
Let me rephrase that. It would be the proper repair if the heat shield is not repairable. Sometimes the spot welds break. Its possible that some may be re spot welded for a more permanent repair. However I've not seen one that can be re welded.
Probably more work than its worth
At least you're not using duct tape son
I take it you haven't seen my other videos........lol
Sounds like similar to my issue that I’m having a hard time to figure out. ruclips.net/video/gzMcBwnThQg/видео.html
Rattling only happens when engine is under load (around 13000 rpm) while driving (on a gear) but does not sound while revving engine at same rpm while on park/neutral.
Can you suggest anything I can check? Sound is very irritating as you can hear. Thanks
Jun, i still hVe the same problem on my 350z! Did you find out what the problem is?
@@Dan-rp9gb dealer could not really find out what's going on. they ended up replacing the engine's long block under warranty. runs and sounds better so far.
Bailing wire? Really? Really? Welcome to Alabama!
I guess you could spend a $1000 to fix it right. Chump change for most people.
