  3. Problems and Troubleshooting
    I need help diagnosing a noise that's coming from my windscreen area. It's something I've experienced for a few years but just recently was able to get a video of. I've attached links below. The only difference between the two is the length and POV. The noise is pretty evident, but it's best...
  4. Problems and Troubleshooting
    My 2001 1st generation insight has developed a strange pattering noise.

  5. Problems and Troubleshooting
    [EDIT: Since posting this thread, the issue has been resolved. What was once thought to be a possibly bad wheel bearing has turned out to just be a worn brake pad manifesting its sound in a weird way. If you have sounds similar to the below, make sure to check your bake pads before getting too...

  8. Problems and Troubleshooting
    Hi. I have just bought my first Mk1 Honda Insight, a 2001 manual citrus model with 73,000 miles on the clock.

  10. Honda Insight Forum 2nd-Gen Discussion
    I am a new owner to the 2010 insight and I have been hearing a high pitched noise at slower speeds,while stopped, and also when the Auto Stop is engaged.

  11. Troubleshooting and Problems
    After a while I've begun to notice a noise from the top edge of the drivers door window. It usually happens at speed and I thought at first it might be an air leak but it does it only sometimes. Then I noticed it does it mostly on rough roads and so I'm thinking it's actually the window...
  12. Problems and Troubleshooting
    I have this alarming noise that I first noticed while driving home from work a couple of days ago. It sounds sorta like a distant helicopter.
