My 2003 Element vibrates while idling while warming up. I took into a local shop and they said to take it to the dealer with the TSB #03-042 and said it needed updated engine mounts and also wrote (engine idle smoothing kit, PN/50830 - SDA -999).

I called Honda and gave them the TSB # but they couldn't find it in their system. I'm taking it in this Saturday to have them look at it, but has anybody else had this problem?

there are no TSB's by that number for the 03 element nor are there any relating to the symptoms you are describing.

They did diagnose one thing correctly for you---you need a different local shop. :razz:

This TSB is legit.....If you have a 2003-2004 4 cyl Accord. But as has been stated it does not apply to the Element.

i cant tell you how many times i have mistaken a customers element for the same year accord. www.instantcrickets.com :D
