Cold rattle at start up. Tech said it was not VTC actuator and replaced the cam tensioner. The next morning, same noise. Going back to to diagnose further. Tech is certain it is not VTC actuator. TD has reference to TSB A18010F but I cannot see details. It does cover 2015 CRV and talks about another rattle at start.

VTC actuator fix (recall so covered) Dealer damaged oil seal during recall causing a drip. They fixed for no cost. Clicking sound when breaking. Dealer thought engine issue and took apart engine at our cost. They said "tightened the engine mounts but we did a brake service for you for free!" I'm reasonably sure it was the CRV brake caliper clicking issue but they missed it the first time. At least fixed in the end. Clicking sound when breaking.
