I got mine lubricated at 10,000km service and the creaking is back after about 8,000km of driving. I guess they'll replace the master cylinder this time as they did state on the invoice that if it comes back, it'll need to be replaced.
You got 8000km after lube? Wow, mine came back in less than a month!
yea im coming up to my 20,000km aswell like a lot of you.
i'm curious is there any chance a faulty MC can do damage to any of the transmission parts?
just got my car back from the 20k km service...
now when i turn the car on it doesnt idle at 1500 rpm for a full 5 minutes it goes straigt to about 1000rpm - realy quite strange - something to do with the oil filter i'm guessing (honda only scheduels it to be replaced every 20,000km)
anyway the car feels like new again - revs are rising much more smoothly and quickly and even the steering feels lighter and more accurate (power steering fluid was down maybe?)
anyway about the creaking clutch which i bought up (yet again)... they said it was the master cylinder - no question. the guy was nice and told me i shouldnt feel repsonsible at all for the strange things going on with the clutch etc and that he would talk to the warranty department and make sure i have the latest MC design if it has actually been changed.
anyone else had their service yet?
Not yet,I'm about a month away. but cant wait
I had creaking noised first need the start of stepping on the clutch, then later it occured near the bottom of the clutch (when fully depressed) and now it usually makes no noise but is very loose... anyone have any idea whats the deal?
when i say loose, i mean theres no resistence to depressing the clutch whatsoever, kind of like when you step on the throttle....
there seems to be no problems with gearchanges, and no signs of clutch slipping... the engine still rev normal etc....
thanks
Chris F, sound like your service advisor is a friendly guy. :thumbsup:Quote:

As we all know that quite a few of us already have Clutch master cylinder replaced due to creaking noise.
The service advisor became very defensive and said "Don't listen to the rumour in the internet!".
I then told him that at least 2 other Brisbane Euro Owners from my car club (ozhonda) I know of have their master cylinders replaced. He then went again: " it is rumour"
WTF, what kind of attitude and answer is that! :thumbdwn: .. His answer implies we ozhonda members here are bounch of liers, we do nothing useful except spreading rumours. He insulted OZHONDA, at the same time, he insulted me, coz I am a member of ozhonda.
I didn't argue with him further that day as my Euro was going to be there for the whole day, I didn't want the situation to turn ugly that he might trash my car as revenge. :(
I am going to make a complaint to their customer relation person, I will demand a formal apology from that service advisor.
How many of you actually have Master cylinder replaced.. Can we start a list here... (copy and paste the list and add yours on to the list)
Thank you guys.

Me, 2004 model.
PNR888, can I ask how old you are? Sometimes they treat youngish people like they wouldn't know anything.
A service manager said to me that's "It's impossible for a car wash to cause swirls / micro scratches etc."
v205, PNR888 is older than i am and i was taken seriously - it just depends on how much of a prick the guy at the desk is.
Roger i wouldn't stand for that treatment either! I'd expect an apology.
I told them about the clicking issue and as soon as they checked it they immediately said it was the MC and that including mine they'd had a couple of others in for the same problem. The same problem is affecting people in the states too, theres a thread on tsx.acurazine.com about it too!
some honda dealers need to stop putting their head in the sand.
My service advisor works at southside honda, they've been great from the start my clutch on the other hand :thumbdwn::thumbdwn:
I guess if the service manager doesn't handle your concerns properly, take the business elsewhere?
