I m looking to buy a new CU2 Standard Euro Auto soon, but am worried about the pinging/knock sensor issue. Is there any info stating that the problem has been fixed in newer models or is it the same old?

so now i think my car have the pinging problem?! . LOL.
but i cant sense any ball bearing sound from the engine.. at what speed usually it can be heard?
today i already try using Sport with paddleshift in gear 2 and 3. at speed about 80. the rpm around 2k - 5k on freeway.
Try to drive in auto mode....I rarely seen people with manual CU2 complaining here with the ping issue... I think best way to listen the sound is close your windows, turn off steror and see any sound you can hear....Quote:

No record of the patch/fix/unfix. Unless it's a safety recall, there is no owner viewable record of such fixes. It's one of the ways manufacturers make it difficult to judge what's really happening. In a safety recall, they usually apply a small label on one of the door posts. This they have to do in case the ACCC does an audit. But voluntary work like the ping fix goes unrecorded as far as the public is concerned. That's how they can claim that there are only 60 affected cars in the whole of Australia: You simply couldn't prove any different.
