Have any of you with the pinging problem actually made a complaint to the ACCC? If they get enough of them they might force Honda to act.

1200Km's here (09 Lux) - still no pinging
a) an annoying rattle from the little silver insert on the drinks cover in the center console which is damn annoying (better fix @ 1000k service tomorrow)
b) boot doesn't want to catch unless really slammed - assume just an adjustment issue.
Beyond those two - all good
Build Date is: No idea - couldn't find a plate or anything in the engine bay?!:eek:
Just adjust the rubber stopper on the boot. Turn it clockwise a half turn on each side and the boot will close easier.Quote:

No pinging though. But...
The acceleration is slower than normal (well, slightly better than a shopping trolley).
Could it be than Honda have decided to tune down their engines to 'mask' the pinging problem ?!
I used to drive a 2003 CL9, and the acceleration on that one (no mods) was constantly drawing remarks from my friends!
The engine is CU2, supposedly an improvement, more power, more compression, and even after taking into account the 100 or so more kilos that the CU2 has, it should not have such a noticeably slower acceleration !
On the CU2, you floor it and nothing happens! I cannot spin the wheels from a stand still, with the VSA and A/C off, in any setting (D,S, man shifting or not)
And what the #$%@ is the deal with the kick down shift button behind the accelerator pedal ?!
If the car was tuned properly, there would not be a need for one... any other cars have this ?....
Anyone has a similar experience with their new CU2 ?
I can't believed I missed your post. :pQuote:

I agree with aarong, oil only going thinner with temp is up bcos the molacul of the oil heat up and have more energy to move and more space between. Then the oil bcom thinner. This is my first time to heard that oil get thicker with temperautre go up. not make sense. Thanks
May08 build Euro Standard 6MT. (BP Ultimate98 fuel always)
I had a reply from Heinz at Honda Aust and he said the ping is an aknowledged problem, does not appear to be a answer currently but to
drop the car back at the dealer to check if its anything else.
Other than that Im extremely satisfied with the vehicle.
