May 08 Build Auto 8000kms..............No pinging for me..........
Hmm, interesting post over at Acurazine TSX forum in a thread about the same problem the US TSX owners who are having the same issue (Acura TSX is the US version of our Accord Euro). It's from someone who goes by the name of "Acura Cert MASTER TECH". Past posts from him seem to back up that name and are useful and informative.
"I quickly read through all these posts, and just wanted to give you a heads up that Acura IS fully aware of this noise.
We had a guy in at work three times for this noise, and were finally able to duplicate it on the third time. I've been able to make it happen pretty much on demand on a flat/slight incline road, in SS mode in 2nd gear, going between 20-25 mph, with my other foot on the brake slighty. (Holy run on sentence, sorry). I drove two other 09 TSXs, and was able to get the same noise to happen, just not as loudly.
The customer's TSX had close to 10,000 miles on it, the other two that I compared to had 4 miles, and about 1000 miles."
There is more so follow link and scroll down to post #72

Hi Guys,
I am taking my 08 non Euro accord back to the dealer next week for the same issue. My engine is also pinging but a lot less with BP Ulitmate. With unleaded 91 it pings all the time, but with 98 randomly only few times a day.
Has anyone managed to resolve the issue?
[edit] Brain fart - non euro - ignore me ;)
Can anyone advise what's the status of the pinging or gearbox issue?? Has Honda come up with any form of solution yet?
Nothing yet.
ummm... I believe you WILL get pinging all the time if you use 91RON fuel coz the engine was designed to run on 95RON minimum?Quote:
