2004 7th Gen Euro cruising noises

Here's the latest, latest - Honda Aus will not pay for the repairs (surprise, surprise) So waiting for dealer to call me back to tell me I'm getting a refund.

Looks like I'll be looking for another Euro.......hopefully.

They instead want to try to get Honda Australia to repair it under 'good will' since the car has such low kms. But they also mentioned that if Honda Aus refuses to pay for repairs, they will offer me a full refund on the purchase price....which I'd also be happy with - so it looks like either way I'll be covered.

I hate dealers who don't cover repairs because they fear losing profit. What is the point of the warranty then? I personally would get a full refund, including all onroad costs and stamp duties that you paid out of pocket and look for another car.

Just spoke to dealer - they are offering a full refund on the car....im still out of pocket for time lost buggering around, but hey...could've been worse if i had bought private (ouch!).

Soon to be on the lookout for another Euro soon.

i have these noises with my 2003 euro with 106k on it and now warranty, doubt they would do it as goodwill. what do you guys think?

If you are the 1st owner Sodhi...they may do it. If you need me to tell them of my case also, i'd be more than willing to help you out. It's DEF a factory defective diff!!

im the second owner :(, no idea how it was treated b4 me but its drives perfect except for that noise....

I returned my car to the dealer - I think I'm going to buy an Audi A4 Quattro now(2nd hand, low kms)MANUAL!!....unfort I have lost faith with Honda after this.
