Did they change the torque converter at the same time they replaced the ATF or was that afterwards?Quote:

1 owner from eastern state mentioned that Honda Australia is going to delay the solution. Thats mean all onwer with the pinging issue might have to wait longer!!
I think the solution is months away. (May to June)Quote:

All those that have posted in the pinging data collection thread:
- reported pinging: False
- have early build cars: False
- have low kilometres: False
- have AT cars: False
- use 98 RON petrol: True
- use 95 RON petrol: False
- drive fast: False
- drive slow: False
The only "true" that holds thus far is that those using 98 RON petrol have the pinging problem (WTF?). BUT there is not enough data thus far to draw conclusions.
^^ Interesting. I wonder if anyone has tried using 95 RON instead to see if the pinging sound goes away.
OP's with ping say it's worse with 95.Quote:

Keep your day job.
The fact that Honda have acknowledged that they have a problem, and there is a fix in the pipeline is not enough for you ?

I think what he tried to do is help us trying to figure out what causedthe problem, not just sit down and wait till honda test all the "fix" they can do on our cars "Oh this one doesnt fix it, lets try that one... Oh that one doesnt fix it as well, lets try that other one over there..." And at the end we got 114kw Accord Euro, not ATW that is... :(Quote:

btw, his statistic is based on data collection thread on this forum, not random numbers
I appreciate that he's trying to help, and I might have overreacted, but I think the only way is to put presure on Honda as a group and force them to do something about it. If the 'fix' results in the car having only 114kW (btw, did you use this as an example, or do you have some info ? - would be good to know) then it's NOT A FIX, in my opinion.Quote:

It's been said before: the fuel quality argument doesn't fly. The CL9
(I had one and drove it everyday for five years) had more power and response under acceleration, and it didn't knock/ping or whatever Honda choose to call it. And I used the same fuel.
Even if the 'improved' engine is more sensitive to the quality of the fuel,
Honda have been present in Oz for eons; they know exactly what the aussie fuel looks like; so, if they choose to bring Honda Accord Euro to Oz, they have the responsibility to ensure it performs according to the specs; otherwise, they would have misrepresented their product.
hi ,guys ,I'm new here, bought the car 2 months ago ,same probs as everyone.
have been contacting the dealer and the Honda Australia regarding the knocking noise
and low power at pinging time without any happy answer from the Honda Australia, the
manager from Honda said it's normal sound!!!then said they've working on it .I asked if
it's normal why you working on the solution???because you guys complaint it!!!
Off course I'm not happy with .SO I've called VCA and guide one of officers to this thread
and they will be monitoring this issue fro now.because it's not single issue any more.
I've been told to lodge a formal complaint to Honda which I suggest all of us to do it
asap!!!
we are not fools!!!
Hi mate, sorry for the confusion, its just an example (based on the civic sports figure, if I can remember correctly...Quote:

Typical dealer response. Which dealer did you speak to?Quote:

have to act now on it for us!ring the consumer affairs to tell them what's going on!
we have to get enough attentions .
Stand up guys!
*sits down*
I type therefore I am. I don't own a CU2 yet but I would like the problem to be fixed because I'd like to own a CU2 (V6) one day; preferably not one with any problems. I was trying to help to identify some sort of pattern but that proved elusive.Quote:

I'm with joystick & will sit down with him.
^^ I was just wishing out loud.:) V6's can be economical a well. But having never owned any car with more than 4 cylinders (Escort RS2000, Laser TX3 Turbo, Mazda GTX Turbo, Subaru WRX) I'd like to have a V6 one day and so it would be nice if it was in a CU2.
Ha ha. Read it all before (lol).
i have a problem when i drive slow in my 94 accord, at 1.5k revs it makes a bad droning sound but when i go over 3k its fine.
thing is at 3k constant i will be over the speed limit, i have had 2 mechs check it out ad they say it is fine.
There is a known issue with these Euros, but people need to realise that whenever a manufacturer releases a new model there will be some teething problems. Unfortunately they can build a car, and run it under numerous situations and conditions without any glitches, yet these glitches can present once the car is released.
I do agree that there are a lot of dodgy dealers out there who don't really care about fixing the problem, but there are also a lot of dealers who do care about making sure their customers are happy. Like most problems, at first it will be pretty much a case of trial and error until there is adequate proof of exactly what causes the problem and how to fix it properly as opposed to using simple bandaid solutions.
If everyone works together with things they think work and don't work, it will help narrow down the matter and give owners with this problem a way of talking to their dealers as to what they want tried.
Problem has been resolved. Contact your local dealership so they replace the part which is causing this problem. I got mines fixed 3 weeks ago.

I totally agree about the handling compromise but where I live, there aren't many corners and bends, just lots of soldiers that have returned from Afghanistan that blow their tax-free $50K bonus on crappy old (but fast) Nissan GTS & GTR's. It'd be nice to show them a "cultured" fast car in the form of a CU2 V6. Just dreaming....
As I have said before, I have never-ever owned a car with more than 4 cylinders...But please just once before they're banned would be nice.:angel:
Hi mate.
Do you have any more information on this?
My dealer was completely unaware of the problem or fix.
TY
Are you serious? Did they sit in the car with you while you were driving it so they can hear the noise?
I'm not sure what the official term was but I vaguely remember it was something along the lines of knocking. Pinging is the term most users are use to.
What state are you from?
I'm in NSW.
Actually that was in trivetts Parramatta, they told me they charged to check for noises, and they werent covered under warranty.
Very bad. will probably go to a different dealer, but i wanted to get as much information as possible before going.
You're kidding me right? If you're car is still under warranty then they have to check it. I will email the Honda head office/the service manager and anyone else you can think of (thats what i did) to get the problem check and fixed. It's a known problem. Tell them to contact Essendon Honda in Victoria if they have no idea. How many kms have you done on your car? Is it a brand new car?
just gave trivetts a call.
the guys who picked up the phone, knew about the issue and told me it does not affect all CU2s, and they fix it by replacing the knock sensor.
Booked in for next week, hope it all goes well and stops the annoying noise.
That sounds about right.. the knock sensor. Correct, it doesn't affect all CU2 models just a handful. We were the lucky ones to buy one in that handful. good luck
got it fixed.
seems the knock sensore replacement did the trick (for the time being)
Hi Man, i just new to this site, i got same problem, my one is a used 2009 CU2, 16000kms, can you please let me what should i do?Quote:

I just started to hear this as well from my 2010 Cu2. sounds like keys hitting each other. Anyone found out about this? I will have my yearly service so ima let Honda know.
It's the knock sensor it appears, its a
Reoccurring problem with the CU2 it seems
