NEW 2009 Euro Luxury Auto Pinging

[QUOTE= ......
Good luck to all OZ Honda Forum members in the future as i am signing off permanently. Enjoy your rides.[/QUOTE]

This is exactly what I was afraid of.

Good posters going away = Degradation of Forum

All because some people find hard to stick to good manners when someone has different opinions. What a shame!

Where is the moderator????

Buddah - I hope you re-consider for the good of this forum and the majority of readers that value your opinion.

SPQR - If you cannot contribute to this forum without insulting people, please refrain from posting.

They aren't the biggest and the best manufacturer in the world with the worlds best standards for nothing!

Toyota = dead set legends. :thumbsup:

Agreed.

Don't go Buddah.

SPQR, ask any mechanic what ping is. I dare ya. My father said it's pre-ignition, and so did my father-in-law. Both have been heavy diesel fitter mechanics for all their lives.

Very sad to see people with some genuine advice to go from any forum. I don't know why it has to degrade into insults because someone has a different opinion and/or one you don't like.

A lot of what is posted is an opinion, but it should never be quoted as fact, that is when problems arise. If you don't like something, attack the post, not the person. State fact, not something that has been heard from someone else.

There is no joy in this result whatsoever but you overlook the constant derision he threw my way which started well before the Filipino mechanics matter. It was not my intention to have buddah51au leave.

I offered alternative (helpful) opinion on the nature of pinging/pinking/knocking and that other thing known as pre-ignition. I even offered references to other sources. And I had even offered peace ("pax vobiscum" or peace be with you) but got attacked instead.

Sorry SPQR but...it still does nor justify the word "senile". Attacking an opinion is one thing attacking a person is a very different thing.

Im new to this forum but not to vehicles and mechanics....pre-ignition = pinging.

Cheers

I don't frequent this forum often, but in view of what i have just read i spent time reading this entire thread.
All I will add is that you have all lost a very knowledgeable mechanic. Yes I knew buddah personally many years ago, he can be very stubborn & firm in his beliefs, but he did know what he was talking about.
When he was talking about his knowledge of Filipino mechanics he should know, his wife is Filipino and i personally know he has visited that country many times.
My understanding is he basically went into exile about 10 years ago after a dreadful family tragedy, much to the loss of those of us in Sydney who used his services.
SPQR, I don't know you & don't want to become involved, all I will say is he always gave sound & solid advice.

Fark me...what a bunch of women.
Buddah, PM your email addy, we can continue our discussion about manufacturer F-ups off forum!!

Oh and for the record, look in the poll, I have found loose exhuast bolts and have re-tightened all of them using avaiation grade locktite (heat resistance of course) a product we use on the race cars manifold bolts and it seems to have made the problem disappear.

SPQR, not to jump on the band wagon, but I find most of your posts rude and obnoxious, you can correct my spelling if you so desire...carry on in your dream world of theory...

This thread has been quite for a while.

It is June (The month given by Honda for the availability of the pinging fix) and I was wondering if anybody has heard from Honda about the solution to the pinging issue.

Cheers

Are you suggesting it might be a "farting" like leak from the exhaust pipe connection to the integral exhaust manifold?

I still havnt heard any good news...
As usual, this is HONDA way!!!! :thumbdwn:
