Today I have heard a few creaks coming from the left front part of the dashboard I think...which will be monitored.
I am so jealous of all of you who have not had a rattle out of their Euros.
In under 4 months,2 new seats,3 rattle issues...........and only 5000 kilometers.
My Jetta was better....
Mate that has got to be incredibly bad luck. I have a March 2010 build, 2011 model CU2 Lux manual. The car is faultless, no rattles, no nothing, although I have ditched all the crappy plastic speakers before they started failing :-) This is my third Honda and it is the best yet. I know that does not help you, but if you can you need to stick with it and see if your dealer can resolve these issues.Quote:

As I stated previously, my CU2 is also May 08 build and I have no other complaints except the PCS after the ping fix.Quote:

What is left is the Knock Sensor, which I believe is worth troubleshooting.
I will be travelling to UK in a couple of weeks and will not be back for sometime (several months ++).
I encourage others with the PCS issue to have their dealer replace the Knock Sensor again.
If Type R's CU2 does NOT PCS (same build as my 6MT), then the replaced knock sensor is worth investigating.
The truth of the matter is that as far as cars go,I have had incredably bad luck this year,starting with the hail,which damaged my Jetta,the insurance company who insisted on writing it off,and a new car which I thought would be faultless,and has been more annoying than any other I have owned.Quote:

I finally sent Honda Australia an e-mail,saying how disapointed I am with this car.
I wonder if I will receive a reply ???
I might have to either insist the dealer comes with me on a drive using my route,or I will have to try another dealer ???
My Euro is now a year old and 35,000k. It has been amazing in all respects. NO rattles, noises (other than the throaty alfa like exhaust note :)). It has been far better in terms of fit and finish and rattles/noise than German cars of the year (ie current) that I have driven and been in.

No calls or e mails yet from Honda ...I will keep you posted.
I have been waiting for 3 weeks now,but really frustrated.
I have 2 rattles driving me crazy,2 resolved issues,and the days,weeks,and months are flying by.
I sent Graeme Smith at the Herald Sun motoring section a letter,lets see if this gets any response.
I have said that I love the comfort,styling,performance and driveability of the car,but have been really disapointed with the build quality.
But what is worse is that NO after sales from Honda.
I wonder why they have fallen to 10th place on the new vehicle sales ???
I bhave been extremely patient,and all that I want is a perfect,rattle free car.
By the way,this was a MASSIVE purchase by me,I would hate to have to get rid of it because it frustrates me every day...
i have rattles too coming from the boot area, even driving at 20km/h! :( the rattle has been going on since the first week i picked up the car.
was going to get it investigated during the first month's service last saturday at hornsby honda but was told it would have to be on a weekday to do so.
mine is a january 2010 build lux navi.
i think i should have insisted on getting a golf gti, at least if there is a rattle the exhaust and engine notes would overpower it :)
