Anywho, bob_san, have you suggested to them (honda australia) that they cover part of the labour costs with the new engine out of good will?

:thumbsup: thank you for actully reading my posts. yes i am whinging as it is all that i can do for now. and no honda expects me to pay for the full 11g myself. no mention of even any good will at all, but from their tone it sounds more like i owe it to them.

and T-onedc2, obviously u have never encountered a warranty issue with honda before. customer relations don't deal with warranty issues, they deal with customer relations (drrr). its up to honda's own mechanics to prove if the engine damage was caused by the mods or not, which three months later i have still yet to see any report that has been issued by honda.

Tell us all again why did you start this thread?

Edit: they don't need to give you the report, nor have proof as you void the warranty first.

try reading it from the start again?, if u think this thread is so pointless, then why do you keep coming back and post?

so all you want from Honda is a report saying how the motor was ****ed?
i admit, that's what they owe you.
you can probably take legal action with that, but not with the repair.

im sure a multinational company can spare 11 g's for this guy...it wasnt even his fault...

why wasn't it his fault?
he made a mod (CAI) to his car, knowing the motor would be void, ran through a puddle of water which got into his motor. which can make the car go bang.
even though honda says, it was caused by excess revving, it can still have been done by him, you don't get a intake and exhaust to be quiet and drive like a granny, you rev the car out.


so can you please explain why it wasn't his fault?

ahh well i said that cuz he said it wasnt his fault...i felt that theres no reason for him to lie on ozhonda...my bad

i was a red p plater last year and pretty much everyone of my friends wether they drove a swift or an wrx with a cannon on it everyone knows you revv it to impress one another... its just what young people do...
plus if you install a CAI another reason to revv your car...
sure u dont do it all the time but u have pretty much said that you have never revved your car...

i thought hondas liked a rev, this sounds like terrible luck mate, i have skipped through most of the thread, but bloody bottom line should be you buy the car to use it, not baby it. so honda should base their bloody warranty on if everyone redlined the things every day.

i certainly know i do.
