I had no information on that at all, it was pure speculation knowing how the industry works. The time frames i mentioned were just guesstimates

... That would have covered the replacement knock sensor we are getting. They then have to rewrite the software which turned out to be a comprehensive update, this would not have been a 5 minute job. ....

....The update has been available now for about 2 months, so that would be 14 months after the initial release of the CU2 ....

So - should I be concerned ..... I took delivery of a new Accord Euro Luxary Navi, from the first shipment of MY10 models arrived in September. Took it in for it's 1000km service today, and mentioned that I heard a rattle when the car was accelerating at low speed. Have to take it back for 6 hours when they get in a new knock sensor. Notes on the service sheet say 'post detination noise'

It all starts with "rattle when the car was accelerating at low speed" dude :)

or it was about "V" ..anyway, new SW and knock sensor will fix it in 90%

I wouldn't be concerned, the replacement knock sensor & software update takes about 3 1/2 hours. In my case - (i can't speak for others) the pinging issue was more prevalent at low RPM -2000 to 3000 RPM

But if I read through some earlier posts, the problem with the sensors and firmware has been rectified, yet brand new cars (MT10) off the production line, still have problems? So - is my car really a brand new MY?

It is brand new, but still same engine mate.
I had the fix applied on mine month ago and I can still hear the ping in some cases

i read through most of the pages ....... :)

but has any1 tried to tune the noise out, chuck on a fuel controller and some dyno time to see what AFR's are?

Shouldn't have to (even though this is a way to fix).
BTW, had my car done today. Will take it for a spin shortly to futsul to see if has been fixed as my wife picked up the car.

Well it was pretty spot on , as it was explained to me by a service tech.

I spent some time on the Dyno & checked everything out. I forget what the readings were but everything was within specs.

HI all,

this means My10 EUro still got this pinging issue?

I thought My10 EUro models Honda rectrified this issue already..

Thanks

That was my understanding too, so I was happy to buy one, now that after 1000km service I reported an issue, and I have to take it back for the knock sensor to be replaced. So that's why I'm wondering, do I really have an MY10, or is it a MY09. If I thought I could see the build plates, it would help - but I'm a chick, I don't live to crawl into an engine bay :-)
