Realistically, it was a very minor problem i could have easily lived with.
Wait for irving to reply.LOLQuote:

Let the personal attacks continue, I find it hilarious.
WOW, 3 pages of personal attacks with nothing of significant interest regarding the issue, no wonder this thread is getting so long.
As for the idiot, only such an ill informed person would state that a clear car bra is nothing more than glad wrap ..... or was that bubble wrap. that says a lot about a particular persons knowledge.
You're both "bloody idiots" for behaving like children.now grow up,shake hands, kiss each other and agree to disagree and let the matter end before one of you picks up their ball and goes home. That would be a shame cos you've been quite entertaining for the last few digs at each other, but now time to move on lol
G'day Guys
I wanted to highlight that my Cu2 did have all of the counter measures applied by Honda. The car still made some ping noise aftrwards and i complained again. Capital Honda in Phillip were very good, i was advised to fuel with 98 ron 3 times and allow the car's computer to relearn my driving style. I can truthfully report that i have not heard the ping noise since.
Most of guys will know that i was a frustrated and angry customer and my emotions were like a rollercoaster, as i was dissapointed with Hondas approach. They have come good for me personally but as for any cu2 driver who has this problem im at a loss what Honda can do for you.
I think if it becomes intolerable sell your car and rid yourself of the hassle
its not worth the nerve damage.
In march im driving to melbourne and will post some fuel consumption figures
for you all.
Best of luck to all and safe and happy driving.:thumbsup:
Great that you finally got it sorted VIDS. Like many you endired some headaches along the way.Quote:

Fkn hell Irving, mouthing off on forums makes you look like a dick.
I just hope you don't act like that in the dealers.....
I always thought buying a new car is like finding girls to get married with. If you like a girl, you marry her and then find out that she's not as what you've expected. Would you complain to her parents saying what the hell have you done raising this girl, cause she's not what you think she is? or will you blame yourself for picking the wrong girl?
If we buy a car from the first place and doesn't do research on the issues for the car, then, I think, its partly our fault as well.
One thing I can suggest to people with CU2 pinging problem even after the fix was applied is to go to different dealer, complaint about your old dealer and ask them what can they do to help them.
Installing the fix might be a problem on several dealer as they wont have enough training on doing this, and they have to do it ASAP because customers are complaining.
