Yes I know dyno's give different readings, but like any dyno in shoot out mode, if callibrated correctly adjusts for temperature humidity etc, the tension straps are also set to the same torque...
Ok people, as some of you know I have sold my Euro after 9 months of ownership. However, I thought it prudent to provide you all with the following information given that Honda are yet to find a fix...
Now where near enough $$ to pay out my lease, but slightly better than trade, it had just over 13,000km's...immaculate, i am driving my "non-dailies" at the moment, both get about 300km to a...
Honestly, it was due to a change in family circumstances, we have 5 cars, and 2 people and only 4 garages, I was already selling my Nissan Patrol and the missus decided to get another dog. I don't...
I have just sold my car. I hope the people whom have the problem have it addressed soon, I certainly am glad I went to the trouble of finding it and fixing it myself, and it being a simple problem...
Yes, they were still tight, however I did remove them and loctite them to. I am merely suggesting that people give it a go, seems that most "dealers" and their "technicians" will only find a fault if...
I tightened everything, including heat sheilds, there is no "header" bolts as such as the exhaust manifold is cast into the head. I just went to town with the loctite...
Well I run 98 ron, and I no longer have the "noise", actually, I have traced my noise to loose exhaust bolts, that I tightened myself and used aviation grade temp resitant locktite on...seems to not...
That must be unfortunate, but then again the 82 Commie and 89 Mazda have been rebuilt...by me...atleast the engine in my VZ Commie does not rattle, but then again...it uses a bucket load of fuel (who...
Well mine still pings, given it is now one of 5 cars I have, it sits in the garage and is not driven, unless I have to move it out of the way. I am over it, never buy another Honda, hell my 1982...
Due to the engine pinging noise I have let Honda put in whatever the hell they use and then I will use full synthetic, and swear by Mobil 1, have had an engine fail due to Motul Turbolight, and I...
Well car in for the 10K service today, no rectification in sight, I will just be glad if they replace the rear door garnishes after its second visit to have that done and the rear parcel shelf rattle...
I am with Buddha on the oil changes, I am waiting however until after the pinging issue is resolved before touching it myself. From then on it will get full synthetic though and not the Honda oil, I...
The variance between highway and city is huge, I get around 7.4L (calculated not using the silly computer which is about 5% out) for all highway driving including slow roadworks, so could be better,...
I was being sarcastic, an upgrade would result in more power, better economy etc, this is a fix, nothing more, thus calling it an upgrade is an oxymoron.
I was contacted by my Dealer yesterday to let me know that a "software upgrade" is on its way from Honda Japan, and that I would be contacted again early March to have the problem rectified.
Hmmm I would like to see what this fix really is. Just glad they have "identified it" though I have large doubts that "post ignition" does not cause any damage. So what they are trying to say is...
I just keeping using 98ron, probably cause that is what I always use. Its back at the dealer today getting the other issues fixed. I just keep mentioning the engine rattles still...
