Problems with the Euro

[aaronng]

i have stock 16inch wheels with tires that came with the car when i bought them....sp sport i think they are. there starting to wear after 3+ years now so will be needing some new ones soon. hopefulli can save up enough to get new rims and tires by the time current ones are no loonger any good =]

3 years on the SP Sport is good. I only got 1 year.

Between rims and tyres, if you are forced to pick either rims and cheap tyres or good tyres alone, I would go for good tyres.

Looking at most of the replies, I guess my CL9 is doing a good job. So far I had...

- Failed Drive Belt Tensioner
- Rattle from front passenger side headrest
- Faulty rear parking sensor (Replaced with new one under warranty)

Hi guys, new member, new CU2 Lux Black.

Car went in for 1 month free service today. First significant problem to report is the auto headlights.

Headlights come on when it is dark but the stalk is in the "off" position - not normal.
Headlights come on when it is dark and the stalk is in the "Auto" position (fine), but the dashboard and internal control lights don't come on - not normal.

Long story short, the car needs to spend the whole day at the dealer shortly so they can figure out what's going on. Dealer reckons that they've never seen this issue before and it could be a faulty relay or poor wiring.

Anyone else experienced or heard of this problem?

Never get a red euro.
They have a paint fault on it.
If you 're lucky enough to notice before your paint protection expires( 3 years)
You will get a free respray.
Otherwise good luck mate.. your car will become pink in5-7 years.

Brendon,

This is a very uncommon problem for Honda. Honda is generally pretty robust with electrical/electronic parts/operations unlike European cars (Audi, BMW) which are commonly plagued with electrincal problems only after 1 - 2 years. My gut feel is the electronic control module for the light has gone bad somehow.

Thanks limleong. We'll wait and see what happens.

On the plus side, I washed the car for the first time on the weekend. I forgot how good the metalic paint looks when it sparkles especially with my dark tint. It's a great looking car.

recently i took my euro to the dealer to have my sqeaking clutch as many of you guys kno about this problem. now this is not the first time i have bought the car to them with this problem, but every time i bring the car in honda just re-oil the clutch and it would come bak lik in about 2 months or so. well this time they said they pulled out the master cylinder and regreased the inside of it. any one has has the same thing done? coz im wandering how long this will last.....honda refuses to replace my master cylinder =[

my car is 03 euro... 140k + milage.. recently had driveshafts re-co'd as car was vibrating like crazy when accelerating.... my mechanic charged $600 to re-co but i think honda will replace and that would be at least $2k ?

biee2, I have similar situation (like many others). I put silicone spray. worked a treat the first time, but its almost as if it is 'immune' now. I'm thinking if i should try some grease which is a lot thicker and hopefully can last longer....not sure tho

Is it squeaking from the pedal area or from the engine bay (transmission) area? For the pedal area, use the silicone spray. I have had my master cylinder replaced 2 times and the sound will come back. It is probably a lube issue with the master cylinder (not sure who the manufacturer is). If the creak is coming from the engine bay, then that is the clutch release fork and it is difficult to lube (probably impossible) in our cars.
