[CU2] funny noise from the engine when slow accelerate

[Bobjones]

Alrighty, another update, car now idles a little funny in gear and as such it will be going into Honda on Monday to have the car looked at, I need a loaner so I have to wait until then, its amazing how more helpful they are when you talk DIRECTLY to the Service Manager and not the half wit front desk bird...

My car still have the sound, but not so obvious now.
Called them again, but the guy said its probably due to fuel. HE also said one of the Honda manager in brisbane has the same problem. However, the sound disappear after a few tank of 98 fuel. Therefore, he asked me to try few more tank.

Hi guys, I have CU2 Lux auto and think I have the same issue. Mine sounds more like a rattle than a click if that makes sense - like the old "tappet rattling" cars of years gone by. Not an attractive noise in a $45k car. eur001, can I ask which dealer you took your car to? I work in Perth and want to take mine in to Honda North.

I took it to Burswood Honda. Please make sure you get them to check the sound and get them to report it to Honda Australia. If you have any sucess story after your service, please share with all of us.
Thanks!!

this is the problem with honda aust they just tools they know nothing. All information gets relayed back to honda japan then they tell these stooges here at honda aust what to do. Best thing that can happen is other owner suffer same symptom's then they will act but if it's only a few well they will convince you that noting wrong with your car and that's a characteristic of the vehicle and they all do this

This is a policy of honda if it works even if it makes noises this is not warranty issue

So true of all car makes;not just Honda. I used to get the same crap from Subaru. That Japanese cars are reliable is to say they are more reliable than Oz made and European made cars but Japanese cars also have their faults. Reliability is a myth.

Never a truer word spoken, couldn't agree more.

Hi there,
Have you got your car checked?? Any good news to share with us??
The reply i got so far is that the dealer is waiting for Honda Australia to give them some directions. They cant and not going to do anything now.

Haven't had a chance to take it in yet. It's actually not bugging me that much at the moment, seems to be improving a bit. I may wait until next service but will post on here if any news.

I had a wierd ticking in my prelude, similar to what was mentioned, turned out to be my harmonic balancer in the process of falling off >_<"
