[CU2] To all the new Euro Auto owner out there!!!!

[jbowly]

Hi all,

I have been talking to a few Euro 09 owners and realised that many of us have to same problem with the "clickling" noise during slow acceleration. All dealers use fuel as the excuse and keep pushing us back by telling us to test is again with a few tank of 98 fuel.
If you have the same problem, please complaint to the dealer and make sure they put it up to Honda Aust so that they can look into this!
At the end of the day, this is our car and we pay some good money for it. We must make sure we satisfy with what we purchase!
Thanks guys!!!

Honda euro Lux with Sat Nav Purchased 18th Sept now 1740 KMs still has pinging. Back to Dealer twice and no change. Running on 98 OCT Dealer added 2 bottles of octane booster no change. This pinging it would appear is not a petrol problem, yet dealer keeps saying just keep driving it. now metallic pinging will cause engine damage if left unchecked .( owners manual Page 334). So why hav'nt Honda Australia taken action to advise they are doing something about it. Shouldnt we all write a letter to honda Australia direct to add pressure to this issue. There is a contact page on the www.honda.com.au web site. If you have this problem then please communicate it to honda direct. Unless you do Honda will continue to fend us off through their dealers without an official response. Go to http://www.honda.com.au/wps/wcm/conn...es/Contact+Us/

Luxury Nav Auto purchased July 19th now completed 7700km's. Never had a pinging issue & am averaging 8.9litres per 100km as per computer. Only noise issue has been a rattle from the drink holder lid & the sunvisor swinging around & hitting me in the head when going around a corner & I have it over the drivers side window.

Have always used VPower & use Mobil 1 10w-30 fully synthetic from 1200km's. Other than that no issue's at all. Great car.

^^^ Hmmm. The new Subaru WRX sedan can be had with leather, sunroof and sat nav now. And 195kw! I remember my old WRX was reliable and rattle free. Ugly interior though.
