NEW 2009 Euro Luxury Auto Pinging

[shakkas]

yea my car has done 1300 kms and my pinging really bad.
ill get it checked after i get my car door fixed (some stupid bitch reversed into me) but yea it hasnt been fun hearing that and adding the window rattle as well

Picked up my Lux CU2 Auto on Friday - only done 100k's but I can't hear any pinging sounds. You've all got me paranoid now! Is there any correlation between build dates and having these sounds?

A few years back, you could buy replacement Lucas wiring smoke on ebay. For those that haven't heard the CU2 pinging yet, maybe they might have some replacement "ping-ing" on ebay.

I tracked the smoke down elsewhere at: http://www3.telus.net/bc_triumph_registry/smoke.htm

Enough guys. Please someone, take this issue to the ACCC as I've said before.

Guys, heard some rumour that there will be a massive recall on this pinging problem...

[Bobjones]

Well I would say that is a rumour at this stage, so from where is your source and how reliable is it...

[shakkas]

mmmm i somehow doubt it so soon

fingers crossed though

If so, then I expect all that they can do is de-tune the engine management computer because they can't readily change the high compression ratio. Either way, customers should be able to opt for a refund if it results in a loss of power or torque.

i took it in my first service today and took one of the technicians for a test drive

he said it wasnt pinging cause it would be much louder and rougher but reckons its an exhaust resonanse (sp?) sound. i will get it checked at my next service

It is engine pinging.. even Honda Australia recognise it is engine pinging. Dealers fob you off cause they dont know what to do. Add you voice to a long list of people who have the same problem with their 2009 Euro Auto . Go to the Honda web page and file a complaint.
