a) an annoying rattle from the little silver insert on the drinks cover in the center console which is damn annoying (better fix @ 1000k service tomorrow)
b) boot doesn't want to catch unless really slammed - assume just an adjustment issue.
Beyond those two - all good
Build Date is: No idea - couldn't find a plate or anything in the engine bay?!
Nope, multigrade oil just means that it can perform like a SAE5 oil at -18C and SAE40 oil at 100C. It doesn't mean that it thickens when the temperature increases. If it thickens when the temperature increases, then why do you run you engine to warm the oil up before you drain it out when changing engine oil?
Look buddy... see my pic and u know what a serious person I am and it shows I know what I am talking about.
Mine is a July 08 build,(couldn't find a day) and no pining, no rattles no nothing...
Curious to see when other build dates were..
Mine is also a July 08, CU2 Lxry auto. 2300k on the clock.
I only use RON 98.
It has a slight 'lumpy steering' problem to the right. (hope it goes away?...)
No pinging though. But... The acceleration is slower than normal (well, slightly better than a shopping trolley).
Could it be than Honda have decided to tune down their engines to 'mask' the pinging problem ?!
I used to drive a 2003 CL9, and the acceleration on that one (no mods) was constantly drawing remarks from my friends!
The engine is CU2, supposedly an improvement, more power, more compression, and even after taking into account the 100 or so more kilos that the CU2 has, it should not have such a noticeably slower acceleration !
On the CU2, you floor it and nothing happens! I cannot spin the wheels from a stand still, with the VSA and A/C off, in any setting (D,S, man shifting or not)
And what the #$%@ is the deal with the kick down shift button behind the accelerator pedal ?!
If the car was tuned properly, there would not be a need for one... any other cars have this ?....
Anyone has a similar experience with their new CU2 ?
I agree with aarong, oil only going thinner with temp is up bcos the molacul of the oil heat up and have more energy to move and more space between. Then the oil bcom thinner. This is my first time to heard that oil get thicker with temperautre go up. not make sense. Thanks
May08 build Euro Standard 6MT. (BP Ultimate98 fuel always)
I had a reply from Heinz at Honda Aust and he said the ping is an aknowledged problem, does not appear to be a answer currently but to
drop the car back at the dealer to check if its anything else.
Other than that Im extremely satisfied with the vehicle.
