Hey buddy

Can i encourage you to lodge a formal complaint using your VIN through
the Honda Web site.

Then give a letter of complaint to the dealer manager.

Im unsure if dyno will prove anything due to the fact that there is awesome noise coming from the rollers of the dyno. The ping noise is faint but audible
for the person who drives the car regularly.

Yep, will do.. The dyno is only for my own curiosity at actual Euro power figures, not for diagnosis. It will also become a baseline to compare against when the Honda fix is applied (or any mods I want to make later on )

x2!

Yep, keen to know the dyno results as well.

Have exactly the same problem, pining noise from 2-3k but I can hear it from almost any rev range now that my ears are attuned to it.

[H.T]

Not sure if any manual vehicle owners are having this problem, but I have noticed it in our manual Accord Euro, the car has about 1500km's on it.

Any other manual owners notice it?

waks! 103.8!!!! Hmmm cant you hit 7000 rpm as what Honda states (148Kw@7000rpm)?

note: I know the atw will be less than the power figures from honda, but 45Kw less is unexpected... the FD2 is only 25Kw less than the Honda figures

[shakkas]

the 145kw is quoted from the engine.

A dyno measures the output from the wheels, so whenever a manufacture quotes a power from the engine, so its 100kw atw ( i think) something like that

like i sed, i just not expecting the diff is more than 30%... the civic is only 20%-ish different

[Crapdaz]

the CL9 is around that with around 35kw loss through the transmission...
so not surprised that the cu2 would be round the same too.

[ok2]

How much of difference does an auto trans make to power ATW? Would expect more loss versus a manual.

that figure can vary so much between different auto transmissions, but if you used a ball park figure of 30 to 35% loss you would be fairly close to the mark
