[CU2] Does your car have an issue with a "post-combustion detonation sound"?

**unity** · 16-05-2009 02:31 PM

Mark Higgins from HA made the following comment in a recently published article regarding the "post-combustion detonation sound" that has been reported by some owners of the new Honda Accord Euro.

"It's a handful of cars. We've sold 9000 or 10,000 Euros in the past year and it's around 60 vehicles maximum."

To guage the acuracy of this comment, and to guage the extent of this problem would owners of a CU2 with this "post-combustion detonation sound" please indicate if they do indded have this problem or think that they may have this problem.

I went with "maybe/not sure" since there wasn't an option for "definitely no".

Also, the poll here would most likely not reflect that of what Honda has said because pretty much only car enthusiasts, honda lovers or specifically CU2 owners who have the problem and looking for a fix on the net would be a member or lurking on this forum.

The majority of the people who buy the CU2 just buy the car for what it is and of those who don't have the problem then the chances are most likely they are not on this forum. They would basically be out there enjoying the car.

The poll is only to identify those that may or do have the problem. I would like to see no one out there with the problem. But unfortunately it's out there and it exists. People that don't have the problem are not required to answer the poll at all.

If that is the case then there was not much need to make a poll imo. I honestly thought that you wanted to see from the poll whether the ratio of problem to no problem CU2s provided by Honda is an accurate indication of the extent of affected vehicles.

Anyway, in your case I would assume it would probably be better to just have the CU2 owners who have the problem or are unsure/maybe (think they) have the problem to just sign up or something.

I didn't know any other way of doing it. Honda talked in absolute figures and gave a very specific number affected. I'm just trying to get a figure overall from people on OZHONDA. Maybe if he came out and said:
"It's a handful of cars. We've sold 9000 or 10,000 Euros in the past year and it's around 60 OZHONDA MEMBERS' vehicles maximum."

Then he might be more believable.

Well, I voted yes so that puts it at 50% of the cars are affected lol

The first vote was actually meant to be a no. They choose the maybe / not sure option because there was not a "No" option. I am only trying to establish the number of affected vehicles. Not the ratio between affected and unaffected.

People are going to want to vote, and if they don't have the pinging they'll pick maybe. Can you change it to include a 'definitely no' option too, so your poll will be more accurate? Your tally of pinging vehicles will be unaffected too!

Is it possible to edit a poll? How do I do it?
