Apparently the Accord Forum mod can only make the change ie aaronng or AccordEuro13

I've added the third option for you all.

I don't have a CU2 and so I can't vote but I'd like to see the results. Just because I don't have one yet doesn't mean I don't want one. The pinging issue reported in this forum and others as well as forums overseas is enough to put me off buying one until it's fixed or until the V6 is launched in OZ. Hopefully if it is launched, it doesn't ping as well (lol).

My local dealer principal did not even know that such a V6 beast exists and will be made in Japan for the North American market. The local dealer principal told me that there are no new models to be expected from HA this year.

I wonder why some one would rate this thread a 1 = terrible. What's wrong in finding out the truth????

I didn't rate it but, I think it may have been because we have beaten this topic to death.

So true, but whilst is still an ongoing issue people will continue to talk about it. The sooner this is over the better it will be for every one.

Probably should have said for autos only, I haven't heard of a single manual Euro that has this problem.

I have the manual and it has the post combustion noise.
The noise is faint but anyone who knows anything about engines
would be able to pick it up.
Of course there are members with CU2's who may not be able to hear this engine noise, but actually have it in their car. And thats just to bad.
Honda can justify all it likes at $45,000 i dont want no frikkin noises from the motor.

My car has done 6,700kms, from here on end im just floggin the crap out of it.
As i said before between 4 and 5000 rpm is where it's at with the Euro.
The euro loves to be revved so do it rev hard and enjoy....

That's so true. I could imagine there might be some hearing impaired people out there that may not be hearing anything at all. I hope they don't miss out on any possible future fix.

Sorry to hear you ahve the problem as well VIDSEURO. I tend to agree that people are likely to have the 'pinging' issue but are either unware or assume it's normal and haven't questioned it.

**ozscott** · 19-05-2009 09:35 PM

I wonder how widespread it really is and whether the noise is an engine damaging noise like pre-detonation...I am about to make a purchase and my heart says Euro all the way, but my brain is starting to think perhaps Mazda 6....Arrrgghhhh!
