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

[EH VTi]

well, I originally voted no as I haven't heard a thing but now I am hearing a faint pinging and my missus said to me the other day that with the window down it was rattling.

Then this morning a work mate said as I drove past him on the road yesterday that the Euro was rattling its head off. He's a mechanic so I asked him for more info on the sound and he just said ' sounded like it was pinging its head off'.

Oh well, thought I was a lucky one since it has done 20,000km.....

I have just sold my car. I hope the people whom have the problem have it addressed soon, I certainly am glad I went to the trouble of finding it and fixing it myself, and it being a simple problem and not the "pinging". Good luck guys, having sort of been there in thinking I had it, I feel your pain!!!

wow bobjones... grats on the sale... but why did u sell it? (if i may know...)

[Bobjones]

Honestly, it was due to a change in family circumstances, we have 5 cars, and 2 people and only 4 garages, I was already selling my Nissan Patrol and the missus decided to get another dog. I don't put dogs in cars so I am buying a dual cab ute which will replace both the Honda and Patrol. I love the car and it will be missed, and level of luxury, handling and outright features will also be dearly missed...

Congrats on your sale, how much did you end up getting for it if you don't mind me asking and how many km's?

[Bobjones]

Now where near enough $$ to pay out my lease, but slightly better than trade, it had just over 13,000km's...immaculate, i am driving my "non-dailies" at the moment, both get about 300km to a tank...the Honda was a little better on fuel LOL...

I know ppl who has tried both 95 and 98 (at diff time) has combustion (aka pinging)problem. I want to know if anyone using 98 from the begining (except the fuel from dealer) has this problem as well?

using bp ultimate sice having it, never try other fuel,but,still have.

Have done about 3500km's now on the CU2 Euro, nearly emptied the tank on the last run so now I'm pretty sure 90 - 95% fuel in the tank is BP Ultimate 98.

Still get the "metal ball in baby rattle" sound but it is not noticeable enough for me and I've stopped worrying about it and put it down to a characteristic of this Euro.

Interestingly, I have had a close look at my CU2 fuel cap and it mentioned that the CU2 is "Ethanol fuel suitable"!!!
