NEW 2009 Euro Luxury Auto Pinging

[denot]

YUP, the dealer get one of their demo car for me as a loan car for FREE.

Went in for the 1st service 3 weeks ago (with some fix to be done), identified that pinging issue present, booked in for the fix on 24/09/09. But on 24/sep, they said they have no record for the car to be fixed (because the mechanics who service my car the first time had left and he has not order the parts from HA), but i left my car there for fixing other minor issues. Was offered an Euro Base with Modulo Kitas loan car, but i requested to have a Civic Si .

Then, they call me yesterday to have the car fixed next Thursday. Will drop in the car for 2 days and get another loan car. Been very happy with my dealer.

nice! which dealer is it? (PM me if you dont mind )

Why PM? Name and shame the bad ones, and let's praise the good ones!

I've just had the phone call to say mine is ready. Just waiting for the wife to pick me up now so I can go pick up my car.

Ok, mine is booked next Tuesday (fix the Oil leak and Pinging noise). Will let you guys know how it goes... The dealer sed it will took the whole day to fix both problem, so they asked me to drop the car in the morning and pick up later before close time.

How long did you have to wait until the service department booked you in for the pining fix?

Please see attached pDF file - Acura released this bulletin for all TSX model which is equivalent to Honda Euro in Australia, for the exact same problem we all have been having so maybe you should print it out and show it to your dealer.

I had to get my handbrake adjusted at the 10k service. Would take 8-9 clicks before it would start holding.

On my second tank and still have a faint ping.
