Problems with the Euro

[The X Man]

I treat and look after the car well, even the dealer and engineer commented on its overall condition. That said the noise isn't CV related, it comes and goes depending on the load the engine is under and with throttle response and any given speed.

I feel sorry for you.Your car sounds like its a piece of shit.My car is the opposite.66000kms.No problems,tight as a drum,no rattles,even with Eibach/Bilsteins on it and running 40 PSI.Not much you can do but keep on Hondas case to fix it.Good luck.

Just wondering, does any CU2 owner have a problem with the fuel door sticking and refusing to open?

I've seen this on 3 CL9's. If you look at the inside of the fuel door, there is a little metal tab that is supposed to spring against the body. Sometimes that tab can get bent too much towards the fuel door. Just bend it back towards the body slightly and the door should spring open again.

I've had my 04 CL9 for a little over a year now and have had no problems at all, until a few days ago when the sunroof suddenly started making rattling sounds! (I've done a search and it seems to be a somewhat common problem, makes the same sound as a box with screws in it and you start moving the box around). However, it just stopped rattling the other day.. very weird.

hmm most of the problems here r the lux model

[Phased]

I don't think that the problems are related to the model. :P

The problems (excluding the sunroof, and fog lights) are capable of effecting all models. I just think Luxury's are more common among enthusiasts. When you look at the price difference... The luxury is very good value. Sunroof, HID's, Fog-lights, Heated Seats, Leather Trim, Larger Rims(thus wider tyres), Electric Seats, Extra Two+ airbags (earlier models) & Rain Sensor Wipers; all for around $7k... not bad.

It won't explode. What tyres and rim size are you using? Tony1234 has great Continental tyres, which probably absorb the bumps much much better compared to the cheaper brands/model of tyres. My Bridgestone RE001 used together with coilovers have a limit of about 36 psi. If I go to 38 psi cold, then the upper pillowball mounts rattle very badly.

I have had on my 2006 lux:
- front discs machined at 25K kms
- new engine block due to porous block
- brake master cylinder leak

other than that, no ratlles, tight as, only 40K kms, now looking at lowering it with Eibach prokit with ingalls rear camber kit...

i have stock 16inch wheels with tires that came with the car when i bought them....sp sport i think they are. there starting to wear after 3+ years now so will be needing some new ones soon. hopefulli can save up enough to get new rims and tires by the time current ones are no loonger any good =]
