I m looking to buy a new CU2 Standard Euro Auto soon, but am worried about the pinging/knock sensor issue. Is there any info stating that the problem has been fixed in newer models or is it the same old?
Hi everyone, im still new to cu2 since i bought it 1 month ago from private seller. i already try revving from 2k to 5k rpm but heard nothing bout the pinging.. can somebody tell me whats the exact pinging sound like? cheers.

Nah mate, a few unlucky people got the 'ping'. Seems to be mostly auto's, base and lux.

Road tested vehicle & confirmed engine combustion noise, requires to be rebooked for repairs as per honda australia when parts available.

Try to drive in auto mode....I rarely seen people with manual CU2 complaining here with the ping issue... I think best way to listen the sound is close your windows, turn off steror and see any sound you can hear....
Guys just a qustion...If they apply the patch for pinging, do they record that in logbook?

Ditto mate,
Just enjoy the car, and let us know if you hear something untoward :-)
No record of the patch/fix/unfix. Unless it's a safety recall, there is no owner viewable record of such fixes. It's one of the ways manufacturers make it difficult to judge what's really happening. In a safety recall, they usually apply a small label on one of the door posts. This they have to do in case the ACCC does an audit. But voluntary work like the ping fix goes unrecorded as far as the public is concerned. That's how they can claim that there are only 60 affected cars in the whole of Australia: You simply couldn't prove any different.
