Quality niggles with new Euro

[buddah51au]

I have had my CU2 for 20 months now & the only problem was very mild, intermittent PCS, other than that it is faultless.

Anthony, sorry to hear the rattling back again mate, Please go back to the dealer again and they will fix it for you. I think we both bought our CU2 base model auto buron silver prettymuch same time rite(i bought in march 28th), except mine is jan 2010 built My10 and yours is My11.

I have no problem with my euro, i can't remember how many times i goes over the speedbreaker bit faster and it hit bumm bumm, and sudden brake few times(which is after 400km on the clock anyway)..except with few silly mistake i made rash my allowy wheel and slightly damaged the bumper my car is running perfect..I opened all windows sometimes and drive plus sometimes closed all windows and drive with AC on, no ping issue or rattling..

I think the dealer can fix your rattling problem for sure...

Thanks and good luck

Anthony,

Sorry to hear about your rattling noise coming back. Defintely go back to the dealer, I suspect they may not have installed it properly. In March this year, I have my CRV bottom cushion replaced under warranty due to a collapsed cushion. The tech has to diamantle the seat to fit the new cushion. No rattling noise what so ever after the fix. In NZ the big Honda dealers are all owned by Honda Corporarte and the tech are all Honda trained. It does make a difference based on the skill of the Tech.

Don't give up too early as I personally did not experience any seat rattlling across 7 different honda models.

The seat has not been replaced yet.
This is a rattle coming from the right door panel/B pillar/roof airbag ???

Driving home last night,I went over all the cats eyes in the rosd,and it brings them on beautifully.

My luck,rattles in a car drive me crazy,but I really did not expect them from a Euro...

2 cars previously I had a Holden Astra sedan,and after 6 and a half years,not 1 rattle.

My Parents have a 10 year old Toyota Corolla sedan,no rattles.

This is allready my second in 2 months of ownership,and its going in for the 3rd time next week for the same problem.

I baby my cars,and have only just done 4000 kilometers,very disapointed.

I feel for you. I can't stand rattle noise myself. You don't buy a Honda to get a rattle problem. You are right about it is the niggling problems that is most frustrating.

I once have a rattle noise in my then almost new CRV. It turns out to be the front passenger side seat belt buckle is knocking against the side door panel. Once I adjusted the buckle, the noise went away.

If you can't pinpoint the rattle problem, I would suggest you take the service technician in the car for a ride and let him hears the noise. Hopefully, they can identify the source of rattle noise.

Depends on luck. My 2002 Astra rattles very very badly. The center section where the temperature and radio display is rattles. When I put my hand on it, the noise goes away. The rear suspension tower also rattles, eventhough everything is tight...

I think I have a lemon...

Today,when reverse parking,my left door mirror tilted down only half way...and wont tilt all the way down like it always does...WTF ...

So one more thing to attend to on Tuesday,

I am LOVING Honda ownership...lol.

Car was in for the day today,and I got my new seat fitted,which looks very similar to the origional one...maybee a bit better though.

Mirror was adjusted,and I took the top technician on a drive,who heard the rattle.
Spent a few hours lubricating all the windows and channels,as is convinced it has got to do with the glass ???

I did not hear anything driving home,but if it is not solved,they promised me they will give me a loan car,and keep mine until it gets sorted out...

Mentioned it might have something to do with the body seals ???
If that is the case,which they doubt,they will get Honda Australia involved..........................

I hope your rattle problem is now fixed permanently ...

What is it with the body seal? Do they mean the rubber seal around the door frame? It must be a serious enough problem in order for them to get Honda Aust involved.

I also hope the rattle is gone.
No,the seal around the door frame has been replaced on the left side.

They just mentioned that if the rattle has not gone,it may be because of body flexing,in which case they will have to involve Honda ...

I say lets be positive,and truly hope that all these silly,but very annoying issues are behind us now ..................................

This is the same with my car. I have no other complaints except how HA have brushed this issue aside.
Look. after 3 tanks or so the PCS settles down when using BP Ultimate but it is still there in a very "mild" form and you need very good hearing and know what to listen for.
However, there are still a lot of CU2s out there that simply PING (not PCS). I have heard several.

BTW Didn't you say that your car didn't have PCS?

I have stated before that my PCS issue was resolved 17,000km ago with no further issues at all. As a matter of fact it was the dealer that contacted me to resolve the issue as it wasn't originally bad enough for me to warrant a complaint.

[Irving]

No Disrespect intended but I believe that "mild PCS" can be reproduced in any CU2 with the recommended 95RON and even Caltex or Shell 98RON. It's a case of having sensitive hearing and knowing what to listen for.

If HA wishes to dispute this statement they are welcome to repute it here.
