Quality niggles with new Euro

[antony]

I doubt they would ever replace a faulty vehicle with a brand new one, it'd probably be cheaper for them to keep repairing the faulty vehicle under warranty. If they were to replace the vehicle they'd end up with a second hand vehicle which they would then have to fix anyway in order to sell on the secondhand market

I dont expect a new car because of a rattle,but I did not expect rattles in my new Euro.
This is my second one ,and nothing seems to be helping,as it is very intermittant.
At least the seat issue is now resolved...

On your description this probably won't help but just in case: I had a hard to diagnose rattle inside my CU2. Turned out the little silver insert in the lid of the front cup-holder was loose. A little bit of araldite fixed it up.

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.

I even got the acoustic module we got to listen to our turbines at work and had a listen to my engine.
Got a GE turbine engineer to check it out too. Found nothing. I'll see if I can get a print out.......

Sensitive hearing? LMFAO! Bet you can't even come close to that!......

Can be reproduced in any CU2? Don't think so Timmah!

Can you specify how you conducted your tests. What criteria were set for the testing etc....

Step 1. Stick modules to engine and exhaust.
Step 2. Try and produce ping/pcs any which way humanly possible.
Step 3. grin.
Step 4. proceed to take pics of engine bay with thermal imaging camera.

Glad to see that i am not the only person that thinks the statement "mild PCS can be reproduced in any CU2 with the recommended 95RON" is a gross & misinformed comment. I believe both Type R & myself have early build CU2's, 1 manual & 1 Auto that do not have the problem. So that comment is shot to pieces.

Pity that others here have problems with their Euro.
My car was in the first shipment to Australia, build date May '08. I got just over 55,000kms on the clock now.
I have got no rattles, no squeaks, no snap, crackle or pops, nothing.

The only issue I got is the door sill plastics. They scuff up pretty easy........

Dodgy euro's might have something to do with the GFC?

Was the car on a Dyno when you did this or was it stationary?
Can You attach a photograph of the Acoustic Module and how you attached it to the engine while you drove around (if this is what you did).

The build date of my car is also May 08 with 11201 Kms on the clock (I prefer to drive my 14 year old 200SX)...
Maybe, your cars came out of a DIFFERENT FACTORY???? LOL

Man, I have never seen a more negative person than you....

I'll see what I can do when I get back into work, and if the GE specialists are still here.

Be careful Matty, I will let you take over the argument now as i have had enough ..... lol
31,000kms on mine now, no issues at all except for the initial VERY MILD & INTERMITTENT PCS which was fixed without me lodging any complaint - great Dealer Service. I guess the only other problem would be it doesn't use enough fuel .....lol. 31,000 km average is 7.1

I believe the word is Persistent...

My complaint is that this issue should be investigated by HA on the remaining problematic cars. It could well be a bad batch of Knock Sensors or bad installation. HA needs to fix this issue on the remaining cars. This is not too much to ask.
