2009 Pinging and Valve Clearance Issue

[tknova]

Honda Australia's official position is that pinging is normal under certain operating conditions.

If that's the case, I'd be asking Honda to provide me with a list of the 'Certain Operating Conditions' that the pinging will occur.

Total rubbish.....

Sorry guys but Honda really screws up big time with the ping issue on the CU2.

Don't get me wrong, the CU2 is a fantastic car for the money but let down by a problematic engine and powertrain.

AFAIK, there is no fix for the pinging in the CU2.

Anyhow, let us know how you go.

My CU2 ping from new and drove me nuts. This is how I solve my pinging issue (see URL below). My feeling is that Honda has been reading my post and has just release a 0w-20 just for the CU2 - coincidence!!

Now I'm really enjoying the CU2. Took the CU2 for a blast up the Putty Road to Singleton and back on Saturday. The CU2 is a capable car once you keep the revs in the happy zone.

Call my mate Johnny on 0423-131-170 as he stock the Amsoil and give great service and pricing.
