Yes...after 8 long years.

I looked at the PI accord and Mark X but backed out. Test driven the camry,sat in a Teena before but just fell in luv with the handling and power of the GTI "engined" Superb.

I am gunning for the looks as per the attachment pix earlier.....my nick in VW forum is Whiteknight70.

Hi Whiteknight70.

European feel inside-out is always better than Japan makes. Do post your Whiteknight photos once you collected it!

I jave just booked the Skoda Superb 2.0 TSI last week. It's the latest GTI engine on a extended wheelbase of passat. Lots of legroom behind.

Yes, I have jumped onto the euro wave as well. :lol:

Planning to order my 19" rims soon. :twisted:
Good choice :clap: very envious :drool:

Hi EKen4!

You got a S2000!

Partly thanks to government policy most of us have to give up our previous ride. Looking back these 8yrs & 8mths, so many things have changed and happened around us.

Hi

I am a newbie here. Just bought a CM4 (2006). I discovered that the car vibrates when idling (especially stopping at traffic lights) and when i turn steering wheel (especially when I move off in the morning), there is a loud noise.

Appreciate if any kind bros can advise on these problems as i am getting the dealer to rectify them

Steering vibration and whining

Post by junning » Wed Nov 07, 2012 10:43 pm

Hi mayotedy,

Welcome to Accord-CM!

Have encountered both similar issues before.

Steering vibration is a commom problem for Accord-CM. Changing the engine mounts will rectify this problem.

As for the steering whining sound, it can either be due to the worn belt or your steering pump need to be overhauled.

Hi mayotedy,

Welcome to the CM club!

The vibration is common. I rectified it by using Unichip when I tuned my car. Just turn the idling a lil higher to solve the problem.... :lol: If not, you will get used to it after some time.

As for the steering, better to let your mechanic check....

Have fun driving!

I did for the past 8 years!

Thank you both for the replies.

Understand that the vibration could be due to low rpm but the steering noise seems to go off after driving some distance. Will let the mechanic check.
