As I had that there is a pinging sound from some bros, may I know is the Japan Made or the Aust Made one?

COs I am driving the Japan made one, and it sound fine, no pinging sound just feel that the low end is slow. and the consumption now is 9.5km for 1 Litre. with and without Ramming and comfort drive.

and I tried to drive at 130 km/hr, the car is stable and good.

Comments for this Accord Good.

Reading on the OzHonda forum it seems that Honda is now starting trials for a fix on the pinging issue. Apparently it involves software update as well as a new knock sensor? One guy who had it fitted says the sounds have thus far disappeared, but then again too early to tell. Lets hope our PIs here are able to bring this update in.

I called up 3 PIs & they quoted me $34K omv for the JDM Accord but when I called Vincar, their omv was only bet $22-25K.Can anyone enlighten on the difference? :think:

Regards to OMV Different.

Post by kizzte » Fri Jul 10, 2009 1:37 pm

First I have to say the different in OMV btw Japan and Australia is becos at the time of buying from the supplier at the country. The exchange rate for sin to Yen dollar is weak, so need to pay more sin to buy jap and pay japan. Secondly when come to singapore custom, the custom will have a 3 week sin vs Yen exchange rate and take the highest to let the dealers to declare the amount bought in Yen and then convert it thus costing the omv to be higher and the cost too.

For the Aust or NZ accord y the OMV is Lower, the main cause is the currency.

As a few years ago Y no ppl import Aust or NZ cars, thats becos the yen is more attractive then the Aust and NZ, and somemore Japan make most ppl like it.

Just my 2 cents of words.

My average is a miserable 10.6 km per litre, out of 2 months and 9053 kms of driving. Best so far is 737km on 65l of fuel. Still fully stock except for the foggies and auto dimming mirror.
