Stoogie Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Picked up the CTr Friday evening, drove home well chuffed. No real thrashing just a nice get to know you drive. gets up saturday starts her and engine light is on, and she's missing. Whilst driving the light stays on, at idle its flashes. took her back and i hope its nothing serious till its sorted i have a nice little jazz . got how bloody disapointing. Anyone have any ideas as to what might be wrong? its only got 200 miles on it. i know its under warranty and within 30 days return policy but i love it and just want an idea as to what might be the problem. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danksy Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Tell them to feck off and get another one mate. You might have a "Friday" car Hondas are normally bullet proof Could be anything from a dodgy ECU, fuel injectors, Coils or even worse could be a fault with the block or head Reject it... insist they give you a CTR in the meantime, and get a new one from them, with some extra goodies thrown in as standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoogie Posted February 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 it was a good buy i thought, tinted windows, special recaro's, air con full set of typr r mats, full tank and 12 month tax. just so disapointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoogie Posted February 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 i have the use of their car....a Jazz, to be honest really p****d off about this, i traded my mint audi A6 against this car too, and all i'm left with is a poxy Jazz, no offence to any jazz owners but if i wanted a Jazz i would have bought one.

Stoogie Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Update, engine valves are stiff in the head and won't open or shut correctly, so they say. Engine strip.... my response shove it, i will not have a car that i have just purchased , have its engine stripped. they say they can't find me a replacement, long look he had at least 2 mins. i am going to go ballistic i will not be fobbed off with excuses, they sold me a pile of mechanical crap, all i want is a ctr that does what its supposed to. what do i do first??? ps i am not a patient person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Send it back and buy a used S3 or R32 on something else equally as hot-hatchish! Focus ST even? I know a couple of people that have bought the CTR and have been really disappointed with it after all the hype. Don't stand for any crap, it's your money!

DanUK Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I must admit the dealers are good, they have a reputation to uphold and in my Honda Onwing Days I couldn't have asked for more! Good one! Hope you enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larder Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 I had a CTR for 18 months and it was fantastic I think it was just bad luck on your part, mine never gave me any problems and I drove it hard!! They do drink like a fish - expect aroung 25ish mpg - and they eat front tyres , I got through 3 sets (front) in 18500 miles Enjoy your new one and remember - you will want to drive it like you stole it!!! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
