Well considering that its a new engine and new model problems are
expected to happen. I havent had any problems with the dealership I
bought the car from. They held the car and diognosed the problem and
are willing to fix it. The knocking noise happens while running and is
most apparent at 1500 rpm. As far as the Idling problem, a friend of
mine just bought a 06 civic and he is saying the same thing. I think it
has something to do with the soch v tech that closes 3 of the 4 valves
while power is not needed. If your dealer is telling you that your
crazy try a different dealer. I also had a 98 beetle and a 02 jetta and
they never had problems like this even though thier quality rating is
lower than Hondas.
