mattbagshaw Posted November 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 :/ anyone know what mileage i should be getting from the car aswell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Depends what kind of journeys do you do and how much fuel you fit in the tank. At least 250 I would have thought.If it were running rich it wouldn't be pinking though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbagshaw Posted December 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 the redex has seemed to completely gotten rid of the pinking, must have been something in the injectors that was making it happen.. thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbagshaw Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 ok so hte problem came back people tryed redex again hasnt worked this time and it has got seriousy worse i mean, loud,any revs constant with any pressure on the accelerator, someone please tell me what could be the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 What have you changed so far then? What plugs do you have?Find a garage that has an ultrasonic injector cleaner if the Redex worked temporarily.When was your Cambelt last changed?

mattbagshaw Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Got some plugs with like titanium/ platinum can't remember tips and they were what were me t to be in the car, but has done this on what ever plugs I have changed them a few times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbagshaw Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Is pinking dangerous for my engine should i take it to a garage just to get them to check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 If its minor it probably won't be a problem - however if it gets worse it will knacker your pistons.Personally I'd take it to a mechanic and see what they say, you could spend a small fortune changing random parts we recommend on here when in reality it's a 50p hose or somethingPost up what they say though please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattbagshaw Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Yeah but for some reason the car didn't do it and didn't even when I drive it, then just doing again now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renard27 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) Mine is pinking too, I changed the plugs today and they were black and filthy so it doesn't appear to be running weak. I'm going to change the oil and filter and air filters tomorrow. If that doesn't do the trick I'll try cleaning the injectors. Not familiar with this new-fangled stuff, this is the first water cooled car I've had in over 20 years. Edit. That did the trick, runs sweet now.
