edd_t Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Just got the car back from Service and MOT http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=79569& Have been told the car is pinking probably due to bad fuel. But I have Optimax in it! So what could it be? Also a small leak from the exhaust centre box. Which bit is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Pinging, for sure. Why British people created the word pinking is just bizzare. Chinese whispers gone wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edd_t Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 hmmm pinging means something totally different to me! But I take it that means no one can help then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Ideally you need to find out what boost you're running, and what the AFR's are. Could be as simple as an old set of spark plugs. Could be that the fuel punp is getting weak, or the fuel filter is getting blocked and needs replacing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Shagged intercooler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 My intercooler's on it's last legs, with most of the fins missing. My car has never pinked. I did have issues with hesitancy on full boost (2nd turbo) but replacing the coil packs solved that :edit: If I actually HAD any money, I'd put it on being either ECU-reset-solveable or plugs (can you tell I'm not doing much work today ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
