hey guys.

i changed my oil today so im happy, you get that new car feeling lol,

gonna plug laptop in later and see if the knock sensor is still faulting,

 

youd be shocked at this....

 

the wires on the ECU side of the knock sensor plug, the black one has a chock block in it! and the brownish colour one has a split in the insulation, i can see naked corroded wire!! me tinks thats why it throwing a code,it didnt throw it the other day when i read them of the dash.maybe bad software,ECUtalk.mite try reading it from the ECU led again.so its still in safety mode:sad:,gonna whip my soldering iron out lol.wrap it loads of tape.

 

also, its probly me bein sceptical but i think my motor is knocking, but it could be lifter tick?

is there anyway to define the two?

if it is its goin on ebay:sad::mad2:

lets hope not.

lifter rattle is quite common on zeds . now you have given it an oil change it should hopefully clear after a bit of running . what oil have you used ? 5/40 is a good oil to use , nice and thin so will help with the noisy lifter . you can also add a lifter treatment that will help further .

can you take a picture?

picture of what mate? yea think i will.

 

hey andy,

ive used 10w40 semi,yea prob just me lol.

 

thanks

10w40 is just fine. I use Millers 10w40 XSS semi-syth, never had a problem.

Think the manual suggests 10w40 anyway.

sorry to hijack, but are there any other cures for lifter tapping? ive tried wynns and given an oil change, but its still there more often than not??????
