Chris! Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 I've had my Mk1 tuned by D&B Carburettors and its running really well but when I floor it sometimes it will pink and sometimes it wont, anyone got any ideas on how to stop it?? The timing's spot on
Chris! Posted October 6, 2010 Author Report Posted October 6, 2010 Are you using Super Unleaded? I wasn't, I tried V-power and it didn't make any difference. Maybe I just need to live with it.
Admin Vista Posted October 6, 2010 Admin Report Posted October 6, 2010 No you don't. Pinking is not good for an engine at all and can be very destructive. Go back to the tuner and talk to them about it. It could be that it's just too lean at certain points of the rev range.
Fiesta Steve Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 I won't be taking my car there in a hurry As Scott says, you can not live with pinking as before you know it you'll have a lovely looking piston with a hole going straight through it
Chris! Posted October 6, 2010 Author Report Posted October 6, 2010 Ok I'll take it back into them, thanks
