  • Diesel pinging?

    No, not my TDI, but a question that may appear dumb.
    What is the diesel equivalent of pinging in the petrol engine?

    ...a loud crunching sound followed by silence?

    I'd have thought pre-ignition was a tad difficult in a diesel unless the timing was very wayward which in my experience usually means that pistons then eat valves

        No, I'm not having any problems (touch wood), but it was just a question that I had no idea how to answer - so I thought I would ask.

          Diesel knock, Detonation noise.
          I am looking for information in here on that now.
          I will post another thread.
