Golf R Observations and Questions

[KRA21E]

Rosey, where did you get this "no knock sensor" nonsense???

Fyi, when we tuned my car, the knock sensor was one of the critical components that was monitored to ensure safe levels of timing and boost.

Knock sensors are one of the critical components in modern fuel injection systems and are primarily used to adjust timing and prevent detonation.

Comment by all means but makes informed comments and dont just use words you heard during the day without understanding them.

Rosey,

What is stoich?

Forget that, lets talk about something important. Have you got a non slip liner in the boot for groceries? I bought some stuff from Bunnings and it's really good. Then again the non slip stuff only comes into effect if cornering at anything more than slight.

Sure. One of our cardigan wearing fraternity detailed this in the Accessories thread.

It looks the goods too.

Relax!!
I put the word "IF" in there. I did that because I do not know whether it does or does not.
From the hostile responses I would take that as a "yes" it does have a knock sensor.

Very briefly then can you tell me if the sensor merely retards the engine or actually give you some sort of warning.

And please don't get so riled by such an innocent post.
cheers

lol, Your harsh, funny but harsh! What the stoick is stoick?! I hope your not talking about anything to do with afr's, egt's etc...

Btw, I love my non slip liner because my stuff for work doesn't end up all over the boot after a few corners!

Haha, Rosey, stop getting us all worked up!

The knock sensor does retard the timing when it detects the onset of detonation...simple but very effective form of insurance against engine damage.

Corey, keep making comments like that about the more mature members on here and you may have to give yourself an infraction! :p

I thought it was not in great taste either.. but appreciate the recognition for finding something that is both form and function

It's ok, that comment was by and for PTW.

Great thread. Tackling the hard questions that need to be answered.

Ptw, you want to get technical again??

Here is a question then...with the increase in boost pressure after the tune, im wondering if the stock DV is remaining closed on full boost and WOT...if not, i wonder if putting a stiffer spring inside the stock unit is possible ie where can i find a spring that will fit?

Any idea's?

You might want to put it on again...its getting cold out there!

Serious question, do you wear a golf cap when you drive the R?

Sorry, couldn't help myself!!

Actually i have been wondering what size sub you are running in your R and do you have the Dynaudio option?

WTF is with this DV talk? Good god man, get with the times and the rest of the auto community - BOV.

If the macca's carpark group w4nk thing is your scene, then by all means go ahead and put a bigger spring in, any spring, doesn't matter. You could remove the thing altogether at show & tell for all the engine bay gawkers, that'd really get them exctited. Or get an externally venting type that whistles like a HKS SSV to have the young lasses cracking moisty's

You've got bugger all more boost haven't you, ~2psi? Leave the stock one there.

Yes but backwards so I fit into this forum

Why would you need a sub to listen to 2CH ??
