Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / August 2006106 XND knocking sound....
I have a 1.5 XND Diesel (105,000 miles). The car runs fine until it warms up (after 10 mins or so) and then there is a knocking sound from the engine as i accelerate in 1st and second gear only. The knocking disappears after a couple of seconds of acceleration and the car seems to run fine with no loss of power or any other untoward effects. If i accelerate very slowly the knocking does not happen or is quieter...any adeas on what could be causing this and is it serious....cheers Could be pre-ignition caused by a carbon build up.... You tried a decoke treatment? >I have a 1.5 XND Diesel (105,000 miles). > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > happen or is quieter...any adeas on what could be causing this and is > it serious....cheers > Could be pre-ignition caused by a carbon build up....

You usually squirt them in the sparkplug/glowplug holes, leave to soak overnight and then fire it up (before it get light :-) the following morning.....when the fog clears its done! Might be a red herring though....I'd hang around for a bit for a second/third opinion..... >> Could be pre-ignition caused by a carbon build up....

The other approach is to put some injector cleaner in the tank, then go and find a quiet bit of road, and (assuming that the cam belt is not past it's sell-by date) drive it flat out in second for 20 seconds or so. Put your foot to the floor and keep it there. You will see smoke in your mirror to start with but it will clear. Otherwise known as an Italian tune-up. >>> Could be pre-ignition caused by a carbon build up....

Why put some injector cleaner in the tank just add the whole bottle.cant do any harm. just smoke like some of the buses round here. Chris from Addlestone Surrey. |
