Wingnut Member 573 Member For: 16y 5m 26d Gender: Male Posted 08/06/13 03:00 AM Share Posted 08/06/13 03:00 AM My car has been doing this for about 3 years now. As well as blowing smoke, using about a litre of coolant a week, making a horrible knocking noise and running bone dry of oil twice... But she's still kicking! Get it checked ASAP or you will be in the position I'm in which is just waiting for it to grenade as I know it's going to cost me a fortune to fix whether I do it now or when it is in pieces all over the road. One thing though, these cars can be quite durable when they want to be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 10m Gender: Male Posted 08/06/13 03:07 AM Share Posted 08/06/13 03:07 AM So I took it to my mechanic and he said that the timing had advanced its self to far, and suggested to run 91 octane fuel so it would pick up on the nocking and pull the timing back its self.. now I have given a small amount 91 (not wanting to put to much through) with no luck as of yet.This made me laugh. Some guys are just so full of sh-t or just plain stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordyG Member 9 Member For: 11y 10m 9d Posted 08/06/13 03:38 AM Author Share Posted 08/06/13 03:38 AM hahah, yeah I am no mechanic myself but have a fair handle on it, was definitely a little apprehensive on the 91 idea. so I only put $20.00 in whilst my tank was fairly low, Thinking well... its a cheep fix if it does work.As for the case of having this kind of problem for three years, I do feel pretty safe that my engine will not throw a leg out of bed in the next week or so haha, in saying that its F***ing annoying and am keen to have it gone !Thanks for your help so far everyone.
