If his original got no return means pressure already controlled by ECU? If yes, will the regulator work?
Knocking sound from engine
- Thread starter Jeremy9544

Guys, i hav a knocking issue.
My waja (renault) engine havent being driven since last Dec and i only drive it around the neighbourhood once or twice a month and start the engine every weekend.
Last week, i notices the engine knock whenever i do moderate acceleration be it flat ground or slight climb. This does not happen before last Dec.
I can only think of 2 things...
-engine require tune up. Unlikely as i never remove the battery terminal. Then again, this cas is quite sensitive to low battery and it happen at least twice where the starter only turns once and car could start before i hook on the charger.
-timing belt problem as i encounter before a melted either tensioner or idler pulley when i forgot that the timing belt interval is 60k and its already 80k. this timing belt has another 20k of life on it.

Done 60k km, but how long ago when changed?
My Accord last time, bought 2nd hand done 30+k km. Mechanic say can change at 60k, so continue using. At 40+k km timing belt broke but already passed 5 years. Therefore to me is like engine oil, 10k km or 6 months, so timing belt, for me is recommended mileage vs 5 years.......lol
Nope i havent used shell for years. Bad fc and that feeling of engine not running smooth. Caltex/BHP most of the time. When both not available it will be Petronas.
On the timing belt...i totally dont recall.as short as 3 years to as long as 5 years.
Timing belt cost...ouch....Guess it will rest a bit longer.
u can try fuel-up with caltex ron97 full tank and drive it a little bit hard to cleanup carbon deposits inside the engine...
Go highway cruise at 110kph also can, my wife always say engine smooth and better to drive after coming back from outstation.......lol
Update,
after making the car legal again last month i pour in Petron first as thats the nearest brand available that time. Knocking is still there.
Once empty, pour in Caltex 95 and it reduces the knocking after 1/2 tank. Now its gone. Should have use my endoscope to see inside the cylinder for before and after.
On a side note, anybody notice the kinda-nice smell the exhaust produce when using caltex?
I notice this on both my BLM and Waja.
My VR have issues with Shell. Long ago tried before, lost power. Last year tried again, after 2nd tank drop in power, 3rd tank won't rev past 4k RPM. Now back to Petron running fine......lol
