VR6Pete 1,455 Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 well, first of all, its doesnt misfire, splutter. but driving back from blackpool ive noticed that it's pinking under any load. it never used to do this. it also sounds as if there is no oil in the engine, but there is and it just sounds SO rough it's unreal. any ideas?

tommy 0 Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Oil pump failure possible.................bottom line is you need to get it to a garage and run some diagnostic's on it....ive had an oil pump go before but I also got the oil warning light and a buzzer coming on so I just pulled over.............Id say don?t drive just get it transported to the garage u normally use or you risk FUC**** the engine up completely &| Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted September 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 its fixed now, it was the tappets causing the ODD noises, and the pinking is between 3 - 4, so between most gear changes I hit that region, thus giving the impression of loss of power. I've had the ignition timing taken back again to give the knock sensors an easier life, however these figures are getting a little high, could anything else be causing it to pink around this area of the rev range?
