[s-cars] Knock Sensors/Pinking Noise

[Tony Curran]

In England it is known as "pinking". Probably also borrowed by antipodean
buddies in Aus too - and probably most Commonwealth countries of significant
British influence. Alas, proximity to the US means Canada borrows certain
elements of the English language from the south - or could it be the other
way round!

A failed knock sensor will show up Vag-com. Also, a failed knock sensor will
cause a severe loss of power.

When you say pinking, you mean pinging, as in light pre-ignition detonation?

If you are getting pinging, then it could be bad gas (petro).
