Diagnostic help
First check that the three pressure sensors do not deviate by more than 10 kPa from each other when the engine is switched off. This check is performed because the mass air flow will later be compared with the intake pressure, which must therefore be correct. If the mass air flow does show a deviation, first check for air leaks before suspecting a fault in the mass air flow sensor.
Then check the charge air control valve, knock control function and fuel supply. Knock control is a normal engine function.
If is difficult to determine how much knocking to accept as it depends on the circumstances.
The following factors increase knocking tendency:
|
•
|
High coolant and outdoor temperatures.
|
