Hi GemLeo,

 

Yup, engine refresh is engine flushing. Tan Chong always give ECU readout when servicing. Everything is "OK". But of course... everything to AD is ok one.

 

Dtitan,

 

Last tank I used Caltex 98. No sound also. But sian, cos Latio supposed to be able to use RON92. Don't know why like that.

Hi Legan,

Yea I understand,

anyway price between 95 & 98 is bit more.

Take it as extra cleaner everytime u pump petrol lor..

Take it easy.

Maybe u can consider going to Malaysia short trip,

1 day to KL, shop shop, then back to Sin.

Think it will help alot..

 

Cheers

Hi Legan,

 

Did you try the Redline fuel cleaner?

 

Is actually the same stuff as Techron but

a lot more concentrated.

Update

 

After changing engine oil and doing an engine flush at Tan Chong Motors yesterday, I went to top up Caltex Ron95 again.

 

End up the knocking sound is even louder.

 

Sian. Don't know what to do next

 

 

have you tried clear carbon as many suggested?

just change the damned spark plugs can or not? It's obvious that they need to be changed even if there's no pinging but what I see is that you're just lazy to get it done.

Bro, not lazy to change. is there is a lot of things to remove in order to access the plugs for Latio. Plus plugs for Latio is expensive. And labour is expensive too.

 

Just want to try other options first.

Tried clear carbon at high rev for 10mins only. no use also, maybe need to go north....

 

have tried STP. Maybe will try Redline.

[Panhard]

if use 98 octane no problem then just continue using it

dont mess up the engine with all kinds of repairs/upgrade....

still cheaper this way.

[Jamesc]

Isn't changing plugs cheaper than flushing engine?

[Dtitan]

Hi,

Dun think the ping got anything with

the plugs.

 

Latio plugs can last 100k km as stated in manual.

 

i jus changed mine at 95k,

it started to ping at 110k km.

So dun think its the plug.

 

cheers

[Bighappyjer]

wtf 100k?? I change plugs at 25~30k.

Bro, is Tan Chong using the original Denso spark plugs?

Went over to Ubi branch last week and they used NGK ones instead.

Hi bro,

Try 98 caltex,

i tried for abt 2 fulll tanks before the

ping sound goes away.

 

I tried after Caltex 98, i switch to

caltex 95.

After a while the ping came back

n i switch back to caltex 98, sound gone.

 

Good luck

 

im mostly on caltex 95.. still not sure what pinging sounds like..

am used to the noise... from engine and tyres..

 

but the noise doesnt sound irregular to me...

So many people have pointed fingers at the spark plugs and you still refuse to change. Oh well

[Kangadrool]

Of all, spark plug is probably the cheapest to change.

Latio plugs alone is $120 or more. Havent include labour to remove remove intake manifold etc.

 

it's that troublesome

Just buy normal spark plugs from stockist lah. There's Fong Tat and Teck Guan for you too choose from.
