what engine knock means?
i ask this because my engine was just replace under warrenty, and it said the cause of the blown engine is engine knock
what it really means?
is that mean it is a factory defective and totally not my fault?
cuz i want to make sure it is defective so no back fire later on if i have any problem (hopefully not...)
thx!

 

what kind of english are you using man?

 

Have you done anything to your car, or was it stock?

 

D,

those damn Torontonians (?) are always screwing up the english!

 

We're all French...give us a break

 

Muahaahahah,,,,...Actually...knock is cause by pre-mature combution of the fuel air mixture due to excessive heat and/or friction...A lot of things can cause this.....poor gasoline lower than 87 octanes....poor tuning....spark plugs burning too hot.....poor oil quality.....compression too high...turbo boost level too high...engine running too hot...bad timing...and so on and so forth...

in other words...ask your dealer what the deal is...

 

Knock, ping, pre-ignition, autoigintion.. all the same thing.

all bad.
