Does Engine Knocking Require Repair?
1 Answers
Engine knocking requires repair, as it can cause certain damage to the engine. It may lead to a decrease in engine power, a sudden increase in fuel consumption, and in severe cases, deformation or damage to moving parts such as the cylinder walls, pistons, piston rings, valves, connecting rods, and connecting rod bearings. Timely repair is necessary. Methods to avoid engine knocking are as follows: Avoid lugging the engine: Driving at high gears with low speeds can easily increase engine load, thus advancing the ignition timing. Since the engine is in a higher gear, the RPM increase is not significant, making knocking more likely to occur. Regular maintenance: Regularly service your vehicle at a 4S shop, including cleaning the fuel system and injectors. Regular maintenance at a 4S shop, such as cleaning the fuel system and injectors, removing engine carbon deposits, and changing engine oil, is also a way to maintain the engine in good condition. Avoid high temperatures: Regularly check the coolant level, inspect and change the engine oil, avoid prolonged aggressive driving, and frequently monitor the water temperature during summer driving. Use high-quality fuel additives appropriately: There are some high-quality fuel additives on the market that can help mitigate engine knocking to a certain extent.
