Guys, i hav a knocking issue.
My waja (renault) engine havent being driven since last Dec and i only drive it around the neighbourhood once or twice a month and start the engine every weekend.
Last week, i notices the engine knock whenever i do moderate acceleration be it flat ground or slight climb. This does not happen before last Dec.
I can only think of 2 things...
-engine require tune up. Unlikely as i never remove the battery terminal. Then again, this cas is quite sensitive to low battery and it happen at least twice where the starter only turns once and car could start before i hook on the charger.
-timing belt problem as i encounter before a melted either tensioner or idler pulley when i forgot that the timing belt interval is 60k and its already 80k. this timing belt has another 20k of life on it.
