Ressurecting this old thread. Turns out the pinking was down to the MAF, thanks Wammers. Swapped it out for another cheap pattern one to confirm and the pinking went away, for about a fortnight, then started throwing the same code again. Have ordered the Bosch MAF now. My question is will I...

It shall be cleaned first. Reading into Maf's seems it's worth splashing out on the Bosch one. Will an overnight battery disconnect reset the fuel trims?

Sorry i can't seem to post the link for some reason

Ouch looking at the prices I'll try cleaning it first?! Cheers This one is $20 in the states

I can't find anyone selling new purge valves only second hand ones. Anyone got an ideas where to source one- Part no. wtv100150

Mine was the 2.5 turbo it did pull well but the pins and needles I would get from the vibrations sitting in traffic at tick over began to irritate me!

Oh dear Wammers if I didn't need to depend on your fountain of p38 knowledge, promoting those oil burners would be fighting talk ;/ I've only had one and it was a classic with the VM so am understandably against them. But I have noticed the MAF fitted is one of those pattern/no brand types...

Haha I love this forum, sounds like this could be the cause thankfully. All the noise of pinking with none of the fault codes. Thanks biketeacherdave, from mr.f*ck knuckle ;)

Ok thanks Fingle

Thanks for that, my gas system does have advance the timing when running LPG, have a few questions!- Could a faulty MAF even cause pinking? Is there anyway to bench test the MAF, I don't really want to spent £150 on a new one to find it makes no difference. I only have basic OBD diagnostics...

How do all, My 2001 4.6 Thor has started linking really bad under load. It has a 12 month old LPG system fitted but does it on petrol or gas. Not long after the LPG was fitted I replaced both coils, new plugs and fitted 2 new coils. I've pulled only 2 fault codes with me cheap eBay generic OBD...

I've used a generic obd2 scan tool pulled off a couple of codes but neither what I was expecting to find. Thanks everyone

Ok thanks got a couple of names will message you. What a service! Keep digging may make it out the other side eventually?!

How do, Apologies if this is in the wrong section but I'm trying to solve a pinking issue with my '01 P38. Anyone in the Yeovil area have suitable diagnostic equipment? Thanks

This is the one I bought the chap is sending out a free replacement- https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/121952680944

Ok, the one I've bought says its stays red just stays on for 3 seconds then goes off for 10 and comes back on red when codes cleared. Might open it up and check connections. Since the above incident I know get what can only be described as whale noises from the front when I've been driving for a...

Yes followed the instructions that came with it as above. Only difference being mine has a red LED on it. I've started carrying the laptop with me wherever I go now!

Well it spat it's dummy out on the way home for the first time since switching to eas. Came up with an EAS fault left the arse end in the air and the front deflated on bump stops. Got it home like that's as the eas kicker I bought did nothing ;(, and plug in the eas suite cleared the fault and...

Sounds like a good place to start. I've got the valves and had a problem with the n/s rear going down so replaced the feed line. I guess the spray bottle method is just set it to high and spray everything you can get too. Will give it a try thanks

How do all, I've been running on my newly re-fitted EAS for a couple of months now but seems i still have a leak. I have 4 new bags, new compressor & new valve block. Also i have replaced both rear lines with 15 Bar rated vacuum tube, cut with the proper tool and chamfered with a pencil...
