Right, in my ERST when im in a high gear like 5th and doing 30mph its fine just cruising.

But if i go to accelerate fast or slow it starts to make a slight jingling sound until im at about 45mph.....

Is this because im in too high of a gear at that speed or is something wrong? It doesnt drive any different...

Its fine if im in 2nd or 3rd... just 4th and 5th...

But if im in 4th the jingling stops at at about 38mph...

Its not mega loud but i can hear it.

Thanks.

could be too higher gear mate does it sort of judder when you build speed??

Shep_Cobain

I wouldnt say judder that bad because im at 30mph. But if i was at 20mph then it would lol. Its not responsive accelerating either.

But its fine in lower gears or if im at 45+ in 5th...

I thought it be too high of gear but just wanted to check.

have you got a knock sensor on your engine mate?? could be pinking alittle and backing of ignition hence lack of response when accelerating mate

yeh could be "pinking" otherwise known as detting.
Does it sound a little bit like a crisp packed being ruffled? (dont realy know how else to descibe detting) if it does its detting/pinking then that meens getting it setup.

Try 30 in 4th mate if im just poodling thats what gear im in at 30 if im driving round town im in 3rd.

i had similar problems on mine, it were detting i thought it were a cv joint clicking lol

Like i said its fine in 1st, 2nd, 3rd at relative speeds. But when the car is at about 25 - 30mph and you accelerate in 5th gear until it reaches a speed of say 45 it jingles.

But its fine when its at a constant speed of 30 and your not accelerating just cruising.

It has been setup by MSD.

Just had a mates verdict on it.

He said its defo pinking.

I had it setup by MSD when i first got it. Didnt really tan it and kept it undercover for months. I had it booked in like 2 weeks after the set up for a health check because it was overboosting which wasnt good. Had a problem with the car starting (fuel pump) so put it under cover and left it.

Got it out just before xmas again and now its pinking and still overboosting but never did this before it went to MSD...

Gonna have to have it booked into MSD now and checked at...
