hey guys
I have a 2006 mazda 2 with the 1.5 engine which is roughly the same one in the DE Mazda's 2007-2014.
Car has about 230,000km on the clock and recently after the engine gets hot I've noticed it starts pinging quite badly under load between 2000rpm - 2500rpm.
Anyway just after some pointers or if anyone had a similar issue with their DY or DE mazda.
So far this is what I've done or the car had done for regular maintenance.
Fuel and air filter and spark plugs changed about 7,000km ago
Resistance check on knock sensor seems ok. (still need to somehow to do a visual check for the "goo" leak issue)
I've tried a spare air flow/temp sensor
No DCT stored.
I'm yet to do a compression test and maybe swap the ignition coils and maybe run some higher octane gas eg 98 RON.
Any ideas would be appreciated..or experience.
I'm not too fussed and I can do most repairs myself as long as I don't have to spend to much money as I am currently awaiting a delivery of a new RAV4 Hybrid (I just don't know how long I have to wait)
