Hi to All

Ive been trawling the threads for dual mass flywheel issues and this one seems relavant to me

just got my 92 shipped into UK, and while l havent driven it (seen it)yet, the guy who picked it up for me says there is a definate knock at idle.(he hasnt driven it either , just started it and let it warm up)

discounting crankshaft bearing related problems lm hoping its at worst the flywheel. I havent discounted it may have been replaced already with a single plate fidanza type and therefore it seems knocks and rattles go with those, but thats only a guess

Anyway, l will get to see car soon and work out where noise is coming from.

In the meantime (in the absence of manuals to hand) and taking it for a run, my main questions are

1)If it is stock dual mass flywheel problem, can l carry on driving it as normal(ish) without doing any harm.

2) does a problem flywheel cause regular spaced sounds or irregular

3) can a worn out harmonic balancer cause knocking

4) could it be a bad injector

are there any uploaded sound files of engine faults?
