Default 2 green lights on Knocklink - is that all right?

Get it about 85mph in 5th, both greens go quite mental. dont seem to d it in 4th so much.

The Knocklink hasnt been calibrated to WOT 75% - does that make much of a difference.

Do you need to be driving to calibrate it properly or can I rev to 5500 and adjust from there?

Just passed my 1000 mile oil change after a rebuild - so I appreciate the cost of it failing


Any advice appreciate
Mark

I would leave it on max sensitivity. To be calibrated properly (or at least to know if it's display the correct info) you would need to have the car checked with det cans.

If it's over-sensitive and dsiplaying background noise, then you could turn it down but you need to make sure it's not detting.

Agree with Stefan, max sensitivity is the best option. Checked with det cans you are very likely to find that a red on max sens is actually det. 2 greens with it on max should be ok IMO

You need to be driving. But as the others have said, unless you've proven the car's definitely not detting, max sensitivity would be a very good idea...
