How do you stop a diesel engine from knocking?
The key to improve the noise is to reduce a combustion noise known as “Diesel knock noise”. Conventional approaches to reduce the diesel knock are decreasing combustion excitation force due to pilot/pre fuel injection, adding ribs to engine blocks or improving noise transfer characteristics by using insulation covers.
Can diesel injectors cause knocking?
Diesel engine knocking. This is not always a cause of concern. The reason your injectors are knocking is that they are not well lubricated. If you use good fuel, the injectors would stop knocking and clicking. There is an easy way to fix that problem by replacing the injectors with new ones.

Why is my injector knocking?
Knock Knock Engine knock results from the miss-timing of the combustion process between the injector firing and piston movement, resulting in a knocking sound from the engine. This symptom indicates that more components than just the injector are now involved. The common rail pump could be contributing to the fault.
Why is my D4D Hilux motor so noisy?
These motors are famously noisy, especially when cold. This could be a few things, with many reports that the injectors are again the culprit. From our investigations, this is usually the main spindle in the centre of the injector sticking to the bore of the injector.
Why do I hear a knocking noise in my engine?
When your engine is running smoothly, the air/fuel mixture burns up in a single, controlled detonation inside each cylinder. Detonation knock is a knocking noise that you’ll hear when the air fuel mixture in the cylinders is detonating in more than once place at a time.
Can a bad knock sensor cause an engine to knock?
There’s even a knock sensor that’s designed to detect engine knock and tell the Engine Control Unit, so it can correct the problem automatically. This naturally means that a bad knock sensor can allow the engine to knock.
Are there any problems with the Hilux clutch?
There have been many reports of clutches slipping on this model HiLux, with some needing replacement in as little as 20,000km. Sure, driving style and load will play a massive part in clutch wear, and they are really a consumable part, but it is something to be aware of if buying a used HiLux.
