Pinking again
« on: 06 March 2006, 20:08 »
Hi,

Golf has started pinking again after being tuned, for the second time now.. i can only think that it is a dizzy problem.

The guy who did it last sorted it, but it gradually gets worse.

Just need some advice please, does anyone else think it is dizzy related too?

Cheers.

Are you using 97/98 RON Fuel? Get it timed on some of that!

Been using super unleaded....

Should I be using another sort of fuel?

Ive heard that super unleaded is the best fuel to use for older cars..

Try optimax, it has a higher octane rating which helps to reduce pinking.
