Now I know pinking can be the start of alot of bad news, but I only noticed it today in traffic when she is under load at ~ 2500rpm....i.e. just coming on boost!
Is pinking that 'metallicy' tappety sound that you can hear under load?
not so much a knocking?
My local garage has stopped selling super unleaded, and this is the first time in AGES that I have had to fill with 95(spit!)RON without any octane booster,
some interesting reading here about the causes of pinking

but what are your opinions.....is the pinking primarily due to the combination of lower octane fuel and a warm intercooler from sitting in traffic?
As luck would have it, I am booked in with a local tuner tomorrow for a session on the rollers to get a power figure before I start to throw endless amounts of money into her, so fingers crossed!
but I am just looking for your opinions
