Hi All,
I know there have been a lot of posts about this before, but I cant find a final solution. My 06 focus (24000km) has always been run on 95-98 fuel. It started pinging occasionally, couple of times a day, in the last few thousand k's; but I was stuck out of town on Good Friday, with no access to premium (and almost completely out of fuel, I'd gotten lost), so had to fill up with 91. I know :( Hasn't it gone crazy! Pings it's little head off every time I even think about touching the accelerator, and using cruise on a hill just hurts. I know there were hints at an ECU flash early last year, did Ford come up with anything, or it the answer from them still "that's normal"? I just wanted an idea before its next service so I know what's available. I'll probably get the same response as I did with the ticking in time with the revs when it's cold ("we can't hear it.", "well don't start it every half-hour; it needs to be COLD."), but just thought I'd ask. Many thanks, Shane |
