Default Re: WS Fiesta - Alternative Long Term Review

"Amusing, isn't it?

Those making ignorant statements: "pinging isn't an issue" just "turn up those speakers" are the same ones who wikipedia and copy paste their arguements, when others actually go out and seek expert advice. I note that neither of the trio could actually find fault such a point: they just didn't like to be proven wrong. And there's no 'slagging' going on, healthy debate yes - on one side backed up by real mechanics from real workshops, the other from personal opinion and wikipedia etc....

Your wrong on many accounts

I have had 3 mechanics ( 2 of them being family members and over 30 years experience each real mechanics from real workshops that are NOT out to rip me off) check the engine- The pinging is not an issue- If pinging was an issue the engine would be stuffed by now with 55000km now on the clock in my car.

How may Fiestas have stuffed engines?
I know of one thats had timing belt break... and thats about it
even running the car on 91 octane will not cause a issue other than the added noise and less power.

Once again I have own 3 Fiestas with a total of 350,000 kms on them that is a valued opinion
