Just thought that I woudl update you all regarding our ongoing pinging on 91 RON and no power when vehicle is operating when the ambient temperature is uner 8 degress celcius and using 98 RON fuel. The car has now been at the dealership for over three weeks now.. After Ford Australia stating in writing that pinging was a natural characteristic of the car. Strangly they are undertaking tests and parts replacement for this "normal characteristic" The funny part is that if i wanted to have a car that sounds like a diesel i would have purchased a diesel. the dealership have under the instruction of Ford now replaced virtually every engine management sensor possible. They have also concluded that the car is running lean, thus the pinging that will cause damage to the engine over time. Ford Australia have not contacted me since raising the issue with them. The car has the latest specification PCM (powertrain control module)
