Welcome to the forum

Go to 98 octane. Even though its a bit more expensive, it equals it out in better mileage.

If u switch to 98 octane and the sound stops, then its most certainly pinging. I dont think ford can do much abt pinging than advising u to switch petrol.

If the sound doesnt stop with 98 octane, its something else and u can pester ur dealer to fix it. Switching petrol atleast would bring some clarity abt the prob.

And hey, once u go 98, U'll never wanna go back
