There is a difference between detonation... Ping... Knock... Pre detonation....If your tuner doesn't know why your car is detonating then he probably doesn't know if it even is detonating .... 1

Again not naming your tuner can you give us an idea of what mods are done to the car.. How high it went and how far he had to wind it back?

Markcam Member 19 Member For: 12y 6m 4d Posted 16/05/14 11:48 AM Author Posted 16/05/14 11:48 AM Yeah It's weird.. Hopefully it's nothing major.Thanks for your advice

If one is blocked for whatever reason (might have been dropped, bit of packing plastic etc stuck in it) you'll have one cylinder running lean and it'll be more likely to ping - but the tailpipe AFRs might be fine.
