I wonder if 100ron will be bad for the car though as its E10?

if you don't want the cricket sound, dont use anything with ethanol.

I used one batch of E10 100 octane fuel and got crickets within 10 minutes..

went back to BP ultimate and the crickets were gone

may i suggest not using caltex?
fill up with shell or bp 98 and see if it changes?
i only say because i had a issue with caltex on several occasions where i found water in their fuel (different occasions with different service stations, each time after noticing pinging or loss of power i imidiatly went back to the fuel station and filled up a container and tested the fuel) and i have since stopped using them all together (about 3 years now)

my first fill was Shell and second fill was BP. can't seem to feel any difference.

can't hear any pinging either.

Mistaken identity? I'm not the OP. I don't have any pinging. Caltex 98 has always been reliable for me (besides we shop at woolies so 4c off) - but thanks for sharing your experience.

"4c off"? That's bad, right?

sho · 08-08-2012, 12:55 AM

I haven't tried caltex 98 as i've been always using BP ultimate and Mobil synergy in my cars (but no more synergy

) besides this one time where i made the switch to shell v power to try to eliminate that a bad batch of fuel was the cause

im quite jealous that you boys don't have this annoying issue lol

In Australia, this happens.
Only makes up for the fact that the regular price is inflated by 4cents... But my local bowsers are always the cheapest in Sydney (love those bowser battles on the Hume Hwy)!

My bad I wasn't paying attention
Sorry

Whats your build date OP?

Could be an issue for some early car, maybe?

JiB · 08-08-2012, 03:32 AM

mines a JUNE build, no issue as of yet @ 750kms using caltex 98.

Edit- im not OP sorry

Satu23 · 08-08-2012, 03:42 AM

Lol @ JiB - i was contemplating on whether to post or not as OP but i guess it at least gives an answer that an early build date is probably not the issue.

Build Date April for me and no issues...

proficience · 08-08-2012, 03:45 AM

Build date late June here and no issues...

I doubt its down to build date though - otherwise we'd be seeing more of this... sounds like a rare issue :S

sho · 08-08-2012, 05:13 AM

Not sure of build date but June build
On the same boat as @proficience

Mine was one of the first aus builds. 4200km. I hear clicking sounds after shifting and when I press the accelerator again. Lightly or hard, low or high rpm.. it's an annoying click each time I reapply the accelerator... and then a short knock 3 times on idle if I give it hard.. is this the sound or something else?

I'm not really sure what engine ping sounds like or the DI sound either.. and YouTube don't help..
From what I do know DI clicks when injectors are active?
