i think pinking is wen the engine is burning lean, causing the engine 2 run hotter and will therefore lead 2 ceasing the engine if not looked at | |

my Gsi makes a tapping noise the first few minutes after i start up! but only during cold weather, i think its somthing to do with the oil type or grade... not sure tho | |
