I've tried 99 Octane fuel, but made no difference. Going back to basics can anyone confirm the part numbers to work with a 2.0l DESK Mondeo ECU on a 2.0l Silver Top Zetec, Fiesta Alloy Inlet manifold and Brown Injectors.
MAF Throttle Body Throttle Position Sensor Any other 2.0 Mondeo specific sensors or parts?

This is what I originally (stupidly) tuned mine to which caused pinking on any other fuel. Might be worth a go to at least see if it is likely fuel related. I'd say at least to try a new tank of fuel, I've heard anecdotal of pinking on same octane different brand fuel. I've some octane boost lying about I bought for the Ireland trip as there was no super available over there, however it didn't seem to help for me. if you happen to be passing you are welcome to it. Although I doubt it will prove anything.
