I need some advice with a ZETEC as well.

Its on a little 1.25 fiesta zetec, problem being its 'pinking', even with superunleaded in it.

What could be making it pink and how can I sort it (I am guessing the ecu sorts out the timing and it cant be changed by me?)

The 1.6 Zetec E would be a great little engine with a turbo/charger, but tbh why would you spend the money on it when a 2.0 is alot better. You can get the 2.0 for very cheap now
