My B12 (1990) has started pinging under all but the lightest acceleration. What could be some of the causes for this? Would a routine tune-up help? I bought the car with 95k miles and it had reciepts for a tuneup right at 95k. It now has 107k. Thats not a very long interval for tuneups and that led me to think there could something else wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, that does sound odd because normally extended periods of pinging over weeks/months/years can lead to burning holes in the tops of your pistons.

I'll keep that in mind, though.

Thanks.
