Asked by Collin Seretis
My wife purchased a Hyundai Veloster Plus last year and we noticed that the car pings under load. Our dealer said he'd never had a Veloster ping, but he would investigate to see if there is an update available for the car. There wasn't, which means that we have to put up with the pinging, which cannot be good for the engine. The service technician advised me to fill two tanks of 95-octane and maybe the computer will adjust itself. I am not happy about this and it looks like there is nothing I can do about it.
