Hi Team-BHP

This is my first post in this forum

I have a 2004 model Santro Xing. The car has clocked around 35,000 Km.
I had used only Xtra premium petrol from the day i purchased the car

Around one month back the car engine started knocking. The service engineers couldn't find any issues with the engine, but they accepted that engine is knocking after the car reaches around 60Km/hr. They suggested that the problem could be because of the premium petrol I am using and asked me to change it to normal petrol.

I am using normal petrol from then onwards, but the issue is still there.

I have heard that usage of normal petrol could lead to knocking in the long run, but this is the first time I am hearing usage of premium petrol could lead to knocking.

Can any of you guys advise me on this? Has any one faced similar issues?
