My W126 engine still pinks on hard acceleration (280SE model) even though the car has just had a good service and the timing set. Now when starting the car after it's been standing there has always been a slight smell of fuel through the heater which goes after a few seconds. I have never really worried too much about this as most of the old cars I have owned have been the same.........however....in a bit to get rid of the pinking I changed fuel from Morrisons to Shell V Power.
The result is that the pinking has got a lot better but the smell of fuel on starting is much stronger!!!!
Anyone else had these problems/know any solutions?
Thanks
Sean
