Default Try changing to cooler plugs. Bosch silver F2CS.

IDEALLY YOU SHOULD GET YOUR CHIP REPROGRAMMED. I HAVE A WETT CHIP WHICH STARTED PINGING IN HOT WEATHER. GOT THE PLUGS IN (A LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN STOCK PLUGS F7'S) AND VOILA - NO MORE PINGING, EVEN IN WOT AT ANY GEAR!!

GOOD LUCK!!

Default Crossposting and misinformation

Some friendly advice, just post to one list and repost if you don't get any responses. Keeps the threads clear, too.

For example, the chip needs to be remapped for your gas. This is very common and any chipper will do it for you. Do not change your plugs.

I've posted on the plug issue for years, so there are lots of detailed archives. It's like cutting off your hand for a hangnail, a lame crutch at best.

AMS is best qualified to fix the pinging. Contact them before your engine blows up.
