detonation doesnt usually make a knocking sound, more like a ticking, or "BBs dropping into a can" which is still the best example, which ones does your sound like??

wow, I though it was only us STI guys that were getting the early 04 detonation

yeah theres been a ping reflash from SOA since last year, at least for the STI, most dealerships just dont know about it and have to be told that its out there, it blows me away how ahead of the curve any average forum member is compared to an actual dealership service department
