Welcome germanv.

Could it be ECU not calibrated for the high octane petrol?  
You could run it low, nearly empty, then put in "normal" and see if that helps.

Otherwise, just take it back and see what they say.. You have the warranty so use it.

Hi guys...
Question... anybody knows where the EGR valve is?
Could you please post a picture of the location...

Someone said to me that the knocking problem could be because this valve.
I need to locate it.

Thank you.
