Default A4 2.6L V6 1996 B5 pinking at low speed

Hello
My Audi A4 2.6L V6 1996 B5 sounds likee it is pinking at low rpm and speed. I use 95 octane gas as its most commonly available and what the engine usually runs on.

What might be a cause to the engine pinking at low speed?
Do i need to check the engine timing with a timing light - what do i look for?
Are there any common causes to this issue? and
how do i go about diagnosing / repair without access to the VagCom diagnostic tool?
