Knocking/ rattling

The engine knocks or 

rattles (diesel engine) 

more under load It runs 

less smoothly than in 

stock tune.

•  If you have the impression that your engine knocks or rattles 

more than in stock tune, please take the car for a few test 

drives to be sure that your first impression was right. On the 

test drive, pay special attention to the engine’s behaviour 

under load – the RaceChip only works then. On the test 

drives, check to see if the increased knocking/rattling occurs 

in all 3 tuning stages (

EFFICIENCY

SPORT

RACE

) on the 

RaceChip App. The information helps us to find the right 

solution for you quickly.

•  If your first impression was right, please contact our 

Customer Service

•  If the knocking/rattling is obviously increased, a test drive 

is not necessary – please contact our Customer Service 

immediately.

•  The RaceChip App is connected to our server and can 

download settings specially for your car.

•  This means that our Customer Service can update your 

RaceChip’s settings to make the knocking/rattling disappear 

and help the engine run as smoothly as before.

description of the problem
