Knock
Hi all,
Ive noticed some knock showing on my apexi ecu commander. Its not enough to bring on my cel light with is set up through the ecu to detect knock but it does show a decent 1/4 to 1/3 bar on my commander when im accelerating.
What can cause knock. I.e what can i check to try and find the source?.
Then only thing that has been done recently was an induction scoop fitted which i think had been takin in abit of water that was blowing in from the bonnet after it had rained and when it was raining so it has been removed.
Could this have caused a fault somewhere and thats why im showing KNOCK. Or is it just a simple case of something rattleing in side my engine bay like turbo heat shield or intercooler pipes etc.
Also the car still runs fine from low boost setting to full boost and doesnt seem to be and differant? Not that noticable anyway but hard to tell as i need a new clutch and it slips when run on full boost.
Any info would be very appreciated

check the peak numbers as Scott says. The bar that goes up does look a lot but checking the numbers will probably show in the 20's or less. Depending on the year of car, the earlier ones are noisier anyway so I have been told

wouldnt worry about 10, you will sometimes get higher than that when you first start the car!! If you are unsure, speak with your mapper I am sure they will put your mind at rest

Hi
Just a quick update was out in the car having abit of fun on low boost as my clutch needs replacing soon and noticed a 49 showing on my peak knock and nearly sh*t.
I have a fmic etc fitted and i know that it rattles abit would that be knock or is knock something internal.
If someone can explain what knock is excatly i can hopefully understand things abit better and maybe not panic as much.
Cheers all.

best bet is to speak with your mapper. They will know what your engine was like and anything else. 58 is quite high, you can knock some degrees of the ignition and see if you still get the same problem
