Signs of a Failing Knock Sensor in an Audi

The knock sensor present in AUDIu2019s engine is in charge of detecting early detonation and unwanted pre-ignition. Both pre-ignition and detonation happen due to abnormal combustion- can damage the engine permanently, if not fixed timely. A knock sensor in good shape can prevent engine knocking. But a faulty knock sensor canu2019t send the correct voltage to the PCM, and thereby causing irreplaceable engine damage. You will experience different drawbacks, once it becomes bad. Better you consult an AUDI technician and replace the knock sensor timely to prevent the engine performance from going low.

  1. SIGNS OF A FAILING KNOCK SENSOR IN AN AUDI

  2. Audi is one of the most popular German luxury car manufacturers.

  3. It is well known for its elegant and comfortable interior and easily operable high-tech features.

  4. The onboard computer of an Audi monitors the function of different components of the vehicle with the help of different types of sensors.

  5. It uses these data to regulate the combustion process within the engine.

  6. Knock sensor plays a crucial role by monitoring the vibration within the engine.

  7. If it measures any kinds of abnormal vibration, then the main computer would take steps to stabilize the performance of the engine.

  8. A FAILING KNOCK SENSOR IN AN AUDI

  9. THUMPING SOUND Timing of ignition is a critical parameter in the combustion cycle.

  10. If the timing of ignition deviates, then it could generate vibration in the engine of an Audi.

  11. The knock sensor is supposed to detect the issue immediately. However, a faulty knock sensor could not do so.

  12. As a result of which the situation worsens and the sound would get progressively louder.

  13. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES When the main computer detects faults in the knock sensor, it will turn on the check engine light.

  14. The appearance of check engine light in an Audi should never be neglected.

  15. So, illumination of check engine light along with the generation of thumping sound from the engine should not be neglected.

  16. POWER OUTPUT DECLINES A sudden reduction in the power output of an Audi shows that the knock sensor might have certain errors.

  17. At the same time, a faulty knock sensor is also responsible for higher fuel consumption.

  18. FINALLY

  19. An Audi owner should never ever neglect the warning signs of a failing knock sensor in the engine.

  20. Reasons for the generation of vibration should be identified and repaired immediately.
