Knock Level Increase...hmmm

[NickR33]

I sometimes get a spike when I first start the car... can be a bit scary when you don't realise its happened and have just nailed it and look down to see a 60 or so knock level... so now I leave the H/C on peak value and have a quick glance when I start it up, if it registers knock I reset all values and away you go...

I don't think its anything to worry about... I've had lots of random high knock levels over the years and never damaged piston rings... run a few bearings though hehe

hope its nothing serious, my knock level is also ranging from 10 (idle) to over 60 at times at WOT, had the dyno + road tuned and conclusion was non-engine noise being picked up although I will be getting 2nd opinion

my clutch also upon engagment is noisy and i get spikes when moving car from stationary

What did your tuner report as the cause of the high knock? Yeah the clutch can cause a lot of noise

I know what u mean about high knock caused by the starter motor, it must be the starter pinion engaging with the flywheel, mine has shown 120+ on start up so I religiously reset my peak values after start up.

I know when mine has hit high knock in 3rd gear and literally only flickers the engine light on the dash, like a quick spike. If it stayed on continuously I'd be freaking out
