A2 Document: Tapping Noises Below 1600 RPM (Solution)

Rattling or clattering noises in the lower RPM range (1600 RPM), especially when the engine is at operating temperature and at higher ambient temperatures above 20°C. This noise mainly occurs during driving with no load. In light acceleration/deceleration, particularly during cornering (e.g., highway exit or roundabout), the noise intensifies.

Cause:
Due to the conventional clutch used in these vehicles (without a dual-mass flywheel), rattling and clattering noises can occur in the lower RPM range, caused by torsional vibrations in the crankshaft within the powertrain.
