Possible Causes

Loose wall mounting screws or anchors, Internal components not firmly secured, Cable strain pulling on housing, Resonance between housing and wall surface

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before tightening any mounting hardware or opening the unit.

  • Check wall mounting: Ensure all mounting screws are tight and that appropriate anchors are used for the wall material. Tighten as needed.
  • Inspect internal components: With power off, verify that the contactor, terminal blocks, and PCBs are firmly screwed down and not touching the housing.
  • Secure cables: Use cable ties or clamps to prevent heavy cables from pulling on the housing or vibrating against it.
  • Add damping if needed: In some cases, adding rubber washers between the charger and wall (if allowed by Audi) can reduce resonance.

Persistent rattling may indicate a failing contactor; inspect and replace if necessary.
