Hi,

Had the CEL come on a while ago, had it diagnosed as knock sensor. Have now got replacement but cant find it on engine, is it a big job or can it be done easily? i have a classic MY00.

Thanks for the advice in advance

 

Pretty much under the intercooler on the passenger side. Easy to spot once the cooler's off and simple to change it.

thanks for your help, very grateful

 

I found my local dealer to be the cheapest place to get the sensor from, £56+Vat, I had been quoted £120 from a specialist.

I found getting the sensor out was easy but putting the new one back in was a complete nightmare, the sensor isn't flat and sits at about 30degree angle, Getting the bolt down through the sensor and into the hole was a nightmere. Used some tape to stick the bolt into an socket on two extention bars.

It didn't help though that I changed mine with a hot engine and on a motorway slip road!!!!!!
