Factory Knock Sensor

Anyone know where it is and/or have a picture of it? And what Bosch sensor replaces it?

I cant find a picture of one, but it is located between #3 and #4 cylinder under your intake manifold. It looks like a oil pressure sending unit for the old style gages. Hope this helps.

Are you adding another one, or is your factory one bad? If you are adding one for datalogging or the KnockLink it uses a different type of sensor. The factory sensor is a flat response type, the Bosch sensor used for the KnockLink is a resonance type. Let me know why you are doing this. I added another knock sensor for datalogging and I just put it on the head and ran 2 wires. Cost was $75 for the sensor and harness. Just let me know.

i'm adding the knock light. i was going to just use the oem one and turn down the sensitivity on the light really low. i did go outside and check and i can see the factory one. looks really hard to get to. how did you add a new one to the head?

The easiest way to get to it is from underneath (NOT with jacks). You can access most of the engines backside from there.

I think the knocklink uses the factory sensor and turboXS requires a Bosch
