Knock sensor, checking: Notes

NOTE:
  • It is extremely important to keep to the tightening torque of 20 Nm to ensure the knock sensors perform perfectly.
  • Knock sensors (KS) 1 -G61- and knock sensors (KS) 2 -G66- have a direct 2 -pin connector and consequently no contact for the shielding in the connector.
  • Only gold-plated contacts may be used when servicing the knock sensor connector contacts.
  • Contact surfaces between knock sensor and cylinder block must be free of corrosion, dirt and grease.
