zzzasy Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Haven't actually eyeballed it on the car yet; so I will ask the question first. According to the Haynes manual, you have to remove the intake manifold in order to remove the knock sensor. Is this true? and how much work is it to remove the manifold? zzzasy '98 obw 2.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferret Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 No need to remove intake. It's mounted with a single 12mm (maybe 13 or 14), just to the drivers side below the throttle body. Just be sure to torque it to 24Nm or 17 Ft/lbs. Over torqueing can damage the sensor. If Josh reads this, he has pictures in his posts which show the sensor. Maybe do a forum search on knock sensor.

zzzasy Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 Second question. How do you torque something with a wrench? zzzasy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzasy Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 Thanks, had just run across the pictures and was coming back to thank everyone for the help. I was under the impression that I needed a wrench to get to it, but I see that a spocket is what I need. Again, thanks for the advice and assistance. zzzasy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
