Pinking - which knock sensor to get?
« on: 20 March 2012, 19:22 »
Adjusted my timing today following rj's guide on here and now my cars pinking under load, the timing was a bit out. Would it be a knock sensor problem even though it was ok before?

Think I found the problem, the knock sensor has broken and fallen off :(
Where's best to get a replacement?
just found some on vw heritage, theres a blue plug or a green plug, but mines got a white plug?

Well, I phoned vw heritage yesterday to confirm the correct sensor and got it ordered.
Just fitted it after work so I'll test it tomorrow.
 I've also replaced the water flange on the front of the head as it seemed to be leaking. Gear linkage repair kit to do tomorrow morning if I have time before work
