Hi,

I've just got myself a Knocklink monitor from Jap Innovation (thanks guys), but the wiring loom running from the Knock display down to the Bosch knock sensor has no connector.

I sourced the Bosch sensor seperately and this has a 2-pin male connector.

For those that bought the display and sensor as a package, did you receive all the necessary connectors?????

Any ideas where I can source the connector for the Bosch sensor ????

Bosch P/N: 1 287 013 003 - Jetronic Connector Kit.

List price is about £8, should be able to order one from any auto electrical outlet.

I know Teesside AutoTech will post most Bosch parts and off a flat 10% discount. (info@teesideautotech).

Thanks Andrew, you're a star m8

Just like to say thanks to Andrew for his recommendation and inforamtion and Eddie @ Teeside AutoTech for supplying the connector kit for my Knocklink sensor.

I paid £7.50+VAT + £1.50 delivery and they even had them in stock

Cheers,

I also got a Knocklink and Bosch sensor today from Jap I , all the connectors are there but I cant work out which terminal on the sensor is supposed to be earth. Neither terminal shows continuity with the sensor body, anyone else had this or have I got a duff sensor??

ozzy

Yeah, I'm none the wiser either as I can't get my multimeter to beep at all regardless which terminal I connect too and where on the bosch sensor I make the other contact (metal bits, of course).

Stefan

ozzy

Out of interest, how much did you pay all-in for the Knocklink & the senor?

Stefan

ringpuke

knocklink was 63+vat
sensor was 65+vat

so I wonder which is earth then, guess its only 50/50 can always swap the connector pins over if it doesnt work

ozzy

Apparently, it doesn't matter which way they go around as neither of the terminals are earthed to the outside of the sensor.

Apparently, the bolt you need to fit the new sensor is an M8x30mm.

Thanks pal!

ozzy

So do none of the knocklinks come with a connector? I was under the impression it was included with the loom... seems a bit silly cos it would be nigh on impossible to connect otherwise

ozzy

Hi Paul,

AFAIK, if you order the Knocklink + the sensor as a package, you get the connector. Or if you buy the sensor from one of the main Knocklink suppliers, you get the connector too. I don't think you get it with the loom coz you could connect the knocklink to lots of different sensors, so they leave it up to you to get the right one.

I bought my Knocklink from Jap Innovations for £74 inc. VAT and the Bosch sensor was sourced for £30 from a standard auto electrical store.

The connector is only a tenner, so why folk charge £65+ for the sensor and connector is beyond me well other than too make £25 out of it

Shame I didn't see this sooner, could have got you 1 for about half that price as I work for part of Bosch.....

ozzy

Grant,

The Knocklink comes in a sealed bag from Link Systems in Oz. So, if you just buy the knocklink, then yes you'll not get the connector.

I think suppliers will sell you the connector along with the sensor.

The connector I've spoken of is for the optional Bosch sensor and not the OEM one - I've no idea what connector is on that.

Stefan

Paul_M

Scratch can you get me a cheap Bosch sensor connector? Already have the sensor which I've fitted to the block and I'm going to add the knocklink soon.

Cheers.

ozzy

Well this is what I got for my £10
