Knocklink - no red light
thats good you may be thinking, however.....
Bought a knocklink 2 weeks ago from BRD in the group buy, fitted it more or less straight away and after fitting the ic back on i realised forgot to carry out a test, ie knocking on the bolt or on the block next to the sensor.
Today, im fitting a new heat shield and VTA BOV so while the ic is off i thought i'd check the knocklink - all lights lit up except red !!
Now ive been driving it recently and occasionally i get both ambers (sti5 unmapped - so kinda expected), what worries me is, is my knocklink a duff one and if it is have i probably been getting red lights where its not been showing.
if its a duff one, a. should i get BRD to change it for a new one and b. how do i test the red led and if its knacked can i change the led

Have you thought that it could be the vta dv thats causing you problems here and is leaning the mixure out but not enough to show a red light but enough to cause damage? (the reason vta's are not recommended for use on imprezas btw).
