Does the Bosch knock sensor PArt number 0-261-231-006 fit the Oem plug ?? & does it fit in the original location ??
If so where is the best place to buy one from as i have done a search & failed

Thanks

Dean,

I've just this very minute collected a knock sensor for my MY99. The actual sensor itself looks identical, but the Subaru part comes with it's own mini wiring loom.

Rather than worry about the loom being faulty, I just bought the whole replacement part from Subaru. £55 though

I can take some pics later of the Subaru one if it'll help compare it to the Bosh part.

Thanks Stefan,
Speedy reply there. Heres a link to the Bosch one. http://www.car-stuff.com/subaruknocksensor.htm
May i ask, ?? Why are you purchasing a new Knock sensor ??
Thanks
Dean

 

Hi Stefan,
Just rang my local Robaru garage & they want £97.92 + Vat for the sensor & Loom. Where did you purchase yours from ??

Thanks

Dean

 

Hi Dean,

I'm getting a ECU error 22 (CEL light keeps throwing) and the car hesitates very badly when the light is on. It's intermittent though with it coming on and going off pretty randomly.

Got mine from Ian Grieve (new Subaru Dealer in Falkirk, Scotland), but the list price is £54.28+VAT and should be the same at every other Dealer in the UK. They gave me a decent discount, so I paid £54.22 inc.VAT today.

Part number is 22060AA070 (sen assy-knock) according to the packet.

Some pics.





The sensor looks identical to the Bosch one I ran with my knocklink, but I can't get the connector off to see properly and I don't want to break it trying !!!

 

Hi Stefan,
Have you looked at your Oem one that is currently fitted to your Car ?? Mine looks like it is hard wired at the sensor end, but the connector on the end off the wire loom looks identical. & you are right, your new sensor does look exactly like the Bosch one.
Do you have the Dealers phone number
Thanks
Dean

 

Yeah, I had a look at it last week. From what I remember it looks pretty much the same as the new one although it was buried under pipework so I couldn't get a decent look.

Dealer's number is 01324 605100. I waited nearly 3 weeks, so you may want to try AF Noble in Penicuk (outside Edinburgh) as they've been better at getting parts for me in the past. Their number is 01968 678002.

Thanks for that Stefan. I was up in Edinburgh for the weekend !!!!!
When you remove your Knackered one, Would you take a Pic & post or Pm me Etc. Just Curious to see if yours is also Hard wired at the Sensor end.
Dean

 

Sure thing. It may be a day or so before I get the motivation to work on the car - it's chukin it down and the forecast doesn't look promising

 

Dean,

Swapped the faulty one over today. It looks identical to the replacement.
