The green and black test wires you need are under the drivers dash, not in the passenger footwell. Read here (ya wee lassie)

So the next question is, is it a faulty 'knock sensor' or is it detecting 'knock???

As far as i can understand it is the sensor at fault, from what i have read there is no ECU code for 'actual knock', hence the use of det cans i suppose

Plenty on ebay, but what the quality is like i have no idea. All the lambda's i had off there where $h1t

Perhaps someone can advise

thanx mate
