Would be worth searching the board a bit as this question has come up a few times recently.
It's a bit fiddly due to the location but it's something you can easily do yourself - just one bolt and a plug, plus, in an ideal world, taking the intercooler off so you can gain easier access. Important thing to get right is the tightening torque after you've installed the new one. Overtightening the bolt can crack the plastic body on the new sensor and lead to its early demise.
As above, clicking search and typing "knock sensor" into the box will tell you everything you need to know.
