You should use a seperate sensor for the knocklink.

disconect that now. Using the OEM sensor screws up the signal to the ECU, which could cause MORE det.

Always use a seperate knock sensor.

Mr Smash,
Read this, it helped me loads. You need to bosch sensor and wiring kit from your local boschauto dealer.

Then you want to check this website on getting it fitted:

Good luck m8
