Firstly, I want to apologise for 3 things.....

1) for being a mechanical noob
2) for not using the search command (but its currently reporting its down)
3) The CRAP quality of the attached photos, but I blame that one a crappy £40 digital camera

Ok - I have a MY99 Turbo 5 door. UK car.

I need to find the knock sensor. Am I looking in the right place?

Firstly, a quick photo of my engine bay.

Yes - again, blurry, but its a crap camera and its cold this morning.

I've labelled the above pic to reflect the angles of the below piccies.

1a and 1b are taken at slightly different angles. Is the yellow highlighted but the knock sensor? or am i COMPLETELY looking in the wrong place?


and the final one is at the back of the inlet manifold (tell me again if I'm wrong - lol) down to the left of the intercooler.


Anyone care to edit my piccies and show me where I should be looking and what I should be looking for?

Many Many Many thanks for putting up with a Scooby-Noob

The one below the alternator is the oil preassure switch...I'm not sure on the other one...

Yeah- I appreciate that one.

What about this crap photo then? Taken through a tiny gap directly underneath the Intercooler, at the back of the engine block? I've made a vain attempt to highlight the small black plug in yellow.

.... it is acutally a little bit closer to the washer bottle than that arrow - need to guddle under the hoses.

See http://www.mrtrally.com.au/performance/docs/WRX-V5.pdf page 36/7
