Evening all I have a new knock sensor on order as my Subaru code is reading that my knock sensor is faulty. I'm just wondering is it an easy fix that I can do (very limited mechanical knowledge) but willing to have a go if so where is the sensor located or do I need to take it to a garage for it to be done? Thanks in advance.

 

Can anyone help me please with pics on where the knock sensor is located on my classic scooby and how easy it is to replace as my new sensor has arrived and I want to replace it ASAP. Thanks in advance.

 

quite an easy fix changing the knock sensor.can take off your intercooler for easier access especially if you`ve got big hands lol,heres a link to have a look on the location of it https://www.scoobynet.com/general-te...za-94-sti.html

 

Thanks for the reply, but excuse my stupidity in the post it says that the sensor must be tightened to 24nm. Firstly what is nm and how the frig do you measure it????

 

you need a torque wrench m8

 

Nm = Newton metres ..........as Ducko says you need a torque wrench to tighten it up Halfords do some quite nice tools (don't laugh) if you have one nearby and can't be bothered to search around.
