Any ideas where the knock sensor is on a VR? Is that the one which changes the timing if the engine starts pinking or knocking?

[scruffydubbers 0]

yep thats the one,

 

not sure where it is on a vr tho

There's two on a VR. One on the front and one on the back of the block. I couldn't tell you exactly, but there's no likely to be any other bits with wires coming from them at that point..

Follow the wire from the thinner of the two plugs on the rear engine mount to get the rear KS and at the front, follow the wire from the lower of the two plugs, also mounted on the front engine mount bracket.
