VR6Bella 0 Posted July 7, 2006 Need to replace the knock sensor on a 1991 VR6 - have been told it is one of two - brown or white - but VW cannot tell me which one it is I need - any ideas form any one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 7, 2006 Need to plug it into VAG-COM and it will tell you which one is knackered, front or rear. They're not the easiest of things to see and get too either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big_chris1981 0 Posted July 7, 2006 on a similar thread....does anyone know which one is which? vagcom was coming up with an intermittent fault on number 2 sensor...is that front or back? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 7, 2006 Unplug the front one (connection on the front engine mount) and rescan with VAG-COM and it'll say "No signal" on the disconnected one, then you can work out if it's 1 or 2 ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Bella 0 Posted July 7, 2006 Ah VW didn't tell me there was more than one! Do you know if the rear one white or is that the front one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 7, 2006 I don't know mate, I've never looked at them! Roger Blassberg will know as he had to replace both of them not so long ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Bella 0 Posted July 13, 2006 KevHeyWire - will do - Cheers! Does any one else know the torque settings for these or any handy hints / techniques for removal / replacement? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 13, 2006 They are very delicate, very low torque setting, 11lb/ft rings a bell..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
