define knock sensor
KNOCK SENSOR. The knock sensor detects engine vibrations that indicate detonation is occurring so the computer can momentarily retard timing. Some engines have two knock sensors. < hehe

they're mounted in-between the cylinders on the block, can’t remember if they’re on the front or back of the block on the TFSI but you get the idea….

A picture would be better for me so I know where they are but then again I am in work so I can't have a proper nose in the engine bay to find it. I know there is a green one (1-2) and a brown one (3-4) its the green one I need to look at - I'll take alook later today, cheers Carl
