Post by: omega3000 on 25 March 2012, 13:44:42
Done a bit of work yesterday replacing the stat and bridge seals but i have code : 1 - 7 which is knock signal circuit 2.

plug is down near dipstick. Sensor itself behind engine mount.  Suspect, though, you've forgotten to plug back in.

Plug is connected if im looking at the right one , only one near the dipstick but the connector is free and flopping about ..should it be secured to something ie a post or plate ?

The wire is slightly worn through as it dropped down and was rubbing on the aux belt , think ill be able to get to it if i take the battery off and top hose . Can it be repaired ie cut and spliced together  :-\

Yes. Try to maintain the coax structure

Will have a go , dont fancy tracing the wire back to replace . Looks like it goes through the timing belt cover .

Maybe im looking at the wrong wire .
Where would the position be of the actual sensor for signal circuit 2 ...not the connection .

Is it ok to run the car or not while the light stays on ?

just slowly check through everything mate its so easy to rush and skip something(we've all done that) :y its also easy to cross plugs on ks and cam sensor-done that too (crossed air temp and solenoid on front ram pipes) :y

Will do , the car runs fine though and only just came on after a run so would make sense that it would be the wire thats worn possibly wearing out on the aux belt causing the fault code . Hopefully i can repair that and job done  :y

Knock sensor behind the engine mount. Wire comes up around dipstick, and plugs in cabletray in front of oil filler.
