OK, spot on Mark (unfortunatly)

The cable to where it clips to the cover has got caught on aux belt tensioner and ripped it in half!!! 

Does this end go to the sensor or does it go to the wiring loom??

Your luck gets better and better don't it  :-/

bloody hell andy your having a mare with this car bud !! if you need a knock sensor i have a few mate 

[star_whites]

Well I can only blame myself on this one as I put her together and must have not checked it.

Just need to work out if its the section that goes to the sensor or if its the section that goes into the wiring loom. If it goes into the wiring loom then Im worried! 

[star_whites]

Thanks Mark will let you know. At the end of the day I like her, shes a comfortable ride and has plenty of poke and is just the right size for everything I do.

If you heard what my partents think about Omegas no one in the world would ever buy another

Come on then you experts.

Which end of the cable is it that Ive knackered. Is it the sensor end or is it the end to the wiring loom  :-? :-/

Look at the pic, which side of the plug did the cable break?

[star_whites]

Its broken around the aux belt tensioner and I think its the left hand side of the cable plug thats had it!!

If it's left hand side, thats the sensor side.

Prices for new sensor as follows:

Main stealer
Up to engine number 08137540 - £42.90

Trade Club

From engine number 08137541 - £56.57

All prices are plus VAT


I'd personally just repair the cable, theres nothing special about screened cable at all.

[star_whites]

Well atleast there is some good news from it.

I was suprised when it did not make the car go into safe mode. Is this usual or am I likely to find that this happens when I get in the car in the morning  :-/

That will be the sensor part of the lead, the main loom section only appears outside the cable tray for aroun 50-75mm.

They can be soldered together successfuly (2 wires and a screen)

[star_whites]

When you say a screen will shrink wrap and elec tape do as a temporay repair??

What is a knock sensor as they get mentioned quite a bit on here.

Ignore that, the link says it all. I wouldn't have guessed it as a microphone though.

Got to admire your patience, I would have valeted it with petrol by now best of luck
