Hey!

The knock sensor on my 16v Coupester is connected at the plug.
However,it appears to have been disconnected

by someone in the past.I know some folk loosen them to pep up the pace a bit,without knowing the consequences!

Piccies would be really helpful if someone could?
I've had my head down the back of "the" head and torched from underneath.
Im assuming the bolts long gone too.So,in essence,Im looking for a hole.ahem

What are you looking for - for connector or place where to put bolt for missing knock sensor? 16v engines has two knock sensors and all 4 pot engine blocks has mounts for both, despite the fact that 8v uses only one. Find remaining one and another will be in similar place

Both mounts are between two pots - one between 1st and 2nd and one between 3rd and 4th on block side called passenger side in UK.

IIRC it's bolted on the inlet side of the engine block, just below the head. I think there are two knock sensors.
