Transporter '96 "Knock Sensor Error" VAG-COM reading??

[Hearse]

Hey guys,

just pulled this from my Car, it sounds like its "missing" under load, but get it going and its awesome.

pulled the data and got this:

Address 01: Engine Labels: 023-906-024.lbl
Part No: 023 906 024 R
Component: DIGIFANT 1.72 1887
VCID: 1C390230A62D

1 Fault Found:
00540 - Knock Sensor 2 (G66)
03-00 - No Signal
Readiness: N/A

would this cause such an issue?

hope this works!

"No Signal" pretty much means that. To do another test, unplug the knock sensor from the wiring harness, clear codes & themn read them again. Let us know if it comes up "open circuit" or not.

awesome, will do.

thanks for that mate.

now a rookie question, where is the knock sensor :-S

i know there is 2....does the output indicate which one is actually faulty...??

if you can tell me where it is, ill do the unplug/retest tomorrow

QUESTION: my car runs really badly under load, pulling away / up a hill....sounds like its missing. would this be due to the knock sensor?

thanks again,

No problem warren.

They are normally attached to the front of the block by a single large bolt. will be tucked down well near the radiator. I'm pretty sure bank 1 is closest to the flywheel, so sensor 2 is "probably" furthest from flywheel. but once you find them, you will be able to tell by unplugging them one at a time & checking the fault codes.

awesome!

ill have a look tonight!

would the knock sensor be causing the trouble with pulling away/under load where it sounds like its "missing"?

[Aussie Volks Guy]

It surely could. Especially with that fault code, its a great place to start trouble shooting.

[Hearse]

It's fixed!!

Dude you are an absolute legend.

Found the two knock sensors, unplugged it, cleaned the terminals up and plugged it back in. Cleared the error codes.

Went for a drive, drove beautifully again!!! Was so good. Re-ran the scan, no codes!

Thanks a heap for your help again mate, really really appreciate it.

No problems, I'm glad it was an easy (not expensive!) issue
