I may be posting this twice, not sure if IE just gave up on me or not.

I have a 99 Q45t with 77k miles on it. The computer has flagged that the Knock Sensor is broken and the dealer wants $1800 to fix it. It looks like its a $150 part, is the labor really that intensive? Thanks for the help.

After a day of swearing and throwing tools, I did mine. Get the harness as well. If you have any DIY knowledge, you're good.

It looks like to do this I'll need the 2 knock sensors and a wire harness. I've found the knock sensors on a OEM site, but I can't find the wire harness. Does anyone know the part number?

I'm also thinking I should get the service manual to help me along. Whats the best place for that?

Thanks for the help!
