Q45 (1994) - Knock Sensor Replacement: ECU Reset?

[IRVING GRANADOS]

Not for the knock sensors themselves, but there are plenty of things that will need replacing. Check out some of the "plenum" threads, or just order what you need after you pull it apart...

At a very minimum, I would replace the throttle body gasket, and the plenum to runner o-rings if they're brittle. You will also want to replace the cooling hoses that cross between the heads, since you'll have to remove them to get to the sensors.

thanks for your help i will do it in 2 to 3 weeks . i hear some says that there is a KS KIT?

also about the problem with my speed odometer , i also need to replace the Rack and Pinion , is there any sensor?

i read this info
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) sends a signal to the speedometer and from there to the Power Steering Control Unit. So if the VSS has gone bad, it would kill both the speedometer and power steering.

thanks ;-)

Hi heat one simple question
about to change the sensor soon, my question is to i have to replace also the lower Intake Manifold Gasket???
thanks ;-)

Im not doing the job , my friend is doing it for me :-)

[IRVING GRANADOS]

any quick help
do i have to replace the lower lower Intake Manifold Gasket , when I replace the ks ?

[Q451990]

Not if you don't remove the lower runners. I've been successful changing that hose in the middle without removing them. It's tight, but lubricating the hose helps a lot.

Good luck!
