Saxo Vtr Pinking When Hot Under Load Low Rpm

[davey205 7 1 Cars]

Was going to replace the knock sensor... how easy are they to get to?

Is it just a case of unplug then bolt off bolt on?

Probably easiest from underneath, front if block, 13mm spanner and a. Plug, dead easy

...could have been the back of the block actually.. Either way it's easiest from underneath

not a lot, only a m8 bolt.

Set your wrench to "nip"

Got it but for a Vts......20NM (or 14.75 ft/lbs) does this sound right for Vtr engine too?

[calvinhorse 870]

I'm 99% sure it will be the same part so yes

 

I estimated 15nm so 20 sounds good

Poo perhaps slightly better just seems to do it up hills now - i wasn't sure whether to use a washer on it as the old one didn't have 1 maybe I'll take the washer off and try it a bit tighter went for only 15-16 nm with a washer that came with the new 1, perhaps its just carbon build up I know my last Saxo which was a minter used to do it unless regular de coking with BG44k and or premium unleaded must just be a Saxo thing unless I'm overlooking something :-s
