Hi Guys,
I have a 2018 1.2 petrol showing an engine fault. Had it scanned and its showing the knock sensor needs replacing. Im always keen to try things myself so im confident i can do it but cant seem to find the bugger.
Does anyone know where it is exactly? Dont want to start dismantling things where i dont need to.
Thanks
Knock sensor
You'll need to remove the starter to stand a hope in hell of getting to it,plus when replacing it needs fitting in the correct position and tightened to 20nm,
but there isn't a fault code that actually states that the sensor needs replacing,it could just as easily be a wiring fault or even the sensor not being correctly fixed

out of my patience zone there! It showed an error so thought id just replace it. They are cheap enough to make it worth while. Thank you for your help
