Anybody seen a knock sensor leak like this:
 It's like the back melted off and drip down on the block. The sensor worked when the engine was running but I thought I'd ask. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

QUOTE (wortdog @ Mar 12 2006, 08:26 PM) As the sensor ages and the fluid leaks out, it becomes more and more sensitive to both phantom knock and real knock. That could explain some of the knock issues I had last year. Or it was the crank cracking!  Hult250R I take it you haven't had any issues with a non-OEM sensor. I thought OEM knock sensors were recommended. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???
