Hm, on my Y8 it was right below cylinder 2 on the intake manifold. Big socket required to remove it, about a 27mm or so. Cylinder 2 as in looking from driver's seat, that is. Second farthest from belts.

Best of luck. Should be same on Y5 I'd guess. (Different on Y7 of course, since they lack a knock sensor. :-))

true! i found it however it is a big "plug" in the motor therefore the sensor isnt there. since the threads to plug are diff size than the sensor i have to fins some sort of adapter, its more or less a pain the butt
anyone know where i can get that from
