Where is the Knock sensor?
Seems from the post I've read these two sensors should be replaced on any older car.I know what they look like I just can't find them. My car is a 1989 S4 auto. Also where is the Temp II sensors? Is that on the intake right in the front?Thanks for any help.

The 2 knock sensors are bolted in the 'V' of the block under the intake. You have to remove the intake to replace them.
Temp II sensor is the unit on top of the waterbridge in front of the intake.

OK ..."Down in the valley, valley so low
Hang your head over, hear the train blow ..." as noted buried under the intake with lots of other parts to refresh.

Temp sensor II is on the water bridge in front of the intake manifold. The switch on top of the manifold is for post-run fan operation to limit intake temps during hot-soak conditions.

No Sarcasim here, 30 year plus in the hobby.
Just sold my 2005 Maserati coupe, Been to hell and back with that car. Would pop the hood look around then close the hood since nothing there made and sense. Call the dealer to ask "What could that XXXX be" "Not sure take it in, Next opening in two weeks And by the way I wouldn't drive it since you don't want to get stuck" Two weeks later I get the car in, Next day " Bad ground thats why the temp light came on. Two and a half weeks of prime summer time driving wasted. I got three more stories just like this. How nice to not only have a car I can work on but a website with so many smart people to learn from.

a) the VD0 part number
or
b) the specs for testing it's goodness?
"B" is what I'm after, but with A, B might fall to the mighty google.

Hi Dave
Look at the doc "diagnosis of the instrument cluster" Technik Info '89, WKD 495 821 page 9.
That gives the resistance values at various temps.

Yeah, that was sarcasm, BUT you have friends here that can and will help and sharks are special, not that a Maserati isn't.
