Hey people, quick question. Can someone tell me where the G61 knock sensor connector is located. I changed my thermostat yesterday and I think I might have sprayed water on the connector and I'm now getting a low signal fault being thrown.

I can see the sensor located underneath the inlet manifold near the timing belt end but the cable flows away underneath the manifold and I cannot see where the end connector is. Is it part of the main connector above the oil cooler? I need to use some contact cleaner to get rid of any water that might be there to resolve my fault.

Engine is 2.0TFSI BUL engine.

Thanks in advance for any help

OK, managed to sort it, the sensor is right behind the thermostat and was saturated with coolant when I replaced the thermostat. The connector is on the knock sensor itself, you would have to remove the thermostat again to get to it, but managed to seperate the connector enough to spray contact cleaner in it, clipped it back on and good to go. Anyway thought I would share the knowledge :biglaugh:
