This description of replacing a knock sensor provides no detail or explanations. It is too vague. Having replaced a knock sensor on the X type, I would not rely on this post. There are much better posts on the internet with photos and details
ReplyDeleteI just tried doing just that and spent hours looking through all the videos after doing a search for x-type shock sensor replacement and didn't find one I found everything else trouble is utube uses every word in the search so all kinds of Jaguars show up and all kinds of repairs but NO X-Type shock sensor repair
DeleteHello what were your symptoms of your failing Knock Sensor thank you. .
ReplyDeleteI saw another post to replace the shock sensor on a X-Type complete with description pictures trouble is I cannot find it now I sure would like to find it again, also how do you get the vacuum lines unclipped I have tried pressing down on the part closest to the manifold with a probe looks like a solid ring, but it dont move is there a special tool?
