    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

    I 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?
