Cool site all, I'm impressed. Actually found it when searching for how to replace the knock sensor (chewed up by sun devil pack rat) on the wifes '02 S. Looks like I need to remove the SC?
Welcome, thanks for joining Motoring Alliance, the FUN and Friendly MINI Community. You should not have to remove the Supercharger to reach either of the knock sensors to replace.
That is good news Nathan...are there any postes on it? The top clip was obviously but cant tract the other end as the wire was chewed in 2. Maybe I can access from bottom/ Any directions is appreciated.
Knock/Ping Sensor Replacement Thanks guys. Truth be told I'm really struggling replacing the knock sensor (wiring harness). I am a beginner with Mini's but have mostly maintained and repaired our cars over the last 20 years. Engine light came on, code knock sensor, checked and wire was chewed in half by stupid pack rat. Bought the part on-line, clip on top easy enough but other end after pulling the front apart, piece by piece is under the intake manifold. Struggling pulling that off. Did not find a relative article on this anywhere. Any help/advice would be helpful. BTW 02 S, R53 I believe correct?
Nothing on just removing the intake and was trying to avoid the sc removal but may be a good idea to go all in as I'm this far. Thx.
