Anyone have any good experience or luck with the cheapy knock sensors from ebay? Secondly where is the location of the knock sensor on the vg?

 

If you're gonna go that route you might as well go to Autozone and get one. I either get mine from Rockauto or from Napa.

 

Anyone??

Thanks Chrome. Looks like a pita! Do you know of anyone thats used an ebay knock sensor? If it's that much of a pita maybe i should just get the oem from the stealership though they charge an arm and a leg lol.

 

yeah many vehicles i think you have to remove the upper intake but that guy got it from underneath, i know VG30E Pathfinder the intake has to be removed

depends on the price difference but i would kinda go OEM since it sucks to replace again

 

The ks is between rear mount and the power steer pump. The connection is right by the ps pulley. It's a tight spot so I would definitely go OEM. I've found on some aftermarket vs OEM part, the difference in price is not worth the effort and headache in going with the former. I found that out the hard way with my rear crankshaft pulley seal. After three aftermarket seals, I install OEM and no more leaks.

 

Thanks. I happened to notice ebay had one for 6 bucks which is alot cheaper than oem but your probably right about just going with oem though there doesnt appear to be much to the sensor.

 

knock sensors are basic but its like a headgasket, rear main seal, etc. small simple part, but such a pain to replace you dont want to joo out with a cheap one
