This doesnt look like an OEM knock sensor. Has anyone tried one of these??

It's not. It's from a third party. Looks like you've already bid, though.

 

Yep.. made a bid before i realised it wasnt an OEM. Mostly good positive feedback on the seller so all good I guess???

If it isn't too late, you could always just retract your bid and purchase an OEM ks.

 

cant retract a bid unless you have a legitimate reason. I'm pretty sure "woops i bid on the wrong thing" isn't covered.. worth a shot though

 

I just installed one of these. So far so good. Next time I get a problem I am bypassing the deamn thing with a (470k ?) resistor. I will rather risk knocking than retarding..

 

haha truculent. I'm replacing my knock sensor - not because its coming up with a code, but because my car pings on hot days over 98 degrees and it doesnt seem to do anything about it. Sounds like your ideal knock sensor??

 

I got an OEM Nissan KS off ebay from Japan, works fine..

 

how much was it from Japan??

 

good find

 

Got mine on ebay couldnt tell them apart .

 

65 dollars from euro parts canada, also free delivery on orders more than 75

i got one and installed it earlier this summer, made in japan stuff

 

I love how i havnt been on this site in 2 months and even when i come back the same questions are being asked....ebay knock sensors are fine. Someone needs to sticky that!

 

My question wasnt like that at all. I notice there are two types of knock sensors on ebay. OEM ones and replica ones. I was simply asking if the replica ones were ok.

 

yeah i know, it's been asked before many times too. Wasn't trying to be a ****. Just thought I would make the comment.

 

no worries dude, im quite proficient with asking stupid questions. Comes with the n00b territory.

I'd be more keen to get an OEM - I won the auction and offered to pay the guy his ebay fees to get it relisted. I don't really want anything but the genuine article - it's a pet thing...

My stupid fault for bidding on it in the first place :P

 

man back when my car had a knock sensor code and i went to replace it ebay was selling them for $90 shipped.

 

and here i have'nt replaced mine ever!!!!!

 

Sorry for the newb question, but once you replace the knock sensor how long are they good for? i'm doing mine next week at 148k miles. should i be good for another 50k miles?

 

More than that. You shouldn't replace it again.

 

my car had done 180,000km's (whatever that is in miles) - it's a fairly long life without its KS being replaced
