Anyone replace a M50 knock sensor?
My peake tool indicated a code 45 for a problem related to the knock sensor for cylinders 4-6 on my 95 525i M50tu.
I wonder what the impact would be? For example does it go into a retard condition? Car seems to run fine. I use 93 octane with my EAT chip.
My Bentley says thay can be replaced without removing the intake maniford. A quick search of the archives did not reveal much "what/why or how" except I might have to remove the intake mainford. TIA
Thanks,
