This might seem like a stupid question ,but i dont know what a knocklink is? :dunno: ...iv just seen them in Impreza's :ponder:
what is it for? :ponder:
 
Not 100% sure but i think they tell you how much detonation is happening in the engine so you can run safely. The more detonation, the more lights! I think! :thumbsup:
 
While we're on the subject - I don't know what a tracker mortgage is :D

Yeah basically knocklink picks up knock (detonation) in your engine & warns you by sequence of lights.

:lol:
 
I presume its just an advancement on the piezo-electric knock sensors that exist in most cars nowadays? ( would ya look at me rememberin my fás phase 6 lol)
 
On the boxer engine, do you need to get 2 sensors, one for each head? :ponder:

Or do you need one for each cylinder?

Or is it just one overall and then where would you put it? :dunno:

Cheers
