Bosch Ignition Knock (Detonation) Sensor P/N:0261231197
Bosch 0261231038 right ignition knock (detonation) sensor for the 1990-1993 Volkswagen Passat 4-cylinder 2.0L and other vehicles detects engine knock so the control unit can adjust ignition timing. It has durable construction for harsh conditions and is designed to original equipment specifications.
A failing knock sensor can show up as pinging under load, a lit check engine light or reduced power. Spark plug or wiring trouble can also set a knock code, so the sensor is not the only suspect. This listing is one right-side sensor, and the other side is ordered separately. The 1990-1993 Volkswagen Passat 4-cylinder 2.0L takes two sensors in total.
The fit includes the 1985-1992 Volkswagen Jetta 4-cylinder 1.8L and the 1985-1992 Volkswagen Golf 4-cylinder 1.8L, along with many other Audi and Volkswagen models. Open the "Vehicles it fits" section to check your exact model and engine.
