Bosch Ignition Knock (Detonation) Sensor P/N:0261231226
Bosch 0261231072 ignition knock (detonation) sensor for the 1992-1995 BMW 318i 4-cylinder 1.8L and other vehicles monitors engine vibration to detect knock. It signals the control unit to adjust ignition timing as needed, which helps protect engine components.
A failing knock sensor can show up as a check engine light, pinging under load or reduced power, though the spark plugs or the wiring to the sensor can be behind the same signs, so find the cause before replacing it. This listing is one sensor; the 1992-1995 BMW 318i 4-cylinder 1.8L takes two.
This sensor fits the 1992-1995 BMW 318i 4-cylinder 1.8L, the 1992-1995 BMW 318is 4-cylinder 1.8L and the 1995 BMW 318ti 4-cylinder 1.8L.
