Delphi AS10169 outer ignition knock (detonation) sensor for the 2011-2015 Volkswagen Jetta 4-cylinder 2.0L, the 2013-2021 Jetta 4-cylinder 1.4L and other vehicles detects engine knock and sends a signal about it.
- Helps maximize engine performance with all fuels
- Helps protect the engine from damage caused by pre-ignition knocking
- Calibrated for a wide variety of frequencies to detect shifts and give accurate signals
- Sealed to withstand humidity, salt spray and automotive fluids
- Ground-isolated design with a 2-wire shielded harness to help protect the signal from electromagnetic interference (EMI)
- Self-generating piezoelectric design that needs no power to the sensor
Quick facts
- Part: Delphi AS10169 ignition knock (detonation) sensor
- Fits: the 2011-2015 Volkswagen Jetta 4-cylinder 2.0L, the 2013-2021 Jetta 4-cylinder 1.4L and other vehicles
- Position: Outer
- Condition: New
A failing knock sensor can show up as a check engine light, a drop in power or engine knock. Before you replace it, rule out a damaged wiring harness or connector and other causes of those signs, because none of them point to the sensor alone.
Fits
This listing is one sensor. The fitment also includes the 2012-2018 Volkswagen Passat V6 3.6L and the 2000-2006 Volkswagen Golf 4-cylinder 1.8L or 2.0L and the 2002-2005 Golf V6 2.8L. The Jetta engines above and the 2012-2018 Passat V6 3.6L take one sensor, the 2000-2006 Golf 4-cylinder 1.8L or 2.0L takes two and the 2002-2005 Golf V6 2.8L takes one. Many other Volkswagen and Audi models are covered too, so open the "Vehicles it fits" section to check your exact model and engine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Delphi AS10169 knock sensor fit the 2011-2015 Volkswagen Jetta 4-cylinder 2.0L?
Yes. Delphi AS10169 is an outer knock sensor for the 2011-2015 Volkswagen Jetta 4-cylinder 2.0L, and that engine takes one sensor.
Is the Delphi AS10169 knock sensor sold as a single sensor?
Yes. This listing is one ignition knock (detonation) sensor. The number a car takes varies by engine, from one to three.
Does a piezoelectric knock sensor need power to work?
No. This sensor has a self-generating piezoelectric design, so it needs no power supplied to it.
What can a failing Delphi AS10169 knock sensor cause?
A failing knock sensor can bring on a check engine light, reduced performance or engine knock. A shop can test the sensor and its circuit.
Is the Delphi AS10169 knock sensor protected from road salt and moisture?
Yes. Delphi AS10169 is sealed to withstand humidity, salt spray and automotive fluids, and its 2-wire harness is shielded against electromagnetic interference.
