Give your engine's control module the vibration data it needs to catch detonation with the Standard Ignition Ignition Knock (Detonation) Sensor KS247. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2000 Volkswagen Golf (V6-2.8L) and 2000-2001 Volkswagen Jetta (V6-2.8L), where it picks up engine-knock vibrations and sends a voltage signal to the ECU so it can adjust ignition timing.
- 100% tested: every unit is checked with an accelerometer vibration test to help verify trouble-free operation.
- Wide knock response: designed to respond to knock frequencies up to 1000 Hz, accommodating shifts in knock frequency across a broad range of engine conditions.
- Monitored output: an automated data-acquisition system tracks sensor output during manufacturing to confirm it responds with the appropriate voltage at the specified frequency range.
- Emission-component quality: built by a global emission-component manufacturer with quality control maintained through the production process.
The KS247 uses a bolt-mount design with a single oval connector carrying three male pin terminals. Mounting hardware is not included; consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused. The listed applications use one sensor; this listing is for one. Country of origin: Italy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the KS247 knock sensor do?
It detects engine-knock (detonation) vibrations and sends a voltage signal to the ECU, which can then adjust ignition timing. It does not fix knock itself.
Which vehicles does the KS247 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2000 Volkswagen Golf (V6-2.8L) and the 2000-2001 Volkswagen Jetta (V6-2.8L). See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
Is mounting hardware included?
No. Mounting hardware is not included. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused.
How many knock sensors do I need?
The listed applications use one sensor per vehicle, and this listing is for one unit.
What are signs this knock sensor may need replacing?
A stored knock sensor circuit code, engine pinging, or reduced performance can be signs it may need replacing. Diagnose the actual cause before replacing, as these symptoms can have other sources.
