Standard Ignition Ignition Knock (Detonation) Sensor P/N:KS215
Standard Ignition KS361 sensor for the 2005-2009 Audi A8 Quattro is a knock (detonation) sensor that picks up engine knock and reports it to the engine computer as a voltage signal.
Pinging or rattling under load, a drop in power or a lit check engine light can mean the knock sensor is worn, though a damaged wiring harness or a faulty connector can be behind the same signs, so find the cause before you replace it.
This knock sensor is a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2009 Audi A8 Quattro.
