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.

  • Every unit is tested with an accelerometer vibration test.
  • Quality control runs from the components through to the finished product.
  • An automated data acquisition system monitors sensor output during manufacturing, to confirm the right voltage at the specified frequency range.
  • Accommodates shifts in engine knock frequency, so it responds across a broad range of vehicle conditions.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Standard Ignition KS361 knock sensor fit the 2005-2009 Audi A8 Quattro?

Yes. Standard Ignition KS361 is a direct-fit knock sensor for the 2005-2009 Audi A8 Quattro.

What frequency range does the Standard Ignition KS361 respond to?

Standard Ignition KS361 responds to knock frequencies up to 1000 Hz. That lets it follow shifts in engine knock frequency over a broad range of vehicle conditions.

How is this knock sensor tested before it ships?

Every unit gets an accelerometer vibration test. During manufacturing, an automated data acquisition system monitors the output to confirm the right voltage at the specified frequency range.

Which symptoms can a worn knock sensor cause?

Pinging under load, reduced power or a check engine light can be signs of a worn knock sensor. Testing it needs the engine running, so leave that to a shop.

Does this knock sensor replace OE number 07C905377AA?

Yes. 07C905377AA is an interchange number for this knock sensor, along with S8961, SU14160 and DKS801.
