This video shows you how to install new engine knock sensors from TRQ on your 2012-2022 Volkswagen Passat (2.5L L5). A knock sensor monitors your vehicle’s engine for unusual pulsations caused by things such as engine knock. If a sensor is damaged or malfunctioning, the engine may run poorly, inefficiently, or only in a low speed safe mode, and may also trigger diagnostic codes.
This repair was done on a 2014 Volkswagen Passat SE 2.5L Sedan 4-Door FWD Automatic and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
