I beg to differ, but our engines definitely do *NOT* have knock sensors!
I believe there was a thread about this some time ago, while our engines
are computer controlled, they don't have knock sensors. Most of the
newer CC FWD Turbo Vehicles have knock sensors, and I can't vouch for
the other manufacturers, but AFAIK, Daks don't have knock sensors (at
least thru the '96 model). If the '97-up models have one, then it's a
new feature. Can anyone confirm or deny??
