Title: knock sensor
Post by: laney101 on 02 July 2015, 13:19:53

bought a v6 omega with 71k on clock mint cat but was rattling.. took apart found three tappets collapsed.

changed a bank of tappets while out changed cams to g cams on inlet. fitted new cam seals rocker cover gaskets and spark plugs.

started car up after a few mins of tappets settling car is whisper quiet. couldn't believe it.


however I now have a eml light on and when read say knock sensor. think it said low input or low voltage.

anyone got any idea???

Knock sensor cable caught up &  pinched  when  replacing cam belt would be my first area to look   :-\

Check around the Aux belt tensioner area  ;)
