"Question About Replacing The Knock Sensor on 2000 Subaru Forester"

White 2000 Subaru Forester

Today question come from Ian Jeremy in Wichita County Courthouse, Texas. He’s question is about where is the knock sensor on a 2000 Subaru Forester and is it easy to replace?

Answer: On your car this is located on the rear of the engine, under the throttle body and towards the left (driver’s side, pretty much under where the throttle cable hooks on). It’s black, round in shape. Just take the plastic air intake stuff off the throttle body to access, DO NOT remove the intake manifold (totally unnecessary, trust me, I’ve done a few). Use a 12mm socket with swivel to remove. It is important not to over tighten these, as they can crack. Clean mounting surface well and torque to around 15-17 ft lbs. Don’t worry, these are easy to do. Good luck!
