Just one more thing...
Some instructions say that the sensor should be oriented so that the wires come off it at a 45 degree angle to the engine. Not directly forward or back and not directly to the side. Because of clearance issues there may be only one position where this is possible.
I would be pleased to an explanation from anyone as to why this would matter.

I might add mine was corroded on my 2000 2.5.
So I bought new and then cleaned up the mating surface on the block.
I still get a code, but my engine seems to run well.

The sensor needs to be held firmly to the case. The bolt should not bottom out. Get a shorter bolt or saw some off the end. I believe that I saw a torque value somewhere, Haynes or Alldatadiy maybe. I'd say "medium tight", about as tight as you can with one hand on a short 1/4" drive ratchet.

My receintly installed ej22 in my 88 Wolfsburg has developed a code 22, knock sensor. The sensor was loose on the block and the sensor could easily swivel. Is this normal or should there be firm contact between the sensor and the block? is there a torque value? I have a new sensor and it is as loose as the original. The attaching bolt may not be original but does bottom out allowing the sensor to move.
Thanks in advance.
