I did a cooling system flush on my 2001 VDP and now I have "restricted performance" in amber lighted; I pulled the codes and it is the knock sensor on the driver side (P0332) but to be sure I switched it with the passanger side and now I get the P0327 code which confirmed that the sensor is bad. Who's got the best price for knock sensors? Might as well replace both of them for peace of mind. Thanks

 

I don't know if that offer still exist.
A few weeks back I ordered the knock sensors here:
www.autopartswarehouse.com, Item No W0133-1655837, $27.95

You can check in NALLEY, JPAM ,being vendors and you a forum member you will be able to get discount

 

Item No W0133-1655837 is not for a 2001 VDP. I need W0133-1657696-OES. Thanks

 

Meaculpa, the above item will fit!
It just has a little longer wire but that will tuck away nicely.
(I installed 2 of these knock sensors a few months back and had no problem since.)

I ordered them already. Like you said...plenty of room to hide a few extra inches of cable. I also noticed that the cable insulation on the old ones is cracked from the engine heat so on the new ones I will use some 1/4" ribbed cable insulation for some extra protection. Danke Schöen!

 

I would try drying out the connectors first with electonic contact spray. Unless you just have a bunch of spare $$!

 

Try this one:
OES Genuine Knock Sensor

or this:
OES Genuine Knock Sensor

I bought two of these (following DavidN advice) and so far so good:
OES Genuine Knock Sensor

 

part W0133-1655837 does not seem to exist anymore.

 

Part W0133-1655837 pops up everywhere w/a Google search.

 

The wire is too long but it is supposed to work anyway.
