- VAG 1598/22 test box
- Multimeter US 1119 (Fluke 83 or equivalent)
- VW 1594 connector test kit
- Wiring diagrams
Checking:
Connect VAG 1551/1552 Scan Tool (ST) and press buttons -0- and -1- to insert "Engine Electronics" address word 01
Select function XX Indicated on display
Press buttons -0- and -8- to select "Read Measuring Value Block" function 08, and press -Q- button to confirm input.

1 2 3 4 Indicated on display (1-4 = display groups)
Note:
The test must be carried out during a road test because the knock sensor system is only active at a certain engine speed.
Road test car and compare display with specified values for knock sensor system in display field 1-4.
WARNING!
A second technician is required to operate the VAG 1551 scan tool during the road test.

Connector terminal 1 to terminal 2
Connector terminal 1 to terminal 3
Connector terminal 2 to terminal 3
Specified value: Inf Ohms
If resistance is OK (no continuity):
Connect VAG 1598/22 test box to Motronic ECM harness connector => page 01-70.
Check wiring for open circuit between ECM/test box and 3-pin harness connector, according to wiring diagram.
Connector terminal 1 to ECM/test box socket 68
Connector terminal 2 to ECM/test box socket 67
Connector terminal 3 to ECM/test box socket 2
Specified value: max. 1.5 Ohms
Check wiring for short circuits between terminals of 3-pin connector, and between connector and ECM/test box.
Connector terminal 2 to ECM/test box socket 68
Connector terminal 3 to ECM/test box socket 68
Connector terminal 3 to ECM/test box socket 67

well i'll log block 20 and check the resistance @ the sensor end, see where i'm at :/, dealer just..
replaced vcg/adjuster gasket but i don't think that's related to this (warranty), hopefully engine's fuxxed and they wanna give me a new one :P
