Correct, it will only work on the older engines, the new ones need a fault code reader Sad

Knock sensor 1 is on cylinder 1 which is the drivers side.

How does it drive, if its knock sensor then you get no ECU light until you first rev it and then it runs very flat (low on pwoer)

Check the wiring has not got caught in the aux belt and damaged

Drives absolutely fine Mark. No loss of power and EM light on permanently.

Does it ever cut out or struggle to start?

Its worth giving the knock sensor plug a good clean then......usualy by the EGR valve or on a bracket on the cam cover, simply follow the wire up the left hand side cam belt cover edge....
