Hi I have recently got engine man light on dash, it has been diagnosed as knock sensor po325, also the engine is makin a loud tapping sound like tappets. Is this problem likely to be related to knock sensor bein faulty or is this noise to do with triggering knock sensor fault. The light goes off some times + that means the engine quiet again + reappears wen light appears again. Any help wud be appreciated ;-)
