With the help of the Haynes manual, I changed the knock sensors on my 98 V70 GLT about 2 weeks ago. Because the intake manifold had to come off, I documented the process in a PowerPoint presentation complete with over 20 pictures and descriptions. I converted it to a .pdf document about 1.5 MB in size. I'd like to share it because it could be a big help to someone else who has to do the job. It's relatively easy to do and I saved nearly $700. Where can I post a .pdf so everyone can get to it? My ISP will only allow me to post jpgs. Thanks in advance...

    Why did you have to change the knock sensor? havy pinging? do you get a "check engine" warning?

      I got a check engine light and the ECU was in limp home mode. Terrible performance and gas mileage. It's a totally different car now.
