ok here goes

done a diagnostic check (easy way with piece of wire )

got code 34 (detonation sensor )

read through some threads about this (no wiser )

basically could be anything from electrical contacts to plugs,maybe just sensor fault.

can anyone help me prefrably with quick idiot proof ideas ??? :confused:

Yes, code 34 is the DET sensor. (was this from Conzult or ECU diag?) a reset might sort it??

Your option is to check connection or replace so I understand.

Having read loads of posts on this site it would seem that the common thing is the connector so it would be wise to check this first and clean it up.

I havent had this prob myself so only speak from what I have read .

Hope you get it sorted.

The det sensor is at the back of the engine, so pretty

much impossible to clean it up. Could well be that it is

gacked up. Here is a link to bypass the det sensor

However...if you do this, you will loose the sensor altogether,

meaning that if it ever does det for real, it will not go into

safety boost! The choice is yours, although as said before...

just resetting the ecu/disconnecting the battery may cure it.

clean the plug to it under the bonnet it cured my code 34

cheers lads

dont want to bypass for obvious reasons

will try disconecting battery and try again

if still there i will try cleaning connector plug as stevo mentioned if someone will tell me where the bloody hell it is

Have a look at the link, on top of that page it shows the plug location :)
