Technical knock sensor torque figures

[aurick86]

hello,

can somebody tell me the correct knock sensor torque figures for a 1.4 12V 1998 fiat bravo.

i had to remove the sensor to do a visual inspection of it.
it seamed fine, but now i need to know if the force used to tighten the sensor is crucial in it's functioning.
any tips on how and if i should clean the sensor and the engine and the place where the sensor sits.

The knock sensor should be tightened to 25nm / 18 lbf ft. Make sure the mounting surface is clean on the sensor and the engine, just make sure there is no grit or debry on either surface all you should need to do is wipe any dirt off.

Thank you Adrian.
hope i remember it when i'll get hold of the torque wrench again.

And if it's not close with a wrench that happens, I got it I just cleaned the sensor and I gathered with a simple questionnaire
