Brian-
 Good questions. =20
Since ignition advance is electronically controlled, it was apparently =
not difficult for the VW engineers to make the electronics respond to an =
input from the knock sensor. In just what manner it does this is beyond =
my knowledge.
(and the Bentley does not give any clues..... )=20

  Ok folks,
  I have a very technical set of questions.

  88 16v VW scirocco The knock ignition system.=20

  is it a variable retard based on the amplitude or the frequency of the =

  knock sensor or is it an on or off.=20

  If it is variable, how does it work exactly. i understand knock =3D =
retard=20
  the ingition. How could one tap into the system to retard the =
ignition.
  Brian
