Delphi AS10324 Ignition Knock (Detonation) Sensor

Ignition Knock Sensor for OE-Style Engine Control

The Delphi AS10324 ignition knock sensor is built for accurate detonation detection and stable engine management. It is a direct-fit sensor for select Audi Q5, Volkswagen Atlas, Jetta, Tiguan, Passat, GTI, Beetle, Golf Alltrack, Golf SportWagen, and Golf applications.

Delphi validates its sensors to OE standards and calibrates them for accurate readings, helping maintain consistent performance and reduce repeat repairs. If you are replacing a knock sensor on a 2018-2023 Audi Q5 or a 2013-2023 Volkswagen Jetta, AS10324 is built to match the original application.

Detailed Description

Delphi AS10324 is an ignition knock sensor used to monitor engine vibration patterns and send a signal to the control system when detonation is detected. That signal helps the engine management system adjust timing and protect performance under load. Delphi’s sensor portfolio is developed with OE-focused validation methods, and this unit is calibrated to OE standards for consistent readings. This part cross-references Standard Ignition KS445 for the same application.

Compatible With select Audi and Volkswagen models including the Audi Q5 and Q5 Sportback, plus Volkswagen Atlas, Atlas Cross Sport, Jetta, Tiguan, Passat, GTI, Beetle, Golf Alltrack, Golf SportWagen, and Golf. The Delphi AS10324 is a practical replacement choice when you need a knock sensor that matches the original electrical and mounting style.

What It Helps Solve

• Knock sensor fault codes related to detonation detection
• Erratic ignition timing caused by inaccurate knock signals
• Reduced engine response under load from sensor signal issues
• Check engine light concerns tied to knock sensor performance
• Driveability complaints linked to failed or aging engine sensors

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and mounting style before installation. The AS10324 uses a screw mount with a single oval male connector and two male terminals, so matching the original harness and mounting point is important. Inspect the mounting surface and wiring for corrosion, damage, or looseness before fitting the new sensor.
