another lie in the BOL?

Hi
I've asked some time ago where was the knock sensor located in my car. It seemed that everybody agreed that there are no knock sensors in the 2.0 8 valve ZX.
But after reading my BOL (It finnaly arrived!!!), I was reading about the fuel injection system and it mentions a knock sensor in my car.
So, is this another lie of the BOL?

Oscar, I changed the knock sensor the other week on my 2.0 litre 8v activa.
I imagine yours has oneif it has basically the same engine minus turbo!
Look down at the front of the engine above the filter to the right and its like a small mushroom shaped sensor with a bolt in the middle with a cable leading of it to a connector
Hope that helps you out

The 2.0 8v (non turbo) Xantia had a knock sensor. The smaller engines did not. So I would assume the ZX would also have one.
Then again, never assume anything with French cars.
