Sounds like the one then.

If it has chrome vents in the bumper it's the one.

Knock sensors sometimes show up wrong e.g it says rear when it's actually the front.

Try disconnecting them and doing the paperclip test. If you disconnect the rear and do the test again, it should say rear knock sensor only if it's the rear at fault. If you disconnect the front and it says both knock sensors then it's definitely the rear :)

Yeah! Buy a knock sensor from Autovaux, they are the same front and rear,  undo and replace! The front one is easy peezy and so is the rear TBH just an absolute tit to get at! Have a look on v6calibra.net or I have a thread on here with pics when I did mine, if someone would be good enough to find it and post? I'm on phone and its slow going lol!
