This.
We had to re-wire a plug back on the harness of my friend's 92 TSI so we could hook the knock sensor back up. It's been working fine so far, but I don't think re-wiring would solve phantom knock issues or an over-sensitive sensor. I have heard of using plumbers tape on the threads in an attempt to try and cushion the vibrations a bit more, however.
