What is this potted thing?

I'm tearing down the engine and just noticed this potted thing with a single wire attached to it. It's located by the oil fill tube.
What is it?

Knock sensor. And yes, before you ask, you need it.

Do they all come with knock sensors? B/c I have had the manifolds off my S4 and I did not see that. Let alone you could prolly see it with the manifolds on.

I can vouch for it running pig rich.
