Title: Crank sensor
Post by: Kes on 01 April 2007, 11:45:17

Hi all , I was just took a look at fitting said item in the maintanece section , I see it goes towards routing it a different way . Mt question is , is their enough cable to do it this way . I've got as far as stripping out the tray under the windscreen and finding where plugged into the block , not found the 3pin connector yet .
Stripping out so I get the right sensor as mine is one of the 1st face lift models .

Cheers

Kes

Yes, there is plenty of cable for re-routing, that's what i done.

As long as you keep it away from the manifolds, and cable tie it up properly it'll be fine.  ;)

Next time it needs done it'll be a 10 minute job now.  :y

You should invest in a set because they do come in handy.

You'd be amazed how many jobs you need them for.  ::)

8mm socket will work on the bolt holding the sensor next to the oil filter.

Do get a set of torx sockets though. Essential when working on most modern cars.

Yeeeehaaaaaa. :) I'me like a dog with two dicks . For the first time since owning this car I can now see it does do more than 85mph in top gear. On a private stretch of road  ;) I hit 130 admittedly not that I advocate this speed but all the same chuffed to f*%k.

Rerouted the easy option and taped up the wire with with sticky ally heat tape.

The option of a piece of string to pull through was never going to happen , after cutting both ends off the old sensor it still would'nt pull out anyway .

Cheers for yer help lads
