Good job you didn't buy the ca sensor because somebody 'guessed' ;D
crank sensor easy on 2.0 if no a/c, fiddly if you have a/c

I have air con .....
Been looing for a how to !
I have new sensor in my hand , Ive unplugged it and followed the wire to the end but the rest is just guess work :-(

Just read its the crank sensor and not cam sensor. I don't know how much a crank sensor is but i've just paid £67 for a genuine cam sensor for a 2.2

If (and I mean if) he's doing those jobs properly, it's TOO cheap.
Lets face it, you can spend an hour taking the throttle body off, cleaning out the little hole, cleaning out the tubes, re-fitting it. Then you need to remove the pipe that goes from the block up to the camcover, which takes ages to clean on some.
On top of that, the crank sensor is a b@gger on the 2.0 with aircon.
I think that's more than reasonable, even if he's not including the part....
