Title: 2.2 Camshaft Sensor
Post by: Omega3 on 20 November 2009, 16:59:12: Hi everyone. Had some problems starting my 2.2 over the last few weeks. Finally got the Engine check light to stay on today and Tech 2 gives Camshaft sensor as fault. :(
How easy is this to replace? I couldn't find a how to guide.
Can anyone point me in the right direction.. :)

Take the black eco strip off, and the nut at the bottom between the cams and it comes out

Post by: Omega3 on 20 November 2009, 17:18:27: Cheers for that :y I've got to do the cam cover gasket too so may try and combine the two. Is it possible to replace the sensor from above or will I still need to remove the cambelt cover and aux belt. (spanner novice)

Post by: davethediver on 20 November 2009, 17:26:26: CAm cover has to come off along with aux belt, just do a quick drawing of it on so you know how to replace aux belt.

Easy enough to do :y

Cambelt cover has to come off, cam cover can stay where it is. But its a good idea to combine to two, check out my guide for the 2.2 :y

Thanks for all the great info everyone.
Just a further thought though. After reading a few posts on hear about the same symptoms of engine turning over but not starting, most seem to suggest crankshaft sensor and say that may give false reading of camshaft sensor. Should I be looking for any other confirmation before I proceed? :-/ Advice appreciated thanks.

Camshaft sensor on the 4 pot and crankshaft sensor on the V6.

Post by: tunnie on 21 November 2009, 12:40:21: What he says ^^

One the 4 pots, cam sensors fail, crank sensors rarely fail.

V6, crank sensors always go, Cam sensors never fail

;D
