(G) I need a crank sensor

Mobile mechanic came out to look at red cinq today, pulled everything about and found out it isn't the ecu as diagnosed by the recovery man. Apparently the pulley near the timing belt was loose, the metal on metal sound I heard was a lump of metal caught up that had spun around and sheared off the top of the crank sensor. The sensor will need to be smashed out and replaced with another.

Relief in one way cos it was hinted at that it might be the head gasket, but that has been eliminated now.

ive only got punto ones and they have a shorter wire if no one on here has one there is one in a sei up my mates yard

Not ideal but could the wire be bodged neatly if such a thing exists with the duff sensor and donor sensor?

Thanks guys.

Knew you'd have some parts hanging around Dave. Would a Sei one be the same?

Rang my sister to see if she still had the 899cc one, but it went with the rest of the engine.

Can the crank sensor be replaced easily as a DIY job - bearing in mind it will need to be broken out?

PS. Dave you were right about Fronteras!!!!!

very easy.1 bolt at the sensor and a plug at t'other end.if the one dave has,has a shorter cable then extend its length with cables with male/female spades as a temp fix

sei one should fit he wont want a lot for it, dont smash the old one out you may brake the mount, just cut a bit off so its flush with the mount, remove bolt and it will cone out easy

Great - might have a go myself then.

Could you let me know how much your mate wants for the sensor Dave?

Thanks

i just remembered he sold the engine, i hope he took that of first, will be up there tomorrow if all goes to plan so i will see

The 899cc TDC sensors are totally different to the ones on the FIRE powered models

Oh!! Shows how much the mobile mechanic knows then he told me they were exactly the same.

Any luck Dave?

didnt get up there my going to the scrappy car is stuck behind daryls and he didnt come home to push it out the way my punto is too low to go through the farm

same as what my cinq needs probs just go to fiat and get one me thinks

aswell as gettin another cinq this week me thinks!

I know what you mean about getting another cinq!!!!

Didn't want to buy the part new, apart from being mean it would be my luck it isn't the crank sensor after all!! Plus, being a student I need cheap and cheerful.

iv got 2 i think. pm me if you still need one
