(T) 1.2 Engine Fault and jolt to car

£40-50 in most places

Thanks minimad99 dad disconnected the sensor on the crankshaft and now ive got my car back!!!

Ah excellent, I hope he's replaced it with a new one, LOL
Don't forget to click me Thanks on my original post

yeah no probs il do it now... .no unfortunatly he just secured the connection ran perfect for about a week and now its being a pain again! im gona go and get a new crank shaft sensor and see if that works!

just got back from the garage and had a new crank shaft sensor fitted........ its the same if not worse now!!!


They suggested that it could be the fact that ive had a new computer fitted in october and its faulty because fiat never fit new ones only reconditioned ones?

Has anyone else had this issue?

Good chance it's a poor contact (on the connector) which means you most likely didn't need a new sensor.

sorry but thats rubbish

Took it to fiat last night and the ecu "computer" has malfunctioned a new one has been ordered and is being fitted tommorrow under the guarantee.

i didnt read the second page so edited!

also as for fiat putting in recon parts on big items, they did it with me on the second gearbox-which was faulty

So are you saying that used parts are more reliable than new (I think your re-con gearbox has been OK hasn't it?)

majority of manufactuers only fit new parts if car has not yet been out on the road, otherwise its recon items (if applicable)


why an I never spell 'manufactuers'
