Technical Which puntos limp home with failed crank sensor?

[judderbar]

A few people here have mentioned you can limp home with a failed crank sensor via the cam sensor but my 2004 Mk2b with Bosch ME73H4F001 ECU does not have this feature and I really would like to have it rather than risk a break down on the motorway.

(ECU ME73H4F001 were available in at least 2001).

Well anything from 1999 - 2003 (non cam and twin lambda)
WONT
no crank sensor = no running

I dont think any of the punto's do that
I know vauxhalls on some of there cars, but not sure which

Tbh crank sensors fail - they fail, its not end of the world
The alternative is sad - but carry a spare - knowing you may / may not ever need it?

The 8v's fail when hot usually - when they cool, they work again
So it may be worth while noting, that you could limp home with a dying one
Obviously, the issue is when its actually dead dead, then your stuck as before

who carries spare crank sensor? if you carry that, then put in timing belt too

If carrying a cam belt throw some coils and a spare wiper linkage too!!

I wouldnt worry personally
