Radioman Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Do you th8nk it’s best to change the belt first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I would say it's more then likely going to be one of the sensors then the timing belt. Getting quite common now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Yes probably one of the crank sensors. If you check the service manual on the forum (you might need to be a paid member) it will tell you how to test them with a multimeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Clean both cam sensor connectors (there are 2 cam position sensors on the intake cam, and one crank position sensor on the front of the crank, bolted to the oil pump casting, low down on the RH side), and the sensor pins with a contact cleaner spray. Check mechanical condition of plug shells and contacts, reassemble. Do the same for the crankshaft position sensor connector which is remote from the sensor itself on a moulded on fly lead, up by the front turbo. Clear codes, see if it comes back. If it does get a garage to use a scope with a lot of memory to look at the signals from these sensors *AT THE ECU* Edited September 25, 2017 by Chris Wilson (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioman Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Thank you. The belt looks ok but I’m changing it anyway as it’s time it was and will def check and clean those sensors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
