Crank Position Sensor

Recommended Posts

I think my crank position sensor has had it, but despite plenty of messing around on eBay and GSF, I can't find prices for one :lol: Anyone any ideas where you can pick a new one up as I heard they weren't all that expensive new? :)

What engine do you have and what year is your car? I ask, because probably 90% of 8v 205 GTI's don't have a crank sensor that does anything.

Sorry, it's a D6C Mi16. I've thrown a crank position sensor from a 106 on there and I think it might be why my engine won't start :lol::) ECU works fine :)

Are you suggesting, for a second, that you'll find Peugeot's in scrapyards??

You can use GTi6, S16 ones with out a problem, Not sure on any other's as I;ve never seen them

Agreed, I've interchanged both of those with Mi16s and 2.0 turbos too.

You'd think they'd be all the same given that a CPS is hardly a complex piece of kit, but, having double checked my ECU (works fine in another 405) I think I've narrowed it down to being the CPS. I'd presume that a CPS from a 'standard' 1.8 Xantia/406 would do the trick?

yes, the differences in my experience have only been the length of the fly lead that is attached.

 

I have swapped 8v Motronic with GTi6 magnetti and S16 Motronic, all have differing part numbers but the same plug on the end and all of them work :P

And yet... the TU one I used appears to be at fault... At least I hope so or it's around in circles again trying to find ze problem :huh:
