Evening all,

I was on my way home from work on Friday when my engine management light came on,
so within 15 mins i had it on diagnostics, which flagged up one fault. Crankshaft position sensor 'A'. Ive done a search but this only specifies the problem on classics. How easy is this problem to sort & is it a job any mechanic can do? Can i please have a step by step if possible & where can i buy a Crankshaft position sensor 'A' from?

cheers all

2 minute job mate....new one from subaru is about £100. Its just under your alternator...1 bolt and 1 plug but its getting to it. See if you can borrow a short stub rachet. I think its a 12mm. I got hands like spades but still managed

 

cheers Tucker ,
much appreciated mate.
I,ll try and get the part sorted tomorrow

 

Ive have ordered the part, now its just locating the original

Is this the Crankshaft position sensor 'A'

 

I dont think thats the one mate....try to the right hand side of the alternator...Its got a brown head on it with a grey plug... look in between the belts...should find it there!

 

No m8 thats not it look from the front at the engine left of the alternator bracket bottom fixing the plug is horizontal pointing to passenger side

 

Cheers guys.

Found it now, will fit the new one tomorrow if the weather holds up.

thanks for the help. much appreciated

 

you sure it was crankshaft and not camshaft position sensor a
