Camshaft Sensor
 

Hello
My ECU is reportng a failed camshaft sensor and car is showing associated hesitation problems and not starting occasionally when hot.
What I would like to know is.....
How much do they cost to replace.
Some mentioned you can clean them, is this so, how do you do it?
Can I change it myself, if so where is it?

Thanks in advance for any advice

Depends on the year of your vehicle as the very early models had a different type. But the majority of vehicles use part number 22056AA062 & last time I checked the Subaru RRP was £102.61+VAT.

However I have brand new Subaru ones in stock that I purchased direct from Japan that we retail for £44.78+VAT. We also have low price crank sensors in stock if any one needs one.

The sensor is based @ the top of the LH side of the engine near the cambelt cover & oil filler & should only take about half an hour to replace. Your reported fault ties up with failure of the cam or crank sensor.

Sounds good Andy, I have a MY95 WRX (Import). I think I will start with the camshaft sensor.
What is the best way to order one? Should I just call up the number on your website?
thanks
Ben

Yes 22056AA062 is the one for your model.
Best to send me a mail andrewhendry@dhcars.co.uk with your delivery address & call 01666-824369 with your card details & I will send out 2mo.

Sensor arrived today, thanks Andy

eh !! half hour on a classic...

rubbish..

10 minutes max, and that includes having a cup of tea!!!

one bolt- one plug in out shake it all about..

if you need a quick limp home fix....

just unplug and reconnect the suspect sensor,, it will allow you to drive the car..

i had the same,,, bought the cam sensor.... it turned out to be the crank.

Considering he was not sure of the location of the sensor to start with I don't think quoting about half an hour was unfair.

7 mins flat, managed to get my wheels rotated in 45 minutes as well maybe i should apply for a position with an F1 pit crew.
ECU diagnostics is showing the all clear now, unfortunately it is still running rough when cold, looks like it's off to the mechanics.
