Crank sensor

[cupraman1991]

Does anyone know where the crank sensor is on a mk2 seat Ibiza 8v gti cupra sport ?

Thanx

bottom of the block on the front on the passenger side i think... therell be a black cable coming from it with a grey plug on the end

in front behind oil filter housing, git of a job to do TBH. im guessing you have the old limit at 5k fault?

 

[cupraman1991]

Na the car us failing to start, and when it does it cuts out but it will start by a bump start no problem

 

[cupraman1991]

And where does the grey connector plug into

if crank sensors playing up, it usually fires then cuts out -similar to immobilser fault- or won't fire at all, therefore if yours bump starts then maybe problem lies elsewhere?

the wire presumably goes to the ECU ?

 

[ibiza_95]

it plugs into another grey connector... srsly

Yer just checking that's all, I have checked the ignition side and eveything seems fine like the ht leads sparks, dizzy, ignition coil. Dunno where else to lookany ideas ?

battery? would make sense if it bump starts...

 

[cupraman1991]

Checked the battery with an avo meter it mine

i've got the problem at 5k rev limit. i thought it was because the timing was out. could it also be a crank sensor then?

i did diagnostics on mine, all that came up was hall sender on dizzy cap.

 

[skwaggles]

that came up on my diagnostics too. have since changed the dizzy. i got a brand new one off ebay for 46 quid with 3 year warranty on it if you was looking to get one vince. came with dizzy cap too. still redlines at 5k rpm though.....

 

[vngtx]

also got 3 air flow sensor failures, one was a short circuit. check all your engine loom for breaks,.

 

[skwaggles]

will have a look 2mo. is yours over fuelling?

 

[vngtx]

as always averaging 25 at the minute. just polished the cam cover cos i was bored and didnt cost nwt to do. aslong as the engine is shiny it will go faster

 

[skwaggles]

haha. would love to believe that. mines averaging 4.3 mpg at the mo. is running mighty rich. lol. good response when you put your foot down hard, revs nicely straight to the limit but really lumpy when trying to ease it through the range

 

[vngtx]

got to be something up with your timing. or ecu.



your account inbox has too many messages...

 

[skwaggles]

yeah. hopefully monday will clear it up a bit. can get it back on the diagnostics too. fingers crossed monday will have it sorted and motable. inbox cleared now mate

Seem to recall reading on Mk3 Golf forums that VAGcom wasn't showing Crank Sensor problems?

I just priced crank sensors a couple of days ago while finding out if anyone had them on the shelf, in case none of the other fixes for my poorly AGG work out...

Euro: not listed
GSF: on the shelf, 18.90+tax
Andrew Page: on the shelf, just under 40+tax
Seat dealer Parts counter, Available to order, iffy ETA, just under 190+tax

Just goes to show the power of shopping about...
