2007 Mini Cooper S - Crankshaft Position Sensor

This is how to find and replace the crankshaft position sensor (CPS) on a 2007 Mini Cooper S. The original, unedited video is just over 8 minutes long so, with lifting/lowering time, the whole job took about 20 minutes. I decided to try a voice-over narration cuz I didn't want my neighbors thinking I'm crazy and talking to myself under my car. Enjoy!

[@rfcasey]

[@v_twin_villain]

Nope!

[@opeyemiosiyemi2560]

Do you think cam shaft sensor can make the engine cut off when put in drive or reverse

Hello I have a problem with my 2010 Mini Cooper I’m guessing it might be this it gave me this code P0705 check engine came up won’t go over 20 miles and if I stop and put it on park won’t let me go back to drive and this is the code it gave me, could this be the same issue you had ??

[@v_twin_villain]

Unfortunately, I don't remember the exact symptoms I had when I made this video. 2010 should be in the same generation as 07 though, so as long as you have the 1.6l turbo (without 4 wheel drive) this sensor sounds be in the same place. Good luck!

[@ponk3to]

@@v_twin_villain i think my problem is the transmission range sensor do you happened to know where it’s located or how I can access it I can’t find anything on KZbin ??

Damn they really screwed over the newer gen owners

[@hannahcayea6645]

Any idea if this job would be the same on an 08 base mini?

[@v_twin_villain]

I doubt it though, I cannot say for certain...sorry

[@garcia5705]

If the sensor is not all the way in ,the car start??

[@v_twin_villain]

jose garcia I'm not sure - it might idle pretty roughly if it starts at all.

[@garcia5705]

Ok Thnks for respond me back.

[@ericbeann]

[@v_twin_villain]

[@ericbeann]

[@ericbeann]

[@v_twin_villain]

@@ericbeann oh ok, that I don't know, sorry

[@taxexpress2900]

[@v_twin_villain]

[@techstar4547]

[@v_twin_villain]
