In my case, it was much easier when crawl down to the car. No need to pull out other connectors from upside and weird position, just need tiny 10mm 1/4 sockets, blade screwdriver to wiggle the sensor out and small hands to shove it into between the intercooler pipe and radiator hose😂 Anyway, nice job dude👏👏

I have seen your video but I didn't manage to change the crankshaft sensor the way you did it! I had to work under the car and to remove the oil filter.

Christos Kefalas i think it would be easier that way, but i hate lying down on the floor under the car :)

What was the problem that made you decide to change the crankshaft sensor? Was the car turning off or just not starting?
@ralph23765 жыл бұрын
Mr. Velez the car did not start at all and there was an error code that said it was the crankshaft sensor :)

Consider getting some mole grips on it and pulling it off? Try twisting it and let it soak with some wd-40

Got the same trouble right now, the car starts but it stops right after 20 min driving. I think this is problem of the crankshaft. Electric is ok, gas is ok but then when I try to start the or even when it starts, stop after 20 min

Thanks for your video. I have the same problem. I was thinking to buy the same brand (SPARK) replacement sensor. Could you please tell me if still works properly? Many many thanks and congratulations for the channel! Hope to receive your feedback.
