Opel / Vauxhall Corsa C P0335 crankshaft sensor replacement guide.

[@tmakahavok]

Did this today with a jack and two axel stands and it worked. Saved me £200. Hardest part was getting the sensor out as hands are too big and there's very little room to work with in general. Thanks for uploading the video made this easy.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Pleasure and well done

[@graemerobertson5160]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video, I followed it and got rid of starting and stalling problems.

[@paulster2686]

Great video. I would just add, a small amount of lubricant (clean engine oil) on the sensor and o-ring will help tremendously when re-inserting it into the block.This will also help in seating the o-ring without damage.

[@shaun27ful]

I'm sure someone out there will be very glad of that advice great video buddy.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

shaun pi Thanks mate

[@andrewpenketh5498]

Did mine today on my 1.7 DI combo van. It was a git to get to. Just underneath starter motor and above driveshaft. There was also a starter motor bolt right in line of the bolt (hence why I needed the 1/4 drive universal joint😟 Mine was an M10 bolt. The only way I could get to it was a 1/4 drive socket, universal joint and 100mm extension bar.... not easy at all. Very fiddly. The good news is it’s now purring like a kitten. I also changed out the EDU on back of engine ( fuel control brains). They both give same symptoms. Sending my old EDU off for repair on the eBay advert (£40.00 with lifetime warranty) Great video... very helpful

[@MrBazdamic]

Hello, can you please give me the sensore code please!??

[@Kefo11]

What's an EDU? As i changed this with a new one and it's the same problem again...

[@EASTLONDONPIMP]

fredintheshed1 want to do mine? lol

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

+EASTLONDONPIMP Nah that's why I made the video for you to have a go. Hardest part is getting the old one out if its the orig part as it can be tight. Also let the cars exhaust cool down. You can do it.

Thanks, it's exactly the SAME ON ASTRA H 1.4 PETROL!

[@Tobinindustrial]

Thanks for sharing. My dad owned a Vauxhall way, way back in the day. I don't believe they sell them here in Canada anymore and I suspect it was an import when he bought as we were a colony of Great Britian before Confederation with Canada in 1949.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Andy Tobin Hi Andy. They are sold worldwide under the Opel brand. Vauxhall has a huge plant in Luton UK which is just a few miles from me. I think the Corsa was made in Spain though.

I believe my o-ring came off in the block and I have tried everything to get it out, new sensor goes in but everything since I've gone through 3 of them. Any tips?

[@hundui]

Perfectly explained Thanks man

[@bcmaughan]

Top video Fred thanks. I'm also in Somerset like the last commenter and looking to replace mine! Is this procedure the same for an astra g 1.7 dti? I don't have code 0335 but have 0370 and 0400 too. Reason I think it's maybe crank sensor is because when engine is warm and driving on very light constant throttle the car doesn't maintain a constant speed but seems to surge forward intermittently. Diesel consumption seems a little high too.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Once the engine losses its crank sensor it can throw up all sorts of codes as its totally lost.

[@bcmaughan]

Thanks Fred. Similar location and access on the astra 1.7dti isuzu or is it not an engine you know?

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Not sure Ben. Its going to be down low as it uses a magnet on the crankshaft.

[@bcmaughan]

On my Corsa C I only get the spanner light when the car has been running 20 odd mins, giving the crankshaft sensor fault, it never comes on from cold and the car runs perfectly, any thoughts??

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

It does sound like its breaking down when hot under load. What normally happens is that it will get worse till the car will not start as the car wont know where the crankshaft has stopped.

[@markyyyy7]

@@CB-RADIO-UK any idea what could be causing it?

[@mikenow3050]

Excellent video how it should be

[@TomBurns94]

I have just replaced this but I am now having a problem with the radiator fan. When I turn the ignition on the fan starts on maximum and continues when the engine starts, I have a error code of p0115. Any help would be appreciated.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

+TomBurns94 Sounds like the thermo temp switch may have failed. The ECT (Engine coolant temperature) sensor is basically a thermistor that changes resistance with temperature. Usually a two wire sensor, a 5Volt reference from PCM (Powertrain Control Module) and ground signal to PCM. This is different from a temperature SENDER (which usually operates the dash temperature gauge and operates in a similar way as the SENSOR, only it's a different circuit than what a P0115 is referring to). As the temperature of the coolant changes, the resistance changes on the ground signal to the PCM. When the engine is cold, the resistance is high. When the engine is warm, the resistance is low. If the PCM detects a voltage condition that seems abnormally low or high, P0115 will set.

[@RSPYT]

I love a simple job. Currently have my Focus apart dude, the work never ends lol.

[@cantnotfind]

Hello bro, i have a corsa c 1.7 dti disel but it's not working good, i want your opinion about my case, before it was very speed when the "Rotation" when to 1.8 or 2.0 the turbine started working and the speed was increased to very fast, now when i drive it's going very slowly and the rotation passes 1.8 , 2.0 and more but it's not taking any effect, i changed turbine , it's still the same, i tried with new AIR SENSOR it's still the same, my question is : is there any another SENSOR that i need to change to fix this problem? Thanks!!!

[@MHISD]

i have petrol corsa c 1.0 which is obviously very different engine than yours. The engine was very slow to response and sometimes it dropped the revs suddenly for a few seconds. After i changed the crankshaft sensor it's a lot better and don't have the same problems anymore. I would suggest to check the engine faults on your car first to be sure what is wrong rather than replacing everything that comes to your mind. Good luck :)

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Yes I agree with Antoan. It seems your turbo is not producing boost or perhaps the waste gate or turbo ducting is leaking pressure. Either way you are prob best to get it checked out on a rolling road. Have you tried putting this out on a Corsa forum.

[@cantnotfind]

Antoan Hady, Thanks for your reply bro! i already controlled everything regarding motor mechanic and the service told me that they don't work with sensors and electricity in the vehicle, but they confirmed everything else that is ok, also turbine was tested in another car and it was working good.. i think the problem is to sensors , but i'm not sure which sensor exactly is not working because i have to order it from ebay or somewhere..

[@aminazoi1079]

Thanks for sharing ,very helpful ,now I m going to try on my car as its broken down because of that fault ,,let's c ,,thanks again for helpful advise

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Amina Zoi Your welcome. As I mention on the video its a little cramped space to work if your laying on your back. The sensor may be a little tight in the block if its the original so take your time levering it out. Our Corsa has been running 100% since this video.

[@doug12341988]

I had this problem and paid a mechanic like £120 to fix it. Wish I had watched this video first!

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

+doug12341988 Don't worry we have all done things like that. Its an easy fix but the work area is tight.

[@thomasdalton-locke305]

Thanks for the great video! I'm almost there... I just can't seem to pull the old senser out. Bolt out, covered the lot in wd40, went at it will a long flat head screwdriver driver, but it just won't budge! Any suggestions before I send it off to the mechanic?

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Its a problem as they get stuck. Not much you can do other than use a pry bar to try and get it moving. What you dont want is it breaking off and dropping inside the engine. If its really stuck than it might be best to let the garage change it.

[@VVVhitesnake]

Hi. No sorry the car was sold on many years ago.

Hi, do i have to disconnect the battery before changing the sensor.? Will the new sensor confuse the ECU. Thanks

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

It should not. I just had the ignition off and did not have an issue.

[@neilwalsh4058]

What a great video, just changed the CP sensor on my sons Corsa and this was very helpful firstly to locate the sensor and the nice tip about an 8mm ring spanner. I have the torks sockets but it difficult to get one on where the sensor is. Gave it a 4 mile test run thro town and didn't get any of the stalling at junctions he had before. The engine management light stayed on tho after the new sensor and throughout the test run , but cleared the next time I started the car. Maybe the ecu learning the CPS is now good?

Well done Neil. You prob saved £100+ labour charge.

Hello, nice guide! Did your vehicle flash F? Mine does and I'm suspecting it's this sensors fault as it sometimes starts without trouble and sometimes just flashes f. Feels like a sensor fault then the whole actuator.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

I am not sure if it flashed. Its my daughters car. She stopped to get fuel the car being hot and it would not start. The EM light stayed on. It started and I read the code.

very nice...i need to do this on my calibra c20ne engine......ecu code 31....the sensor is at the front near the pass pump.

[@Daz1962]

Will this also fix the 'f' code problem - also apparently caused by a crankshaft sensor fault (according to multiple google searches)? Thanks - great video.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

TBH not sure. When the crank sensor fails it causes all sorts of issues and the computer has no idea of the engine timing.

[@enigmalex3649]

I replaced crankshaft sensor on my Opel Tigra. Error code was also deleted and I had the same problem as before it stals in idle and error code for cfrankshat sensor still comes up.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Maybe its something else. Try driving it a few times and search for codes.

​@@CB-RADIO-UK Thanks for the replay. Also I noticed that my speed senor doesn't work. I will try to change it also maybe that sensor is causing the problem. They working on the road where I live and after I drove a few times on that road problems with sensors started.

Thanks for the vid, gonna change mine soon as I'm having poor warm starting, although I get no error codes. Is this normal?

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

gazfcgruff We got a error code with ours the first time it refused to start. Without a code you wont know if its the crank or the camshaft sensor as both have similar symptoms. If your used to working on your car then its a cheap part to change and remove it from the problem.

If you don't have a code reader and the fault light is on, you can use the pedal test, requires no equipment at all, just Google vauxhall corsa pedal test

[@TaipansEmporium]

Very helfpul video. Thanks.

[@kpfrisby9]

my 2005 corsa c was cutting out at junctions after warmed up so checked fault codes and wasnt showing any but had an idea it was the crank sensor so i changed it and all seemed fine til the next day and the engine was now misfiring and showing a fault code of crank sensor and a cyl down as well as emissions out, it wasnt misfiring before i changed the crank sensor just cutting out, could this be a faulty new crank sensor ??

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Yes. The crank sensor i fitted in this video failed after 2 weeks. I bought a gen sensor from the the dealer and that one worked ok. The cheaper ones have quality issues.

[@wacka2]

hey there , i have the diesel , i have read the fault code using the pedals and it shows P0335 (CPS ) , but the engine management light is not on all the time and the vehicle runs perfectly fine , it normally would only come on when under load , ie , going up a steep hill ..........would you suggest that the crank pos sensor is failing , if the van runs perfectly well and has done for months ?

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

A P0335 fault code indeed means the crank sensor is going open circuit, on that i would change it. They normally start to fail intermittently when the engine is hot and shut down then a restart is tried. That normally triggers the engine light. If a failing sensor would put the light on under heavy load, iam not sure, that could be something else. Maybe a cheap ebay OBD 2 code reader is a good idea. Good luck

[@wacka2]

thanks

[@artotiainen5700]

do i need to take engine oils out before i change the sensor???

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

No the sensor is above the oil line.

hi fredintheshed1 is this the same location on a meriva 1.4 petrol ,it took me 3 days to find the obd thingy to plug in the fault finding machine it looks easy even im gonna try it,great video

Not really sure on the Meriva. The crank case sensor is going to be somewhere on the bottom of the engine block. The sensor itself and fitting is prob the same.

[@Mr-nt8mz]

Hi there I'd like to ask you something if I may, I have a ZAFIRA 2.2dti from 2003 and I have the same error you got so I bought a crankshaft sensor and plan on installing it tomorrow. But from my obd I also have an error "P0340 camshaft position sensor "A" circuit (bank 1 or single sensor)" I am hoping the injection pump is not dying because it's worth more than the car now. Do you think the second error could be caused by the 1st one? Thanks if you can help ;)

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Yes its possible if the crank sensor has failed it might upset the Cam sensor as the CPU will have no idea where the engine has stopped. I would install the crank sensor and reset the codes and see if the EM light comes back on. If you get the 340 code again then the cam sensor is also failing.

[@Mr-nt8mz]

fredintheshed1 Thanks ;) I'll go ahead with the crankshaft sensor and test drive. Hoping that will be it. Have a nice Easter weekend!

[@ThePhonecat]

hello mate, I have an Astra G which shuts off when it warm . Then struggles to start. it starts perfectly when cold. However I have got no codes showing?

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

+ThePhonecat Normally a crankshaft or camshaft sensor fail will store a code. Have you tried plugging in the scanner when the car wont start. Basic stuff also helps starting like a clean air filter etc.

[@ThePhonecat]

+fredintheshed1 I will give that a try thanks. I had the car serviced recently just to count that out. However I didn't change the fuel filter.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

+ThePhonecat A blocked fuel filter could cause the problem but you normally get fuel starvation under high load like pulling up a hill. Its a tough one without a stored code but I would think electrical first. best of luck.

[@0xABADCAFE]

Have you encountered an instance where the sensor is just impossible to pry out?

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

This one is was very tough. Of course the sensor is plastic and the block metal so it will always come out with force. You just need to be really careful that any broken parts do not fall inside the engine.

But engine cuts off randomly, and tickles while driving, and I also have the engine light on dashboard, but when engine cuts-off / or engine starts tickling RPM goes to 0 and stays there ,but next morning it is just normal... Im going to try this sensor, If this won't help I will look for different solutions.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

+Damian Balandowski If you do not have one buy a OBD2 code reader from ebay, best £20 your ever spend. Get the fault code and google it. Someone else would have the same problem and fixed it mate. Best of luck.

i have this fault on a 2004 meriva 1.7 cdti would it be in a similar position?

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

+outdoorlip1 Its going to be somewhere around the bottom of the engine as that is where the crankshaft is located. The sensor will prob look very similar. Also rem that a camshaft sensor can give the same symptoms.

[@CollosalTrollge]

I have an Opel Corsa B 1999 1.6 Sedan. It was made in South Africa though, i think it would be very similar to the UK models , i think. Then again when i tried to follow a haynes manual my friend loaned me before the pictures were completely different which was irritating. So unless you are mechanic its hard to follow. If you are a Mechanic then the practice and stuff is very similar and it would be easier to follow and understand the theory and practical i guess. My luck i live here, i tell you. I want to get an odbc reader but i dont know which one to get. I think and believe i do have a odbd2 port.? I have been having a mysterious starting issue with my car for a long time and my mechanic says i should just ignore it. I dont like the fact that you are wearing out your starter and even though it is charged when u drive i believe the battery also gets killed. Please help with any idea if you have? I have also got posts of my scenario of my crank starting issues which might be of more help in describing my scenario. The crank sensor, i have heard of this also. My car battles to cold start. It is a mystery though because it battles to start 5-7 seconds when i leave work at night .... it starts with no accelerator but its a bad idle and then 30 seconds the idle starts getting better. (first crack scenario 1a) When i leave home though every morning, the car seems to "want to start" better ... you can hear it almost catching....if i can say that ....but then i let go of the ley and it doesnt start. (first crank scenario 1x) IF i had to do that though whilst pressing accelerator in a 2000 rpm position.... then it starts fist time. (following first crank scenario 1a)...after i have tried to start it and it fails to "catch", I now turn the key again and it tries to start but it takes like 5-7 second before it start and i seem to NEED to press accelerator also. I have had this issue say for the last 2-3 years, with i can solve it. I am not a mechanic and not really a DIY person but i have bought jack stands and a jack(jack seems to be useless though since it doesnt raise the car enough and my (tyres/tires) seem to still touch the ground). I am willing to learn theory and do some stuff on my car. I have cleaned my ICV using carb cleaner and even soap and water and leaving it to dry in the sun, I have even tried a new ICV and then i managed to get a proper throttle body spray cleaner. I have also changed my Air In take pipe and the Air sensor it comes with. I have tried 3 sensors. I have tried to play with the ICV by unplugging it from the harness and my car idles erratically so it means it work? I have also tried to take out my MAP sensor plug and my car idles erratically so i guess it means it also works. Yeh anything to try and fix this and understand this stuff, it seems that cars are simple and yet they are complex so i dont know. I guess almost like being married. LEt me know if you have ideas,, thanks.?

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Intermittent faults are a nightmare so you have my sympathy. I was going to suggest the MAF sensor but you have covered that. You have a cam and crank sensor which can cause both issues. You need to get a obd reader. Also don't forget the key and imobiliser chip.

[@CollosalTrollge]

hmm not sure about key and the chip inside. When i used to service my car at the dealer before they once told me about my key and the chip inside nothing to do with a fault but they told me it was important. I dont think today i even know why. i mean my car is a 1999 car does it really matter , its surely old so i dont think we are talking abot technology like in the movie Gone In 60 Seconds,. I dont have an immobilizer. I will never buy one or even and alarm, im sure it just gives you head aches.

[@CollosalTrollge]

yeh so i one day unplugged my ICV while the car was idling or while i started it cant remember and i remember that the car didnt idle properly. Then i was experimenting and i tried the MAP sensor which on my car sits on the firewall in the middle of the car and it is connecting to the throttle body with one pipe. anyways i took it out and started the car , the car had erratic idling like high and then low and then high and then low....so i guess that part also works fine?

[@CollosalTrollge]

So then tell me, can you help me get the odbc scanner i need for my car please? i can also if you dont mind and if it okay with you ... you can maybe buy it for me and then send it to my work address in the UK ...i will pm u the details.... i can happily paypal u. A work colleague of mine is coming to South Africa in a few months time , he trying to sort out his visa which is why he is there now

[@CollosalTrollge]

I will probably have to send u video and pictures if you need so that you can see my odbc port and just have a general look at the car

+Kieron Carberry Nice one. Just take your time wiggling the old one out as you don't want any bits to fall inside the block. Best of luck mate.

we put crank sensor still not start

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Re-check the fault code. A faulty cam shaft sensor gives pretty much the same non start results.

[@lzh2382]

save ur £300 great job

[@teaCupkk]

A word of warning: if you get that code, DO NOT CLEAR IT before you change the sensor, or your engine won't start at all. Most other codes you can clear to see if they show up again, but not this one.

[@westmids98ez35]

What should you do if you’ve already reset the code after identifying the fault

[@teaCupkk]

I could find no solution, the ECU/engine refused to budge. Had to transport the car to an Opel service, where they magicked it back to life - it wasn't a large bill fortunately, but i don't know what the repair entailed, i didn't ask. Sorry i couldn't be of more help.

WTFF here in belgium opel asked me 500 EURO's to replace that thing on my opel astra h

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Wow 500 jeez.

[@pollyheenan4283]

@fredintheshed1 I live in somersert I'm going to attempt to do it my self😁as i just brought the part for 21.50 and I'm kinda broke 90 is a lot considering I could do it for free 😁

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Just take your time. The hard part is prising the sensor from the crank case. Just dont force it as the last thing you want is the sensor to snap or parts to drop inside the engine sump.

[@johncollins8304]

I CANNOT undo the bolt. Bought a set of torx but couldn't get it to go on square. There is something stopping it. Tried 8mm spanner. N.G. Tried long thin grips. N.G. Thinking the pigtail is blocking it, i tried uncliping but working blind. You removed the bolt with the clip in place... Ideas please!

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

I dont rem my bolt being too bad. Prising it out was tough though. Maybe some extra long spanners might help put more torque on the bolt. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165737722746?hash=item2696bcf37a:g:sKcAAOSwd7tjU-5p&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8P40SWZis7mQHM%2FmLlCstHBe1GMu77zLWAfMlmiKj7BUOnI4n41A965o2nNxP1VgBeg2DamBFyEU%2FdjpEHRaasWue5dGsRP%2FvTlU0nelcYKKwtWmPbvSk45OourYsEa98mgo3wzYKabStC5BlR%2BeV2fuYrbLfhTZEqwgV5sz7ZTlXaKv7BYeugPAiTXqHmVNqL%2FHS9gPSZ4KUwwxaSqYmAF0tCay11REOcE1JbVdDD6jHllQ9k75DnwDp8eaT35nOGRg0GYJvtv8%2BSrFAESeP3hGc9pm0741Sd7mr%2Fp8cAgnB5buY%2BliiMRyHo8VjxWv7g%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR5T85YafYg

@@CB-RADIO-UK Thank you for replying, and so quickly. I've had a look at the link which I'll bear in mind for the future. I wonder who has used them for what. In fact it's not leverage that's the problem, rather that I couldn't get anything to fit down over the head. But, I went and looked for another 8mm ring, and I think the ring was thinner. Anyway, it went over and fit with a little pressure and the bolt came free. Equally nice, with a long thin electronics screwdriver I got a foothold then pushed in a broad cup (??) car upholstery tool and it just levered up. (I say all this in case it helps s.o. else.) Thanks again.
