CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSORS FOR YOUR DAILY DRIVER
Aug 8th
It’s happened to all of us: a simple task such as unclipping the connector from the crankshaft position sensor becomes complicated when the connector breaks on removal! The plastic is affected by heat and the older the connector the more brittle it becomes. Then you contact the dealer only to find that they won’t sell you a connector on its own – you have to buy the whole connector and the associated wiring spur. Sounds expensive
If you’re looking for a connector for the Ford EcoBlue engine or JLR 2.0 litre diesel engines, forget the dealer, contact your Connect Workshop Consumables More >
