Blue Plug Crank Shaft Sensor in a Ph1 172

[KitsonRis]

Need to get a new crank shaft sensor as I think this is causing the starting and cutting out issues on my Ph1 172, or at least the first thing I am changing.

Was going to get this sensor 8200647554 and the updated loom 8200673202
Now this is the updated sensor and loom - will this fit my Ph1? The description on the loom says no, but isn't that because the connector on the new sensor is different?

The next question is how simple is it to fit the new loom? Cut off the old one and solder and heat shink the wires together? From the picture on the item the loom wires are not handed so they can go any way around?

Unless I have got this all wrong and need a different one for a Ph1.

100% it will fit .
New plug has pins A & B
Match the old plug wires A & B
Temp join the new plug to the OE loom and see if she fires up , if she does she’s golden to solder [emoji1303]

Sensor and loom has just turned up so will be fitting this on Sunday when I get a chance. Will try that trick before soldering it together. Hope it isn't a pain to get to solder to as I remember when I had my old Ph1 I took the old one off and cleaned it up and it was a faff to get at.

Put the new plug and loom on. Got it the wrong way round to start with (which was always going to happen). Fires up first time.
For reference if anyone searches this in the future this is the way the wires go:

Pink (new loom) to orange (car)
Yellow (new loom) to white (car)

was a genuine Renault sensor and loom I used.
