TDC Sensor

[Beef-Mc]

Few questions as I know people in here have had problems with theirs.

1. What is it and what does it do?

and

2. Where about is it located?

Cheers

It's there to tell the injector to when the piston is tdc to allow the injector to inject the fuel to start the car. Ifs it away the car will be hard to start.

Its in around the cam belt somewhere have never looked.

 

[renaultman]

it tells the injection comp what position the crank is in (tdc)there is a mark on the fly wheel which it reads and to make sure the crank is in line with cams . if the sensor gose faulty the car will not start

its on top of the gear box held on buy 2 10mm bolts

What are the signs that it has gone? Easy job to replace it?

 

[renaultman]

very easy unless its a auto bit more tricky . the car will not start it will spin but not fire .

 

[renaultman]

the new tdc sensor is modified there is key ways on the conector so dose not fit . but all you have to do is cut them off with a knife ( the conector on th car ) very easy to do . done loads

 

[Beef-Mc]

It's a manual so thats not too bad then.

Sounds like the problem I'm having with mine then.

 

[philthy]

takes 2 minutes to fix, sometimes it just needs cleaned to fix it.

 

[renaultman]

if it a Maggie its very easy .. the best one to do . like i say its modified so if you get a sensor you dont need the wire they might sell you that cost more than the tdc sensor lol

When mine was faulty I had so many problems you wouldnt beleve. Would start sometimes, cutting out while driving, piss poor performance, wouldnt rev.

Had it replaced and been great for the last 6 months

SOunds like my problem them, the cars a clio btw, it's jus what I call her

Would a problem with the TDC result in needing the car to be jump started as this is becoming a common thing on my car!

get the loom aswell, it has resistors on it IIRC and as such if you connect it without it you wont be getting the correct resistance reading

 

[Beef-Mc]

Anyone else have anything add?

 

[franx]

bloody french cars and their failing s**t sensors !!!!!!!!!!

that's all for now really

Yeah ignore the above comments about cutting the sensor, replace the loom aswell.

 

[Beef-Mc]

What sorta price am I looking at to replace the sensor and the loom?

 

[philthy]

my tdc sensor has been cut and replaced with the new one

 

[renaultman]

it dose not matter if you dont get the loom . the loom is just a standerd wire with a diffrent key way on it

bloody french cars and their failing s**t sensors !!!!!!!!!!

that's all for now really

The sensors are german

I got a new sensor for mine the other day and for the tdc sensor and wiring section it cost me £34 from renault but I found out this morning that the plug they supplied doesn't fit the sensor they supplied. D'OH! For the sake of soldering 2 wires i'll probably replace the loom (when they give me the right one lol) too but thats just the way we do things.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Doesn't seem like too bad a price considering Renault likes :rasp:

Anyone got a pic of where it is excactly, just so I don't go hacking at the wrong thing

 

[BRUN]

its on the top of the gearbox near where it bolts to the block, you cant miss it
