where/how to get to the crank shaft sensor

[nazzurro19]

Where is the sensor according to google its front right hand side , i cant see it for ....

Anyone got a decent quality guide/pic

 

[slinky2000]

On a 1*2 it's under the air box above the gearbox. This is what it looks like new.

You'll have to replace the plug and switch with the replacement.

 

[nazzurro19]

I was hoping to take it off and clean it in the hope the car starts

 

[nazzurro19]

Do i need to remove all the airbox n gubbins to get to it because its very tight/fiddly

 

[Zeitgeist0190]

it'll be in the exact same spot as is described here I think.
Pictures included.

Yep, whip the airbox out and it's under the thermostat housing. Where the box meets the block.

The car will start but I find after a while the fault happens again. The best practice is to just replace the sensor and connector.

If you really don't want to replace it then bend the pins slightly to help make a better contact and spray both parts with contact cleaner.

 

[slinky2000]

If you just want to chean it, remove the airbox (2 bolts) and unclip the plug. Simple

 

[nazzurro19]

Ill clean it if car runs then ill buy uprated one

 

[nazzurro19]

Am i close yet cause i cant see it for s**t

 

[nazzurro19]

Right i cant find this stupid thing is this sposed to be it?

ive checked everywhere physically possible, its not an easy 10 min job and every guide/pic online is for laguna which is blatently not the same im seriously so fed up now

why is there no pics/guides for a clio

Theres so many stupid pipes etc in the way aswell

is this the thermo housin?

cause if so all thats under there is the first pic, which according to online is where my sensor should be

[mad in general]

I can't help you but I'm wondering if the other posters are aware your car is a dci or not?

 

[nazzurro19]

​hmm this is so hard

 

[nazzurro19]

Seriously noone can show me where it is

 

[nazzurro19]

Where is the plug

 

[mad in general]

Don't know if its the same engine it not in the Laguna. Obviously if it is I would assume you could follow that guide.

 

[Feates172]

This is its location on a 172



See the two 10mm bolts in between the tb and coolant hose.

 

[mad in general]

This guy does not have a 172. He is asking for a dci !

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

See the green clamp on the coolant pipe, under the brake vac pump, under that you will find it. Probs have to move a few things to see it covered in crap

need to upload my pic to show you but I can't yet

 

[AdDaMan]

Lol all the replies were for a 2.0/1.8...

 

[nazzurro19]

Im so frustrated where the f**k is this stupid connector 4 days now!! 4 days ive wasted looking for it

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

PM tonka truck on here , he has a 100 so it's probably easier to see on his than my 80

its defo under the coolant thermo housing.

Its hard to miss with a wire(s) coming off it

 

[nazzurro19]

This is whats under my thermo housing

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

WTF where's it been moved !!

On mine , that corrugated plastic loom has another little bit come off it in that area for the TDC sensor

 

[nazzurro19]

Im seriously at my witts end ive tried every locAtion anyone has said :'(

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

finnally managed to upload it. this was take from looking from infront of the engine, looking through all the pipes to under the thermo housing.

 

[nazzurro19]

Wow i wish mine was that feckin easy geeze woulda saved me 3 dAys haha

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

I'm still thinking yours will be in the same place after speaking to a mate with a 100 and the same year as yours

 

[nazzurro19]

Nope 1000000000% its not there

 

[nazzurro19]

Is this it have i find it, am i the first on the whole forum to know where the tdc sensor is on a dci 100

 

[nazzurro19]

Wow that was so easy to get to from underneath the car took 20 seconds

cant believe no1 on this forum knew where it was
