I'm so pleased that it helped Matt. I made the video to help others as it took me ages to work it out. Thanks so much for letting me know. You've absolutely made my day!
I've been trying for hours to start my van . With your video I had it running within a few minutes. The sensor was soaking wet with brake fluid and I only had to spray it with brake cleaner and it was working. Thanks
Had several days of intermittent misfiring followed by days of engine management lights and about five different faults reported by Diagbox. However Diagbox did not report a crankshaft senor fault. Local mechanic plugged in his generic scanner and the only fault was the crankshaft sensor. So he replaced it two days ago and all seems well at last. (fingers crossed) I'm puzzled why Diagbox did not identify this fault.
@@Bizz55 No diagnostic equipment ever identified mine as faulty. In desperation I kept changing sensors until the crankshaft sensor sorted the problem. I'm glad yours is sorted out. 😊
We have a miss on our pug 307 1.6hdi engine which i know each engines have little discrepancys between all the models. Its a 57 plate 1.6hdi 307 and has had a miss for yrs but it would be one quick one and it was gone and didnt happen for ages in between it happening but now its doing it alot more, plus today the car wouldnt start twice which its never failed to do in 6 yrs. It dont get used much apart from it getting a good run to blow the shit out of the turbo. I have a computer which like they use in the garage, its got obd2 part but it can reprogram injector coding, oil reset, dpe regeneration and reset, doors you name it it will check the system. A injector one popped up awhile ago but was reset with our m8s obd2 and he reset the code so the light went off. It can read each injector while the cars running so could it tell in theres one under performing ? Plus where the injectors are theres like water with some black shit around it. I was told in one of the videos that if that happens its from the copper seal or ring at the bottom of the injector which can also blow the turbo. Much help or information woukd be really grateful to say the least.
I have a 2007 van version of this motor, and I have a similar problem especially at low revs. The engine runs fine for days on end then it suddenly cuts out. Its very annoying as it tends to cut out at the worst possible time after taking off from junctions ect which means I have to endure the wrath of other motorist when stalling the middle of roundabouts!😡 After a cut out the engine fires up right away. I don't have any problems at cruising speed apart from a occasional brief misfire. The engine runs fine between stalls and starts normally in the mornings. Ill order my sensor today and make it my weekend project.
Thanks for the video, exactly what mine is doing, I've located the sensor but can't get the old one out, any advice. Doesn't seem to just pull out the belt wheel seems to be causing an obstruction. Thanks Is there a gap in the wheel that needs to aligned for removal ?
Hi , i have the same car with same engine , sometimes when i put it neutral for slow for lights or something else rpm idle goes below idle and makes sounds about to stall and vibration , but it doesnt stall . It doesnt make it everytime , sometimes but it happens especially in till get hot when temp is cold . Our mechanic said if it doesnt stall it doesnt big deal and it maybe idle sensor said . Do you have any idea or suggest ? Thanks .
Hi, I have removed the nut and cable as you said in the video but the sensor still seems stuck in and I can’t get it out. Is there a method to getting it out or anything else to undo? Thanks
There are lots of mentions of error codes in car fix videos … is there a reasonably priced bit of diagnostic kit I can buy ? I have an 07 Berlingo 1.6hdi … many thanks ..
I'm not sure of the best one. I've tried loads (borrowed them from mates) but none of them picked up this problem or diagnosed the fix. It was trial and error until I found the correct sensor.
I have the same engine on a Ford focus 1.6 tdci and when cold start the engine its like it misfires , i put new injectores on it and still the same problem, black smoke desapears after i changed the injectores but on cold start it still wiggles and misfires, is this the crackshaft sensor too?
I honestly don't know but for the cost of the new unit, and the short time it takes to fit it, it has got to be worth eliminating. Let me know how you get on.
@@Emanuel69martins No... that's different. Mine was completely random. Hot, cold.... it made no difference. It might do it 3 times in a minute and then nothing for 3 hours driving. Completely random.
I am having this problem on my 07 Berlingo 1.6 hdi … I am no mechanic but is the camshaft sensor and crankshaft sensor the same thing ? Googling stalling symptoms brings up both ? Thanks
Did this only misfire on you or did it like cut out on you ? My van just cuts out randomly and comes back instantly almost kangrooing down the main road
Took me 2 minutes to fix my car after watching this. Your a legend thanks

I'm really pleased that it helped you.😊 ❤
Many thanks. Very helpful hints for diagnosis on my fathers 2006 Partner.
I have the same car with this issue for two years. Now its gotten really bad. I'll try changing this sensor. Thanns
let me know how you get on.. 😊
Great video and thank you for the advice on that problem. WIll keep it in the memory bank for future reference👍
Well, it's a very basic video but hopefully it will help others avoid the process I went through to discover the fault.
@@stefanm67 Exactly! Simple but helpful.
Thanks for this. Having a similar random misfiring issue. I will mention this to my mechanic next week.
Good luck!

Doesn't seem to just pull out the belt wheel seems to be causing an obstruction.

Is there a gap in the wheel that needs to aligned for removal ?
No..... it will come out. It just needs a bit of a wiggle.....

I'm really sorry but I don't know rhe answer to your problem. 😒. I would start with the idle sensor though. Good luck.
Hi, I have removed the nut and cable as you said in the video but the sensor still seems stuck in and I can’t get it out. Is there a method to getting it out or anything else to undo? Thanks
No Oliver..... it must just be stuck. Give it a wiggle and it should come out.

By the way, when the engine is hot the wiggle and misfire desapears and engine runs fine, and no fault codes.

No Dave... this is the Crank sensor.
Look at this video for the camshaft one. czcams.com/video/rOyU7iyYWjE/video.html good luck.
Many thanks ,, 👍
hi,i have missfires at all 4 cylinders can be that a sensor cause?
Sorry.... I do not know.
Did this only misfire on you or did it like cut out on you ? My van just cuts out randomly and comes back instantly almost kangrooing down the main road
No... it never once cut out completely. It just missed randomly.
@@stefanm67 thanks dude
Would this be located in the same place as a 2017 partner van? I can’t find anything on new models
I'm sorry Saleem but I don't know.
Thanks mate will try this on the son in laws belingo
Nice one. Let me know how you get on.
Can this be problem for hicups in driving
It was for me....
i think on those hicups where car acts like he shakes or wants to stop , its a bit unpleasant @@stefanm67
