OK, well that turned my knowledge of the V6 Upside down.. i thought it was, the one at the bottom of the block, at the front, below the lower pulley...  :-?
What is that one then - I assumed it was there, as it's near the CRANK, not the CAM..... :)

Cheers.

The one with the wire coming out towards the front? That's the oil pressure switch.

Mines been playing up for a while, but different syptoms !

Sometimes car will crank a few times before firing, but little engine electrics light comes on !
Turn car off, re sart and its fine !
Car will always start, and even exceed 3000rpm, with light on , so from what i have been told the car isnt in limp mode !

This fault only occurs at random intervals, as i'm not in a hurry to replace the crank sensor, after Taxi Drivers description of its removal etc ! on a 2.2


So woulld anyone like to diagnose these sypmtoms on my 2.2 ! I was told before it might be crank sensor too, but the symptoms are slightly different !

According to my sources (well I looked it up on the Internet...) the Crank Sensor for the 3.0L was different than that of the 2.5L, but it is the same one later used on both the 2.6L and 3.2L.

Crank Sensor 2.6/3.0/3.2 Vx P/N 90540743:



Crank Sensor 2.5 Vx P/N 90492006:



Though strangely they both look the same....
the only (slight) difference I can spot is that the top one appears to have rounded corners on the plug whereas the lower one the edges are pretty much square. Not a huge difference! Maybe the pin assignment is slightly different too ???

If you are getting EML on, you should be able to get the codes read, which would be a real clue ;)

I know Jamie !

Just that i'm such a lazy git , erghhhhhh mean i'm so busy, i havent managed to get time to come over to you as you live soooooooooo far away in Brackly  LLOLL

Perhaps after Xmas then !

I was toying with the idea of having Cruise fitted too, kill two birds with one stone as it were !

Which stalk am i looking for off of EBay !! Left or right as i am sure i have seen both with exta buttons !

Also as i have a face lift i presume i have to have a stalk ( which ever one ) taken from a face lift donor car !!

Stalk, I would buy new, around £30 +VAT.  If you get 2nd hand, ensure its the 4 wire one, not the 2 wire one for 2.5TD

If its an auto, it will have right switches on your facelift 2.2.  If its an auto, you'll need to look - you'll see the brake switch, clutch should have a similar switch which clips into the metalwork around it...

Being a manual, your saying if there fitted the swicths will be obvious !
How far up the pedal will they be, above that silly foam filled panel i suppose !!!

yes, remove the card/foam panel.  Look up and you will see brake one just below where pedal pivots.

This is what you should see under the foam sheet when its removed.

Heres the 4 pin brake switch in position



and the clutch switch.



Hope this helps
