I was driving home tonight at around 55 mph when the car cut out and stopped. After about 10 mins it started and ran fault free for the next 12 miles home. It appears that something electrical overheated and when cooled down was ok. I know that there was similar problems with a relay on cavaliers, any pointers? I do not have access to a code reader for the 2.6 only 2.5
-
Look in the maintenance guide index under "Code Reading" for "pedal trick" to read codes on the 2.6
No code reader required with this method to get codes out .
Possible crank sensor IMO :-\ code is 0335 for that
-
Agree with Al,had this problem recently...sensor replaced,problem solved :y
-
Crank Sensor. :y
Part number: 90540743, approx. £56.00 + VAT

+1 - Crank Sensor fecked ;)
Read codes to confirm - although failed crank sensor does not always throw a code

Mine never threw any codes (two different code readers). Just knew by the symptoms!
-
Expect 0335 as said.
-
If it restarted and correctly ran OK, you may find code autodeleted.
Certainly sounds like cranksensor.
-
please use a gen vx part as pattern will fail in no time and you will swear lots. ;D

Thanks for the info, havn't had chance to look at the car today due to the rain, broke down again last night and I had to be recovered. I have ordered a genuine crank sensor which I should receive on Tuesday. Will inform result.

Not sure why you wouldn't check the codes first though...? :-\

I didn't get henceforth to check codes as I was at hospital post op check up and had to pass VX dealer on way. Checked codes this morning, 0420, 0430 & 0335. I'll pour a couple of bottles of Cataclean in which has cured this problem in the past. Thanks again everyone.D

Crank sensor fault :y
-
Ignore all other codes until the cs is changed.
-
Brian,
Re getting a CS from Dingro. The advice here, which I have followed after my CS failed, is to avoid early failure of a pattern CS and buy a genuine VX CS. :y
-
ok will do,have to wait till monday call around hopefully get one then,many thanks
-
so got new crank sensor delivered to garage from dealers £54 in total not bad i reckon and car back going hopefully better now :y
maddog21 care got fixed in garage 30 mins
-
glad its done :y :y should get another --spare--I know several v6 owners on here keep a spare handy-they go at anytime :'(
-
now then
so got new crank shaft sensor fitted and that has taken 0300 off but as low on fuel went to morrisons and put in some fuel although i am not sure can this be related ? i have now code 0330 knock sensor bank 1 fault, this i did have a while back but not recently but have been using shell fuel,so can this code be back due to cheaper fuel or maybe related to crank shaft sensor your thoughts would much be appreciated
-
Bought genuine cs from Evans Halshaw, main VX dealer and you guessed it, wrong part!!!!
