Title: crank sensor
Post by: annihilator on 18 September 2015, 19:55:09: Just had a non genuine crankshaft sensor fail after only 18 months with less than 1500 miles covered. >:( However it had a 2yr. warranty so got a free replacement 8) and will probably buy a genuine one and keep the non gen. as a spare.

However, are you sure it was rooted well enough away from the exhaust?
