... Cam sensor failure, on 4 cylinder VX engines? I notice that the XE engines suffer especially, - yet it's almost unheard of, with the V6!
I removed a "failed" (according to ECU) camsensor from a 1.8 S reg Veccy on Sunday - the cable itself looked fine.
So given that it's a hall sensor - what actually "fails"?
I'm sure there's a totally normal explanation, I'm just curious!!

..pass, i have even tried checking the resistance between the pins on a shown bad one and a good one. Only a few ohm's difference between them. Should we ask for a research budget from the government to investigate, or a lootery hand out? (intended misspelling) ;D ;D

When I disected the one TD sent me, it had a failed surface mount cap in it....a cermaic one which might well have simply failed due to the vibrations.

Could it not be resurrected by re gluing with sat Araldite?

No chance.....you needed a dremmel just to get at it!
It was soldered to a small PCB so could have been swapped.
