Title: Crank sensor
Post by: Crazydad on 10 September 2007, 19:04:22
Just a little question for someone who has no clue,

How long is the cable on the crank sensor normally,

 i have bought one and intend to fit tomorrow, just that the wire with the connector at the end of it seems to

be so short,any advice??

Not very long, having a guess looking at the one in my boot I would say about 50cm

Hello

Sorry for the delay, no haven't got to do mine but after a series of posts on here not so long ago where people were getting stranded because of the Crank Sensor failing I decided to keep a spare in the boot!!

Sir Golfbuddy.........got to get used to that ;D ;D

It would be a damn site easier to get it done at work, and yes they would do it,we have 2 very good electricians here,

the only thing is i would like to do these "easy" things myself.

Call me silly if you want but after the rush i felt after doing the Fuel filter, i want to get it again........Silly eh?

Oh and by the way i have allready forgot how to get here again. ;D ;D ;D
