Title: Crank sensor and oil in plug bores.
Post by: AndysCD on 31 January 2012, 13:05:24: HI
just had a few jobs to do on my 2.0 Omega, 1 of them was the crank sensor....Following Haynes method sounds like a major job. So i cut down an old 8mm spanner and used the ring end to loosen the torx nut...was a decent enough fit to slacken it. Removed the dipstick tube first and created just enough room to get in. In all took bout 1/2 hour to do.
The other job was cleaning out old engine oil from plug bores, rocker gasket was totally goosed. replaced with OE part, new plugs and changed leads as they were soaked in oil and had gone quite brittle!...Runs a hell of a lot better now.
