Omega General Help / Re: Code 0335-crank sensor

« on: 28 April 2011, 16:03:19 »

Looks like I have been sent the wrong sensor, the one sent to me is part number 90492006, this has the more rectangular connector whereas it appears I need 90492061, which has the more oval type connector, hence me not finding the connector under my bonnet!

Cheers Neil, tried pulling the 'old' lead but it is that tightly fitted the top part wont move, it wasnt this difficult on the old 2.5, my knuckles are bleeding heavily now! Back out again now it has to be there somewhere??

Guys,

Urgent help required, got the new crankshft sensor, undone the connector near to the oil filter no problems,
cannot find the other end in the engine compartment to plug the lead into, any ideas, currently up to my arms in bits trying to locate it, loads of differing connectors dont know which one I need to connect my lead to?? :-? :-?

Thanks for that, as mentioned happy with the lower fitting which bolts on near to the oil filter using a torx screw, just wanting to know exactly where the plug in connector is in the engine bay, the old 2.5 one was at the rear of the engine high up under the scuttle, just wondering if anybody knows where under the bonnet the new crank sensor plugs in on the 2.6, is it the same at the rear of the engine?

Cheers for the help so far guys, one last question hopefully, reasonably happy of locating the lower connector near the oil filter, thanks Neil, having second thoughts on the position of the connector in the engine bay, Haynes for my pre-facelift stated the connector is right at the back of the engine, but says for later models it is in the front, can anybody confirm its whereabouts on a 2001 2.6? Just so I get the right one when the new one arrives hopefully tomorrow.

Cheers

And finally...........

New Vauxhall crankshaft sensor ordered, should be here tomorrow, car has now given up the ghost and wont start, the sensor has obviously been breaking down for a while.

Will run the new one around the engine and clip it away from the heat.

Final question, on my 2.6 where is either end of the sensor lead located, think I have found the top one, just right of the front end of the top of the engine? Where exactly is the lower connector, my old 2.5 one I replaced before was somewhere near the oil filter if I recall, any clues please?  :-?

Cheers for the lightning fast response Albs,

So for peace of mind before I buy, and to clarify, I am getting the code 0335 from the pedal test which according to the list is,

P0335 CrankshaftPosition sensor "A" circuit malfunction

So the code definitely means that a new crankshft sensor is the answer to my fault?

Omega General Help / Code 0335-crank sensor

« on: 27 April 2011, 09:05:29 »

Colleagues,

Had an Omega for 10 years , but recently purchased a 2001 2.6 Auto to replace my 12 year old 2.5 manual.

Symptoms are that on three occasions recently went to start the car, engine spins but wont fire, then after either waiting or just keep spinning the engine she fires into life, then runs fine.
Pedal test (only just discovered, old car was paperclip!) shows 0335, which shows crank sensor? 99% sure I had this on my old 2.5 about 8 years ago and just replced the crank sensor leads by cutting the old one top and bottom and leaving it it in situ then just ran the old one down the side of the engine to clear the poor starting problem. No other fault codes showing.

Does this sound like a plan? Can I just do the same with the 2.6, ie new sensor (any idea of supplier?) then just connect the new one top and bottom after running the lead through what little space there is?

Thanks in advance.

Steve.

Hello,
Why after being the owner of an Omega for the past 9 years have I only just found this site? Careless.....

Just got rid of my 99 CDX 2.5 after 9 years of almost trouble free motoring, however she decided she was going to start costing me money so..........

Now have a 2001 2.6 CD to run around in, only 48000 miles and in great shape, unlike me.

Only problems are the passenger seat height motor isnt working yet, but having read up on the problem on this site will try and sort tomorrow. Also need to source the black plastic surround for the drivers door mirror, the main casing and glass are ok, but the black plastic has been split, but those are the only problems. May look at retro fitting one or two luxuries, which I miss from the CDX  This site is amazing as an Omega Library, cheers guys.

Live in North Wales, drive my Omega and ride a VFR 800.
