My day was going so well until...
I thought I would get a spare crank sensor (see my other thread)
The part on mine is definitely Bosch 0261210. That isn't either of the recognised V6 part numbers.

A search on EBay came up with this S/H item

At what point in the cars life did it get this?
It was one owner from new VX when we bought it and until I found OOF it was only ever in VX dealers for work. However OOfers with good memories will remember that despite being a Network Q car when we got it it had had bulbs e.g. EML taken out of the dash. So much for paying a bit more to buy an
original car . I wonder what else there is lurking?
Now ever since I joined the forum I have been convinced that the car is "gutless". It can pull a caravan but has no acceleration. Could this crank sensor be the reason?
I have cleaned it up as it was pretty manky looking at the end and thankfully the car still runs.
How do I go about please getting the right one for the car or should I not bother?
