I've got omega 2.0 t reg auto

where is the crank shaft sensor located?

Near the A/C compressor. Where the dipstick tube enters the block, feel forward app. 50mm and you`ll reach the torx bolt that secures it

There is an excellent guide in the Maintenance section covering Cranshaft sensor replacement.

Just make sure yiou use a genuine VX part as replacement (the cheaper OEM alternative parts are subject to premature failure !). Make sure you route the cabling away from heat sources and hot pipes.

Also do make sure you get the right part (electrical connector head is different as some are rectangular and some are more oval rounded edge shaped).

Good luck.

oops...apologies, the information I posted was in relation to 2.5 engine and not your 2.0 engine.

omega2012 · « **Reply #9 on:** 11 January 2012, 14:36:28 »

yes ive found the guide for the 2.5 wasnt sure if it would be the same or not. as it stands i have failed in replacing it so far.. i cant even find it!!

Remove the heatshield from over the exhaust, for easier
access. Run your hand down the oil dipstick tube until you meet it's
entry point into the crankcase. Feel forward about 2" in front of the dipstick tube,
towards the front of the engine, and you will be able to feel the crank sensor.
With A/C might be easier to remove aux belt, unbolt A/C comp & PAS pump & move away for better access
