Did you snap the pipe or the cam cover.....

If just the pipe, can you cut the knackeed bit off and still get it to reach.

Yes it is needed, the small one allows the crank case to breath at idle and the large one when throttle is open.

To change the cam sensor, you need to pop the cam cover off and remove the black ecotec strip from the cam cover.

In between the two cam sprockets you will see a bolt, remove this, the cam sensor can then be pulled up through the cam cover....

The bolt between cams sprockets is high up, not the 'spacer' below. I've seen someone do this one by mistake, haven't I Tunnie ;)

Get a torx rail mate, cheap enough at machine mart, and will prevent you rounding off any bolt heads..

My comment was aimed at JamesV6CDX who still has my torx rail from January  :o  ;D

They are cheap enough, treat yourself, as they are used all over modern cars....
