The crank sensor wont show an error on VAGCOM.

Also, pulse the relay with a 12v source and then hold the power on it to see if there is any 'chatter'. That will tell you whether is duff or not.

 

As its a cheap item i would replace it for peace of mind. For such a small device it is incredibly influential on smooth running!

Check relays are seated well in the fuse tray by bending the blade contacts out a little, worked for mine

I realise it was a while back now but did you get sorted?, I have the same problem with mine since the heater matrix blew

I took mine out yesterday, wasn't too bad but I havnt put it back yet!, have aloof at this (if it works), its a good guide for a left hand drive but its more or less the same as far as I can see

I've just had a proper read of it and its not the way I've done it, I didn't take the dash out, but the pictures will give you a better idea as to where the screws are

Yeah I'd prefer a new one but if anyone's got a good metal one on the cheap I'd be happy with that, are the valeo ones all metal?, it's only the plastic part that's gone on mine

Anyone got a heater matrix for 93 vr6?, I'm looking for the type with metal pipes rather than the plastic ones

Cheers

Come today cheers chaos3oe!, worked straight away!, thank ***k for that!

Yeah I've tested it, and get open circuit, and it's the only thing that won't clear on diagnostic, I'm not convinced though that's why I only want to try a cheap one, I see you got about 500 ohms on yours, I even tried a different meter!

I need a crank sensor for my 93plate vr6,

If anyone has one give me a shout

Thanks

Do you have a crank sensor for obd2 vr6?

I could be interested mate but price is too high. I was talking to a chap who had a set on eBay with Toyo proxies and he only wanted £100. I was going to have them but he wouldn't post and I didn't want to trek to Cambridgeshire :(

 

If you find you can't shift them at £200 and want to talk in the 100-150 region then let me know!

i have a set in gateshead for £100, probly need a refurb and i think 2 of the tyres need replacing,come and have a look if you like?

do you still have the crank sensor?

It wasn't running but it was cranking for 20-30 seconds which the diagnostic told us to do and then confirmed that was only fault, I got a new sensor from eurocarparts and took the faulty one off but when I compared them the plug was slightly bigger so I took that back and ordered another from someone breaking a car on eBay and ordered an ignition switch at same time

The ignition switch came so I swapped that and tried it,but it didn't start(forgot I took the sensor off!)

Put the sensor back on and tried it and it started straight away ticked over for 15-20 mins, then I switched off and started again a couple of times cranked a bit more than usuall but still started, drove round the block seemed ok

Tried to start next day and back to square one, cranks with no start!

I'm having same trouble with my 93 vr6, how much do you want for the sensor robrado974?, I've had snap on diagnostic on, which first showed a lot of faults which all cleared apart from crank sensor, I've put a meter on pins 1-2 and have open circuit, I've read it should be 500-1000 ohms, where is the ecu?

thenks for your help i'll check with my mech tomorow to make sure its the sme thing

the brake limiter valve has died on my vr6 l reg,does anyone know of a replacement or does it have to come from a vr6? many thanks
