How do you know there is something wrong with the Crankshaft Position Sensor?

When the 'Check Engine' light on your dashboard is on. When the engine won't start or cuts out during operation. When the engine misfires. When the engine runs rough (a rough idle for example). When the car's fuel consumption is higher than usual.

When should you replace a Crankshaft Position Sensor?

As the sensor is located inside the crankcase it is especially prone to deterioration. It can be affected by oil or the significant temperature fluctuations inside the engine. The sensor can, eventually, fail completely, meaning that the engine's ECU is not provided with the information to optimise the combustion process. In turn this can lead to the fuel injection malfunctioning, preventing the appropriate amount of fuel to reach the engine to combust. It can lead the engine to misfire and run rough as well as cutting out or not starting at all. All leading to higher fuel consumption. For optimal combustion cycles in the engine it is therefore important to service the crankshaft position sensor as and when stipulated in the guidelines set out by your car's manufacturer. Professional and timely maintenance is essential to prevent further damage of other parts of the engine. Should you experience problems with a crankshaft position sensor, then it is advisable to have it inspected and, if necessary, have the sensor replaced.

“Very happy with the service and finding Williamson Bros garage as a garage I can trust to maintain my car. The work I required was a crankshaft rear oil seal, having just bought my second hand car 4 months ago from a local AA approved garage. The AA looked into the repair and say it is expected wear and tear for an older vehicle of ten years and so I was left to pay for the repair. myself. The garage I bought the car from said they would repair it at a trade price of £300 plus but I didn't want to use the garage who had sold me the motor for the repair and so looked online at how much it was going to cost me to repair it elsewhere and found the repair cheaper through ClickMechanic at £273.50 plus vat.

Paul the owner of Williamson Bros personally collected my car for me from my home - which I found a bonus to the service. Paul offered to price a replacement clutch for me to the it is likely to be contaminated with oil and this would NOT cost me any extra labour. Paul let me know that day the work that had been carried out to my car in an sms message and when he returned my car to me the next day at home, he had the invoice for the clutch . I was also shown photos of the parts replaced, which was useful for me, including the worn parts removed. This I appreciated. Williamson Bros have gained a customer as I will now be having my MOT carried out there in two months time. Thank you to all at Williamson Bros”
