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

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 Volvo 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.

What happens during a Crankshaft Position Sensor replacement on my Volvo?

Mobile mechanic in South Derbyshire, 50 years of experience

John owns and runs Premier Vehicle Services. Prior to that began his mechanic career with an apprenticeship in 1970 with a garage in Repton and spent a number of years there before moving on. He worked with ...

“John was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was the first time my Volvo has had the engine apart and I needed someone I could rely on being a frontline carer and needing my car repaired. It was a much harder job than first anticipated and John worked tirelessly under all extremes of weather, with a mix of thunderstorms and 30 degree heat, he declined to take any additional payment for labour despite being told he should as he worked damn hard. He was fully prepared and declined all nutrition and hydration as he had bought his own and even worked on Sunday (Father’s Day) until approximately 8pm efficiently. I can’t thank John enough for his kindness and explaining everything so I was able to understand and make fully informed choices.”
