Camshaft sensor

prits_uk2002 · 8th October 2018, 21:20

Hi does anyone have a part number for this item it's the sensor that sits next to the oil filler cap and held in by a 8mm bolt. I believe there are 2 variants. My vehical is a mg zt 190+ petrol v6 2001 the wire is hard wired to the sensor you cannot disconnect the sensor side wiring. Please if anyone can assist I would be grateful thank you

Thanks however on mines the wire that is at the sensor side is not on a connector it's not removable from the sensor side just the other end unfortunately anyone else able to shed some light on this thx

The earlier camshaft sensors had an integral lead.
The ones supplied now have a separate link lead.

You just need to fit the new sensor, with the lead, and plug it in at the other end.

It should hopefully arrive tomorrow to get to the other end of the sensor do u need to remove any hoses and any other items for access the again

You just have to remove the engine cover.

It is a straight forward install.
The sensor is adjacent to the oil filler cap (about 2 o'clock ) and is secured by one bolt. It is 8mm IIRC.

The link lead just clips in.
One end to the new sensor, and the other end to where the old one came out.
