[logan2769]

Hi all ,I have been having a issues with the engine cutting out when giving it some beans ( and i dont mean baked!) also sometimes i have noticed the rpm and speedo gauge return to zero and have had a oil pressure warning flash up on the maxi dot display,lift off and all returns to normal apart from speedo,rpm,oil pressure warning ,swicth the car off then on again and its all ok.

Its thrown up a fault ...........

Its pointing towards the engine speed sensor (crank sensor) which I have found out is near the oil filter housing ,Has anyone had this issue ? how easy is it to replace the sensor ? and can you do it without removing the housing ?

Thanks for looking.

This is the Ross-Tech Wiki entry for that fault code.

Thanks DGW i have looked at this as well ,most websites that quote the fault code always seems to be related to Diesels ,I haven't found 1 yet that mentioned a petrol engine ,

Can someone shed some light on how easy this sensor is to fit ,I have been quoted £250 for this job to be done ,If it not to hard having to work under the car then I will have a go myself.

Hi all ,

Just a follow up in-case any of you have a similar  problem,

Crank sensor replaced car now running well,the part cost £111.00 at TPS and i got it fitted for £66 ,If you go to a garage and they tell you you need to take the oil filter housing off then shop else where .

the first quote i got was £250 plus vat (that included the part ,works out they wanted £150 for the sensor !!) so it pays to shop around .

You could fit this yourself if you have access to a car ramp ,I had a go of normal ramps and you don't have enough ground clearance for £66 it's a no brainer.

This is the wrong procedure for a TFSI  :think:
