i recently change the water pump on my TT, and at the same time decided to change the timing belt, just being nosey i took of the crank angle sensor, refitted it but when i started her up it was running on 4 cylinders then cleared and started running on all 6. i have rechecked the timing belt and they are spot on but every now and then she runs on 4 cylinders.

 

can some one tell me if there is a set procedure for fitting the crank sensor and checking thestrobe timing please

 

regards bigmo

Really should have marked it before removal mate!-but if it runs your not a mile off! Still need a strobe tho' to set correctly and to be honest sounds more like the connector than timing,very common.

I had this recently. When i plugged in Conzults. It came up with an error "crank sensor error" upon close in spection found the connector that plugs the cranks sensor is a tight fit, and hadn't plugged in completely. i then pushed it on with a light tap hammer and extension bar. Now all OK.
