C4 VTS Crankshaft sensor

[Tommy]

Many thanks for your help Richard.

Diagbox gives me ;

P0336 - Engine speed sensor signal - permanent (From "local", permanent fault, not characterised)
U2000 - Main wake-up fault - intermittent (From "Distant, not characterised)
P1693 - Controlled engine starting and stopping anomaly (From "Local", intermittent fault, not characterised)

The last two could be me messing with battery connections last night while awaiting recovery. The car went into eco-mode and I needed to charge my phone in case Green Flag tried to ring me. Quickest way, as I couldn't start the engine was to disconnect the battery. Naughty me was too annoyed, and didn't have time to do the BSI reset procedure.

The VIN is VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

The crank sensor that was removed last week was definitely faulty as it was physically damaged. This one? I don't know. I may remove it this afternoon and check, but there's much dismantling to be done..

I wouldn't be changing the fuse box on a whim....

Suspect your new sensor is kaput - if the original one was damaged I wonder if the new one is too - either the wrong one fitted, or the wrong flywheel has been fitted when the clutch was done and it's chewing the sensor up (or there's supposed to be a spacer ring and it's gone AWOL!)

Your VIN shows 1920EN for the crank sensor, only £13.79 from the dealer.

Many thanks Richard.

It's being recovered back to the place that did the clutch tomorrow. The chap thinks there is a spacer missing too, though none shows on the parts diagram.

It was debris left in the bellhousing from the last clutch job , most likely a clutch cover finger or two, being spun around inside and smashing sensors up.
