John, pop up or PM your VIN so I can determine which variant of the DV6 engine you have.

No matter, it's the same sensor and in the same position - number 7 in the diagram:

Thanks for the fast reply. It's really appreciated

Where can I download these images from...?

[GiveMeABreak]

This is just the parts diagrams from PSA. I’ve just screen shot them for you, they are not downloadable.

Hi. How do I actually get to the sensor,??

I suspect it's not as easy as Haynes makes out.... That is going to be well buried under the scuttle, and is on the back of the engine. The Cit manual suggests putting a 9.5mm drill between the sensor and the timing belt cover, which probably removes the need to take the timing covers off (which requires removal of the engine mount IIRC....). What makes you think it needs a new sensor? It's only used at start up to check the synch of the cam and crank AFAIK....

Words right out of my mouth!
Never had to change one on a HDI, so somewhat surprised at this one!
