I'm surprised you don't have the ECU light on.
That sensor and the TDC sensor are used to adjust the pump timing slightly.

Are you sure that's not the correct place for it, Citroen engines are normally numbered one to four from the crankshaft end.

For "crankshaft" read "flywheel".Gibbo2286 wrote:Are you sure that's not the correct place for it, Citroen engines are normally numbered one to four from the crankshaft end.

Re: what difference if any dose it make
Don't think it will matter - 2 and 3 rise together, so fire at the same crankshaft position - OK so it's half a camshaft turn out, but think it only monitors crank position. I think if you put it on 1 or 4 then it would confuse the ECU!!
