Nemo Van Camshaft Sensor Location

Unread post by pipkin51 »

Hi

My 63 Plate Nemo Van has thrown up a P0340 code which I belive is a camshaft sensor fault?

Can any of you knowledgeable chaps (or ladys) point me in the right location for it?

1.3 Hdi 75ps nemo Van on a 63 plate

Thanks in advance

Hi guys

Further to my last post I have changed the cam sensor but still having issues with starting

Van intermittently cranks for maybe 5 to 10 seconds before it starts

Sometimes it fires up instantly and then next time it will crank and then start after 10 seconds

No engine lights or fault codes and used citroen dealer part

New glow plugs last year

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Steve

Just an after thought

I have changed the unit number 3 on diagrame

What is the sensor numbered 1 lower down on the engine block?

Number 1 is the crankshaft position/speed sensor.

Great thanks Wheeler.
So just to confirm

I had a P0340 code which is camshaft position sensor (3) which I have changed

Could a faulty crankshaft sensor (1) be at fault?

Just because you have a fault code relating to a sensor does not necessarily meant the sensor itself is faulty.
most basic diag tools should be able to read live data from the crank sensor, to see if there is an RPM signal coming from it when trying to start the engine, check this before replacing parts.
