rossi 0 Posted November 30, 2007 Still in the process of my gti-6 conversion. Was told i needed a crank sensor as the engine i bought didnt come with one (forgotten it). So i've bought one, but the gearbox i'm using (1.9 BE1 box) doesn't have a place for the sensor to go!? This is the only thing stoppin the engine from firing up! Anyone know any way for it to fit on the box? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danpug 1 Posted November 30, 2007 You'll need to get it modified to accept it, unless you grab a later gearbox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossi 0 Posted November 30, 2007 How can it be modified to fit correctly? The cars an 1989 ph1.5 by the way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danpug 1 Posted November 30, 2007 I'd guess it will need a hole drilling and also a threaded hole next to it to take the bolt that holds it in place. You may well be better off grabbing another box if you can find one locally for cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huzzer 0 Posted November 30, 2007 I had the same with my 1.6 box. It should have the mount on the gearbox, but without the hole machined out to take the sensor. I took mine to QEP and they drilled it and tapped it same day iirc. Any good machining shop can do it for you. Ben. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted November 30, 2007 my 89 P1.5 had the hole for a TDC sensor, and it is a BE1 box! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted December 1, 2007 Sounds like the box has been swaped at some point, Most GTi's from 1988 have the hole in place, only the early 14>87 car's didn;t have the hole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
